The Premier League is the only championship in which Dziuba would like to leave Russia. But this does not prevent him from childhood rooting for Real Madrid and supporting Ronaldo. “My dream is to play in England, but at worst I will go to Madrid. In Spain, they play so slowly that you have time to pick your nose, ”the footballer thought, moving to Zenit.
2. Loves the movie Braveheart. And Harry Potter
Film by Mel Gibson, filmed back in 1995, Artyom called his favorite. Gibson himself played in it the role of the legendary Scotsman Wallace, who staged a crusade against the British in the 13th century. Speaking of cinema, Dziuba recently advised subscribers to watch the latest Avengers. He also quoted Albus Dumbledore in an interview with Fr.
Dziuba: I’ll get old, I’ll plant my grandchildren and I’ll tell: “Guys, your grandfather ...”
The most restless player of the Russian national team responded to criticism, called himself the Russian Federer and said hello to Trefilov.
3. Stole the girl from his best friend
Dziuba met his future wife at a Moscow party in a cottage, celebrating the New Year. Christina really liked his friend, football player Ivan Komissarov, but Artyom was much quicker in those days. “She was surprised to know who I am. I thought that all football players were stupid and arrogant. I had to dispel the myth, ”recalls Artyom. Soon the couple signed and, despite some difficulties, are still together - they are raising two children!
4. Not like Kerzhakov
“I didn’t“ beat, beat and will beat, ”the striker said at the beginning of his career that his football mentality is very far from the precepts of Alexander Kerzhakov. “In principle, I try to find a moment and improve the situation,” Artyom said about his philosophy. The football player is still true to himself, but this does not prevent him from regularly scoring at the World Cup. As part of the national team, he dreams of breaking Kerzhakov's record.
5. Gaining weight easily
“This is my eternal problem. Many eat constantly - and nothing. Makeev is absolutely phenomenal! She loses 3-4 kilograms per night, she can eat as much as she likes - at least henna. Jeanne is the same. I don’t know how they burn those kilos.” Due to the peculiarities of the body, Artyom has to severely limit himself at the training camp. Sometimes at the training camp he manages only kefir and fruits. Otherwise - overweight.
"The feeling that we are your enemies." Dzyuba made a powerful manifesto
Artyom explained to the fans and journalists what they were wrong about.
6. Does not change jerseys after the match
Once Artyom admitted that asking for T-shirts is not his story at all. “In my opinion, running around and asking for a jersey after a match is comical,” Dziuba said. But he still snatched a few T-shirts. One, for example, belonged to Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Although he didn’t ask her either, he simply turned to his former Spartak partner Kim Kjellström.
7. Reads difficult literature
Artyom is one of the few football players who takes a pack of books to the training camp. No, he doesn't read science fiction for geeks like Belyaev, but historical novels by authors like Jack London or Yuri Nikitin are already on the read list. The forward is especially proud that he mastered de Sade's 120 Days of Sodom: “It was important, because in Tomsk everyone, including Fedya Kudryashov, said: “I didn’t master it, I left it on page 15-30.” And, playing in Spartak, Dziuba seriously read literature about the history of the club.
Dziuba is the best at this World Cup in three indicators at once. Are you surprised?
Lots of statistical facts about our team.
8. I am sure that the best athlete on the planet is not a football player
Dzyuba loves many sports. He cannot stand only chess, considering this occupation as hellishly boring. Artyom is especially good at tennis - once he even managed to take a prize in an amateur tournament. Dzyuba's favorite athlete is just a tennis player - Roger Federer. “When he plays, I get excited and sweat like I'm playing myself,” the forward shares.
9. I grew up in an ordinary family, and my father was a fan of Dynamo Kyiv
Dzyuba's father worked in the police, his mother worked in a grocery store. At the same time, both of them are not from Moscow: mom is from Chuvashia, and dad is from Ukraine in general. This explains his former sympathy for the Kyiv club. The football player recalls that his father did not like working in the police: it was pure extraction of money in order to feed his family. Therefore, as soon as the career went uphill, Artyom insisted that his parents quit.
