Russian footballer, forward of the St. Petersburg "Zenith" and the Russian team.
Artem Dziuba is perhaps the most controversial Russian footballer, with whose name many scandals are associated that occurred not only on the playing field, but also outside it.
Childhood and parents of Artem Dziuba
Artem Dzyuba was born on August 22, 1988 in Moscow, into a family far from sports. Artem's father is from Ukraine, worked in law enforcement agencies. Artyom's mother from Chuvashia, worked as a salesman in a store, where she met her future spouse.
The family did not live well. Until the age of 10, the future footballer lived with his parents in a communal apartment in the center of the capital. Having saved up funds, the parents bought an apartment in the Novokosino area.
Artem Sergeevich has a younger sister Olga (1992).
From early childhood, Artem was fond of football. From the age of 8 he played at the Spartak football academy. Dzyuba was noted by the coach of the children's youth team Alexander Yartsev, the son of the Soviet football player and honored coach of Russia Grigory Yartsev.
The beginning of a sports career and first performances
At the age of 17, the young man was transferred to an adult team, and he began playing for the reserve team on the recommendation of the Soviet football player Yevgeny Sidorov. Having shown a good game, Dziuba was invited to play for the main team.
His debut in the red and white lineup took place in 2006 in the Russian Cup match against the Yekaterinburg Ural. In total, during the 2006/07 season, Dziuba played eight matches, never hitting the rivals' goal.
The next season was more successful for the Spartak striker. Over the entire season, he scored five goals and played 27 games as part of the team, without missing a single tournament. In the Premier League, he managed to score the only goal against the opponent, leveling the score and taking the team away from defeat. Successful performances in the 2007/08 season brought the striker the title of "top scorer of the season", and the red and white finished second in the domestic championship.
The 2008/09 season was marked by failures for Dziuba: the young talent lost his place in the squad, and played 16 games in the championship and was replaced in each of them.
Scandal with the loss of money and transfer to "Tom"
An attempt to be in the main squad of the red and white in 2009 ended in failure for the 20-year-old striker for a reason far from the football field.
At the training camp in Austria, his teammate Vladimir Bystrov lost money. As a result of his own investigation, Bystrov found in Artem Dziuba's pocket the amount (23 thousand rubles) that had been stolen.
The forward himself denied his guilt and claimed that he was framed. However, he did not go to court with libel charges. Spartak's management and the team then sided with Bystrov, and Dziuba was loaned to Tom.
The footballer after this scandal in an interview called Bystrov “product number 23”, and Vladimir, commenting on this situation, replied: “We were with him in the national team - we say hello. On the field - too. But then we are not friends. "
In the Tomsk team, Dziuba quickly achieved success and in 2010 became the main forward, scoring 10 goals per season. After the end of the season, Dziuba returned to Spartak.
"Gamer" against "trainer"
The next two seasons with Spartak were quite successful for the footballer. He managed to score a goal in the Europa League match against Swiss Basel. In May 2012, the forward appeared on the field with the captain's armband, which was unusual for such a young footballer.
The 2012/13 season was marked by a change of coach for the team. Spanish specialist Unai Emery was to lead the club. At the beginning of the season, Dziuba received a lot of playing time, but there was no result. Then the Spanish coach put the player on the bench.
After another unsuccessful match, journalists approached Dziuba with a request to comment on the game, to which he replied: “Yes, let our 'trainer' speak. Since then, Dzyuba has firmly established the nickname "game".
Unai Emery himself has since won the Europa League three times in a row with the Spanish “Sevilla” and today coaches Neymar at PSG.
Dziuba's scandalous transition to Zenit St. Petersburg
Dziuba's transfer to the St. Petersburg club, which is the main rival of the red and white, became another reason for the scandalous story in which the footballer and money were involved.
In the fall of 2014, the footballer refused to renew his contract with Spartak and rejected a new one, believing that he deserved a higher fee. According to the club's shareholder Leonid Fedun, three proposals were made to the footballer, and the last one was so great that the board of directors was against it.
Refusing all the proposals of the red and white, Dziuba signed an agreement with Zenit in the amount of 3.3 million euros. And the president of the red and white people said that there would be no new proposals for Dziuba, and "for a penny he would strangle his relatives."
Instead of forgetting this story, Dziuba tried to sue Spartak for the amount that was withheld as a fine for commenting on the situation (this was prohibited under the contract).
Artem Dziuba's phenomenal love for money was even played up in one of the KVN numbers.
Dziuba at Zenit got the 22nd number and made his debut in the match for the new team in July 2015. A week later he scored his first goal for the St. Petersburg club.
At the beginning of 2017, he was chosen as the team's vice-captain, and on November 19 he played his 100th match as part of the St. Petersburg team. Later he was removed from the team and at the end of January 2018 was loaned to Arsenal Tula until the end of the season.
In response to the fact that Zenit did not take Artyom Dziuba to the first winter camp, the footballer posted on his Instagram a video from the gym with the hashtags # ZdorovKakLev and # ReadyNaAll100 and added a translation of the English poet William Henley's poem "Unconquered".
Artem Dzyuba in the Russian national team
In 2009, Artem played in the national youth team. Then he spent 9 games and scored 9 goals into the opponents' goal.
In 2011 he was called up to the national reserve team. In the autumn of the same year, he was called up to the main squad for the game with Greece, where he spent the first half.
The second match for the Russian national team was played against the United States in November 2012. In 2014, he was initially included in the list of candidates for the 2014 World Cup, but was later transferred to the reserve.
Dziuba scored his first goal for the Russian national team in 2014 in the qualifying match of the 2016 European Championship against Liechtenstein. The second goal of a football player in the national team flew into the gates of the Swedish national team in the fall of 2015.
On June 3, 2018, Dziuba was included in the final application of the Russian national team. Artem scored his first goal at the 2018 World Cup on June 14 in a game against Saudi Arabia, replacing Fedorov Smolov in the 70th minute of the game.
