We asked football agent Dmitry Selyuk to comment on this news.
– This is still at the level of rumors, I usually do not comment on rumors, but if you ask to express your opinion, I will express it, – says Selyuk. – Andrey Talalaev usually plays with a striker. Therefore, such a striker must work hard. Such an ideal striker for the Talalaev scheme was in Akhmat Konat. He had 30-40 singles bouts per match. Dzyuba will now not master such a volume.
But Talalaev is a very creative and thinking coach. He can slightly change the scheme, in which the rest of the players will partly work for Dziuba.
– So that later he worked in the attack for the rest due to his virtues.
– Exactly. “Torpedo” with Dziuba will shoot more riding balls. By the way, not only in someone else’s penalty area. We all remember how Dziuba, at Zenit itself, helped the defense in his own area when he fought for headed balls.
Dzyuba is the best Russian striker in recent years. He, in any condition, will score more in the remaining 13 rounds than any team’s top scorer.
– But Torpedo is hopelessly relegated, the team has only 6 points, a solid last place.
– I repeat, Talalaev is a creative, thoughtful and ambitious coach. I can say this for my players who played with it. About “Torpedo” the first half of the season should be forgotten. There were unsuccessful transfers, I mean the invitation of the Serbs.
We see that changes are already taking place. Zhuravlev came from Akhmat, Talalaev himself brought him, Kukharchuk came from Khimki. I liked it in Khimki.
In spring we will see a completely different Torpedo. All of Talalaev’s teams know how to fight. I’m sure the Torpedo will catch on the joints.
– So, let’s recap: does Dzyuba need Torpedo?
– Artem is necessary for any RPL club, both Torpedo and Zenit.