10. I once interviewed teammates
Guess who got the idea to try Artyom as an interviewer? With the idea, we were not mistaken, and he showed himself as cool as possible. And of course, in his questions, he scolded half of the Spartak team. He accused Yakovlev of being a vampire, hinting at the color of his skin, and pressed Makeev on the topic of frequent photos in red and white uniforms, with which he allegedly catches girls. There were no problems with Karpin then, and Artyom directly asked if the coach Dzyuba considered his standard. Here, take a peek if you're interested.
Artyom Sergeevich changes profession
Vampire Yakovlev, sea urchin Rebrov and conqueror of palm trees Liu Hongsheng - in an interview with Artyom Dzyuba, which he took from Spartak partners.
Artyom Dzyuba is a famous football player, forward of FC Zenit and the Russian national team. The current hope of Russian football began his football career with the Spartak club.Family and childhood of Artem Dzyuba
In 1988, the future forward of the Russian national football team was born in one of the houses in Moscow. Artyom's parents, by the nature of their activities, had nothing to do with football. Father, Sergey, a Ukrainian by nationality, served in law enforcement agencies, Artem's mother, at the time of meeting her husband, worked as a seller in a grocery store. At first, the family lived in a communal apartment, then acquired their own housing. In 1992, a replenishment appeared in the family - daughter Olga was born. 
Artyom has been fond of football since early childhood. At the age of 8, the child was already enrolled in the Spartak Academy. The coaches saw great potential in the boy, Alexander Yartsev paid special attention to the young talent. It was with the patronage of Alexander that the sports career of Artem Dzyuba began.
The formation of the football player Artem Dziuba. FC Spartak
In 2005, Dzyuba moved to the backup team of the "adult" team. Soon after his confident demonstration of talent, Artyom was allowed to train with the main team. 
A year later, the athlete made his debut in the main team of Spartak, when the football club met with the Yekaterinburg team Ural in the match for the Russian Cup.
The young footballer officially got into the main team of FC Spartak in 2007, and in the very first season he managed to score 5 goals in 27 matches, for which Dziuba was awarded the status of "top scorer of the season". Spartak took second place in the domestic championship, respectively, Artem Dziuba became the silver medalist of the competition.
In 2009, during the team's stay in Austria, Vladimir Bystrov, a club player, lost a large amount (23 thousand rubles), which was later found at Dziuba's. Artyom reacted categorically: he did not take the money, he was set up.
In connection with the incident, Artyom was transferred to the Tom team, where he quickly gained the authority of teammates and club fans. The young guy became a main striker, scoring 10 goals in a season. After the end of the season and the demonstration of excellent results, Dzyuba returned to Spartak.
The 2011/2012 season was very successful for Dzyuba's career. He scored 1 of 3 goals in the match with the Swiss "Basel" (score 3:2 in favor of "Spartak"). In 2012, the forward was honored to wear the captain's armband. The first match (away match with Zenit on May 6, 2012) in the new powers ended with the victory of Spartak with a score of 3:2.
All goals of Artem Dziuba for Spartak
However, soon the football player's career began to decline. The football player had to give way to a new player, Emmanuel Emenike, and when the head coach changed to Valery Karpin in November 2012, Dzyuba became a regular on the bench.
Further career of Artem Dziuba. FC Zenit
In July 2013, on loan, Dzyuba moved to FC Rostov, where in the very first “battle” against Terek he scored two goals and led the team to victory. In the next match with the well-known Tomyu, Artyom scored a hat-trick. As part of the Rostov team, the young football player was awarded a silver place in the Russian Championship with 17 goals, losing to Seydou Doumbia from CSKA. As part of Rostov, Dzyuba also won his first prize - the Cup of Russia. 
After a successful season, Artyom returned to Spartak. In the fall of 2014, the contract with the Moscow club ended, and Artyom refused to renew it, as he received a better offer from FC Zenit. The amount of the proposed contract reached €3.3 million, and in the summer of 2015 Artyom joined the legendary St. Petersburg team.
Artem Dziuba about the reasons for the transition to Zenit
In the very first game against Dynamo (July 19, 2015), Dzyuba earned a penalty kick, which was converted by Hulk. Artem Dzyuba scored the first goal for Zenit during the match against Ural.
