The head coach of the Russian national football team Stanislav Cherchesov called the replacement of the striker Artem Dziuba in the national team. His words are quoted on the website of the Russian Football Union (RFU).
Cherchesov considered that Alexander Sobolev, as well as Fedor Chalov, who had previously played for the Russian youth team, should help the team. “We will do what will be right. One player is eliminated – he must be changed. Everyone brings something of their own, ”said the coach.
Due to an intimate video featuring Dziuba, Cherchesov made the decision not to call the player to the November matches. The coach felt that the team and the player should be protected from negativity. In addition, Dziuba was deprived of the captain’s armband at Zenit St. Petersburg.
A number of Russian celebrities opposed Cherchesov’s decision. Among them are actor Danila Kozlovsky, TV presenter Olga Skabeeva and rapper Morgenstern.