In the second match against the Egyptian national team, Dziuba also managed to hit the opponent's goal, scoring one of three victorious goals.
Personal life of Artem Dziuba
The personal life of the Russian forward is also full of scandals and intrigues. Dziuba is married to a girl named Christina, whom, as it turned out, he took from his best friend and pupil of "Spartak" Ivan Komissarov. But no one would have known about this if he had not told about it himself in an interview.
According to Dziuba, his friend liked Christina. Artem invited Ivan to invite her and her friends to Moscow and celebrate the New Year together.
In the end, it turned out that Dziuba liked Christina too. Not tormented by doubts, he decided to get the girl, and left his friend with a nose. “There was a big company, and that's all. The victory was mine. Almost immediately, "the media quotes the forward.
A month after they met, the couple legalized the relationship, and in 2013 they had a son, Nikita, who already goes to the football section.
The victory he won in the fight for the girl almost turned into a loud fiasco for Dziuba in 2015, when he was caught cheating with TV presenter Maria Orzul. This case cost her a divorce from her husband - the director of sports programs of the TV channel "Russia 24" Alexander Tashchin.
And the footballer managed to beg forgiveness from his wife. According to Artyom, he was ashamed in front of his wife, and after this situation he revised his values.
The wife of the Zenit striker is not a public person. Christina Dziuba does not give interviews, her name appears only next to the name of her star husband, and even then rarely. Acquaintance with a football player resembles the plot of a film novel, where two men are fighting for the heart of a lady. The girl gave the famous Russian athlete two heirs and managed to find the strength to forgive high-profile betrayal.
Childhood and youth
The early biography of the girl is a secret sealed with seven seals. The press only knows that Christina was born and raised in Nizhny Novgorod. According to some media reports, the maiden name of the footballer's wife is Orlova.
After school, Christina entered one of the universities in her hometown, where she finished her fourth year. Then, with the support of an athlete groom, she transferred to the capital's university.
Personal life
Christina met her future husband on New Year's Eve 2012. Then the girl took courtship from another football player, Ivan Komissarov, who grew up under the tutelage of Spartak coaches. The intrigue was that the athlete is a close friend of Dziuba. However, this did not stop Artyom, who fell in love at first sight.
At the invitation of the players, Christina and her friends went to celebrate the New Year in the capital of Russia. The party took place in a rented cottage near Moscow. Dziuba managed to win the heart of the fragile beauty of Nizhny Novgorod. He says he won the girl in just three or four days.
Curiously, Christina had no idea that she was dating a promising footballer, whose name had already acquired hundreds of fans. The girl is far from the world of sports. Her own father "opened his eyes" - when she brought her lover to meet her parents. The news was unexpected, because the provincial student had a bias towards athletes. Christina believed that football players are not distinguished by intelligence and are famous for arrogance. Artyom had to dispel the myth, and he did it.
After a month of meetings, the couple went to the registry office. Most of the media claim that young people got married, but in an interview published on the Web in the fall of 2013, the attacker says:
“Now I’m building a house in the Moscow region, a family hearth. Christina and I, my Nikita's mother, have not yet been scheduled. In two years we will have a wedding somewhere on the islands. To make everything beautiful. We will call relatives, the son will grow up, he will have fun with us. "
The firstborn in the family was born in April 2013, Dziuba was present at the birth. Artem shared his delight on his Instagram page. He said that now he is a truly happy person.
Christina and Artem Dzyuba Two years later, the athlete and his wife became heroes of the main press news. Clouds thickened over his personal life. In the spring of 2015, the paparazzi caught Artyom cheating, the photos taken immediately hit the Web, causing a scandal.
Dziuba, rented at that time by Rostov, went to the qualifying tournament of the European Championship, which was held in Montenegro. But before leaving, he decided to say goodbye to his mistress, who turned out to be a famous TV presenter.
The couple came under the sights of cameras right in the car of the TV star. The athlete and the blonde, who was also married, hugged and kissed for almost an hour. Later, Maria's husband filed for divorce, but Artem managed to "forgive his sins." Christina decided to keep the family. In the same year, the girl supported her husband at the match in Rostov.
Soon the family moved from Moscow to St. Petersburg, and on February 26, 2016, the footballer had a second son, who was named Maxim.
Christina and Artem Dzyuba Artem does not like to remember the betrayal, but nevertheless answers reporters to questions that repent of this topic. He admits that he was very worried in life only two times: before participating in the program “What? Where? When?" (the players appeared on the program at the initiative of the coach of the Russian national team) and at a time when rumors of an affair with Orzul reached his wife. He laments that he made a mistake, and with a shudder imagines how this story could have ended:
"I realized that I could have lost the most important thing in life."
According to the parents, the sons are also growing up as athletes. Senior Nikita "from the cradle" in the football section, and the younger Maxim is fond of hockey.
Christina Dziuba now
Christina Dziuba rarely appears in the media. The girl's name once again appeared on the Internet in early 2018. Then the question was which club the spouse would join. Artyom was invited to the main squad of FC Ufa - a bright opportunity, football critics say. However, Christina rejected this option, explaining that Bashkiria is too far from St. Petersburg and Moscow. As a result, Dziuba ended up in Tula Arsenal, which is much closer.
In social networks, a dispute broke out between fans about the influence of wives on the fate of football players. In an interview, Sergei Gerasimets, a former Zenit player, hastened to defend Artyom. He stated that it is okay to give directions for a husband's career:
"A footballer should play where it is more comfortable for him and his family."
Artyom Sergeevich Dzyuba was born on August 22, 1988 in Moscow during the Soviet era. In 1992 his sister Olga was born.
His parents worked in different countries. My father worked as a policeman in the Ukrainian city of Lubny, Poltava region. Mother worked as a grocery saleswoman in an even smaller town in Tsivilsk. But Tsivilsk was in Russia. Having risen in position, she became deputy director. In this store, the parents met.

