Zenit striker Artem Dziuba recalled the performance of the Russian team at Euro 2016.
“After Slutsky came to the team there was a surge. When a coach changes, this always happens. When Capello seems to have lost chances to enter Euro 2016.
Then came Leonid Viktorovich, whom many did not know. Here once-once-once – and magic. We are going to the European Championship. At one point, Capello was all too strict. It was impossible to go down to the first floor and much more. There was something beyond.
At that moment, the loss of Denisov was a big blow for us. This was a fundamental person. After that we were left “naked”. Without an opornik. Without a man who could cement the center of the field, defend himself and burn everything.
Fighting fans? The English themselves are not whipping boys. When everything began to be presented that they were beaten … There wasn’t such that we were white and fluffy and started to beat them for no reason. They behave themselves aggressively, so they got a rebuff from well-trained guys.
After the match, they sat and talked with England. We were happy to be saved at the end. They have a cool gang. It seems even Mutko came in. We felt that this draw gave us confidence.
The match with Slovakia was like an ice shower. We pressed them and began to choke. Then a long transmission, some kind of misunderstanding, a mistake – and a goal. Then they went on the attack again. Then the corner – and 0: 2. In the second half, they started and could only score one. And how many more moments were there? For the game and everything else – it was just an accident. This is football. This happens.
These are the famous insiders that Mamaev had a fight with Shirokov or Glushakov. In fact, Pasha had nothing to do with it. The phenomenon was that a person simply lay on a pillow. The laughter was that when they hit him, there was a phrase: “You have one less life left.” It was funny here. In that situation, I went to hedge if something happened. And so it happened. Glushakova nearly strangled the poor fellow.
After the match with Wales, they sat and discussed the game. They said that we must accept our bad game. In everything and everywhere you need to be a team. Fight for each other, cut, ”said Dzyuba in the program“ Our on Euro ”on the air of“ Match TV ”..
We are playing the PS4, GoPro and a bunch of other prizes in Fantasy. We will choose one winner randomly!