On September 26, 2015, Spartak and Zenit entered into a confrontation at the Moscow Otkritie Arena. At the 87th minute of the match, Zenit striker Artem Dzyuba, with the help of Oleg Shatov, equalized the score - 2: 2, but out of respect for his former teammates, he did not celebrate the achievement.
As part of the first season as part of FC Zenit, Dzyuba broke the Champions League record for the number of goals scored by Russians in one season: 6 goals, the last of which was a goal against FC Gent (the previous record belonged to Roman Shirokov).
Artem Dziuba in the Russian national team

In 2011, the player was included in the second squad of the Russian national team, but in the fall they were taken to the main team."Evening Urgant": Dzyuba, Cheryshev and Slutsky demonstrate a new form of the national team
This was followed by a break, and only in September 2014, the young athlete took part in the national team as part of the qualifying match for the Euro 2016 Cup. His first goal was scored in the Liechtenstein team's net.
In September 2015, Dziuba scored brilliantly against the Swedes, bringing the victory to the Russian team. And a couple of days later, in a game with Liechtenstein, Dzyuba scored the so-called "poker" - 4 goals per match. This brought him the title of the second player in the history of domestic football (USSR and Russia) who scored more than 3 goals per game (the first was Oleg Salenko with 5 goals in the match against Cameroon).
Artyom was considered a promising young player who performs well both for Zenit and in the Russian national team. In autumn 2015, against Moldova, he scored the eighth goal of the tournament, setting the record for the most goals scored in a single cycle.
April 9, 2016 is a memorable date in the professional career of Artem Dzyuba. In a match with Perm "Amkar" he scored his hundredth goal.
In the second game against Egypt, Dziuba scored a goal in the 59th minute. The Russian team won with a score of 3:1. Also, the football player scored a goal from the penalty spot during the match between Russia and Spain in the 1/8 finals.

Artem's father is from Ukraine, but by the time the future football player was born, the family lived in Moscow. Artem's parents were not connected with football: his father worked in law enforcement, and his mother was a shop assistant. Artem also has a younger sister, Olga. The whole family lived in a Moscow communal apartment. Later they bought their own apartment in the capital.
Since childhood, Artem attended the sports section and always dreamed of becoming an outstanding football player. By the age of 8, his talent was noticed, and the boy was invited to the Spartak Academy. When the guy was 17 years old, he was invited to the adult Spartak team. At first, he did not play in the first team, but a year later he played for the main team in 8 matches.
Career
Being part of Spartak until 2015, the football player was repeatedly transferred on loan to other clubs: Tom in 2009/2010, Rostov in 2013/2014/2015. The reasons were different: both scandals, and failures in the performance in the first team, and the desire of the club to make money.
From February 2015 to the present, Artem Dzyuba has been playing for the Zenit club (St. Petersburg). The player earns more than 3 million euros a year. In 2018, the player was loaned to Arsenal Tula for the entire season. At the same time, he participated in the match against his current club and scored a goal, thereby bringing Arsenal a draw in this meeting.
Artem started playing in the UEFA Cup in 2007 and has 15 goals scored in the Eurocup. The 2015/2016 season was the most successful for him - then Artem scored 6 goals.
Artem began playing for the Russian national team in 2011. Only in 2014 he managed to score 2 goals in the national team, after which in each season he had at least 3 goals. In total, during his career in the national team, Dzyuba played in 27 matches and scored 14 goals.
Personal life
The football player is married and together with his wife Christina they are raising their sons Nikita and Maxim. Wife Christina is not a public person. The couple met in Nizhny Novgorod and after a month of dating officially formalized the relationship. At that time, Christina was a student. In 2013, the couple had their first child.
In 2015, a provocative photo of Artem and the famous TV presenter Orzul appeared on the Internet. This caused indignation of fans and many questions to the football player from the public. Artem admitted his guilt, revised family values and made a lot of efforts to save the marriage.
In 2016, the second son was born in the family of a football player, named Maxim. Artem himself is trying to protect the family from curious journalists and numerous admirers. Doesn't post personal photos online. However, in one of the interviews he said that Nikita attends the football section and is making progress. It’s too early to talk about the preferences of the younger, but the mischievous character is perfect for a hockey player, according to Artem.
Interests and hobbies
In an interview, Artem repeatedly mentioned that he likes to relax reading books or playing computer games. Of contemporary writers, Dziuba likes Daniel Keyes. Of course, the preferences in games on a console or computer are football, for example, FIFA and NHL.
At the Arsenal
Forward of the St. Petersburg "Zenith" and a candidate for the Russian national team to participate in the home world championship - 2018 Artem Dzyuba officially moved to Arsenal. The Tula club announced the signing of a lease agreement with the striker until the end of the season. Artem will play for the Gunners under the 24th number.
Rumors about the arrival of Dziuba to this team circulated throughout almost the entire January. It was clear that there was no place for a football player in the blue-white-blue team, and therefore both the club and he himself were looking for a new job for him.
When Roberto headed Zenit before the 2017/18 season, he said that the tandem of attackers Kokorin - Dziuba should score 35 goals in a season.
Then it seemed ridiculous because of Alexander, who in previous years did not shine with performance, but frankly turned sour on the flank, while Dziuba was the leader of the attacks, scoring 28 goals in 56 meetings in two seasons in the championship.
At the same time, under Mancini, Kokorin was returned to the forefront of the attack, where things immediately went uphill for him, which hit his partner.
Dzyuba started the field in the first two matches of the Premier League of the season, but failed to excel in them, went to the reserve and settled there, coming on as a substitute in almost every match, but often in the last ten minutes.
Zenit started the season very powerfully, but in the fall Mancini tried to re-integrate Dziuba into the squad. The shift to the flank again reduced Kokorin's performance, and Artem himself was able to score only twice in the first part of the season - against the Macedonian Vardar in the Europa League and in the RFPL match with Tosno.
His team won both meetings with a score of 5:0, which reduced the value of the striker's effective actions.
In winter, it became clear that Mancini was no longer counting on the player when he was not taken to the first team training camp, announcing that Artem had health problems and was in a FIFA-authorized clinic.
The football player himself denied this by posting his workouts on Instagram, while writing that he was “one hundred percent ready.”
At least two teams of the elite division of Russian football showed a substantive interest in Dziuba, however, according to rumors, the football player's wife did not want to go to Ufa.
The option with the Tula Arsenal turned out to be beneficial in all respects. The Gunners have been doing well this season, sitting ninth in the standings under Miodrag Bozovic.
It was with this specialist that Dziuba spent his best season in his career at Rostov in the 2013/14 season, when he scored 17 goals in the Premier League and won the National Cup, his only trophy in his career.
Together with Dzyuba, the Zenit defender also moves to Arsenal, who has never appeared on the field this season and also did not get into the blue-white-blue players who went to the training camp in the UAE. He also joined the Tula team on loan.
Smolov with a hammer
On January 31, the fate of the Krasnodar forward and the Russian national team Fedor should be decided. The Premier League top scorer of the last two seasons, who heads the list of goalscorers even now, is determined to leave the current club.
Smolov was of interest to Zenit this winter, but Fedor turned down the opportunity to move to the northern capital, determined to try his hand abroad.
The most likely option for the striker to continue his career is London West Ham. The player himself has already agreed to move to the camp of the "Hammers", but so far the clubs cannot agree among themselves.
West Ham wants to take Smolov on loan with an option to buy, while Krasnodar insists on making a transfer right now.
Smolov was reportedly offered £15 million on January 31 by another club in the Premier League, Swansea, but the player himself did not want to move to the camp of an outsider of the English Championship, even though the Welsh have gained momentum lately, having not lost five matches already and consistently defeating Liverpool and London's Arsenal.
ready to buy
Moscow "Spartak" continues to work on strengthening the composition, agreeing on the details of a personal contract with the midfielder of the Belgian "Anderlecht" and the Algerian national team Sofyan Hanni.
The footballer, who scored against Rostov and Bayern Munich in European competition, at the last moment requested improvements in the terms of his personal contract from the red-and-whites, but at the same time rejected the offer from China.
At the same time, the Spartacists themselves withstand pressure from the English clubs. It seems that Quincy Promes and will remain in the team for the second part of the season, for which Southampton and Newcastle offer 30 and 20 million pounds, respectively.
The reluctance to let the players go is due to the inability to find an adequate replacement for them now and the team's struggle in the second part of the season on three fronts - the Russian Championship, the Europa League and the Cup of the country.