In the final match against Tottenham, the British managed to equalize the score - 2: 2. All goals were scored by Dzyuba. After “Spartak” was unable to continue the fight for the trophy.
Transition to "Tom"
Having played 8 matches and scoring only two goals, Vladimir Bystrov had a conflict with Artem. 23 thousand rubles were stolen from Bystrov from a locker in the dressing room. The sum was in Dziuba's pocket. He said that he was set up, but they did not believe him and was transferred to the Tom team on loan. He could return to Spartak only at the end of the 2010 season.

"Spartak" deprived Dziuba of his February salary for an interview with the press service of "Zenith", with which the player signed a five-year contract, but its validity began only in June 2015. The RFU Players' Status Committee recognized this decision as illegal and ordered Spartak to pay the debt.

According to the Zenit forward, after watching analytical programs on the Match-TV channel, he got the impression that media workers behave like enemies of the national team.
“When I'm in my room, I like to watch the Match-TV channel. Constantly such a background, as if you are our enemies. Constantly you don't like something: “Cool in Argentina, cool in Portugal, cool there, cool here”. I would like to say: “Well, go there, why are you here?”. We work and we know that they are rooting for us and worried. I assure you: there will be no indifferent people on the football field. Everyone will fight, fight and play football "- quoted the football player" Championship ".

You can both love and hate Artyom, which is what the fans have been doing in recent years, but only now he really showed what he was capable of. It turned out that Dziuba is a real king of the air, and in order to win at least something from him at the top, he must be seriously damaged somehow (this also failed). Artem took on the burden of leadership in terms of communicating with journalists, whom he urged to come to their senses before the start, and in everything else, ”wrote“ SP ”about Dzyuba in an article dedicated to the performance of the Russian national team players at the 2018 World Cup.

To drown out the shouts of Moscow fans at the Zenit-Arena, speakers were used to simulate the noise of the stands, the news reported.
“Some bark and grunt, others hammer. I said this to those who are sectarians, who are fascists, and the rest are normal fans, ”Dziuba himself made such a harsh statement after the game. After that, there was already a lot of criticism against Dziuba, in particular, the ex-president of the RFU Vyacheslav Koloskov called the use of the word fascists an obvious overkill.
Personal life of Artem Dziuba
Artem Dziuba is married, the name of his wife is Christina. The footballer met his future wife, a 4th year student in Nizhny Novgorod in 2012. After a month of dating, the couple signed. In 2013, Artyom and Christina had a son, whom their parents named Nikita.

In March 2015, Artem Dzyuba temporarily left the location of the national team on the eve of the team's departure for the 2016 UEFA European Championship qualifying match in Montenegro and spent time in the company of an attractive blonde.
The 27-year-old footballer left the hotel lobby after dinner. Talking on the phone, Artyom slowly walked away from the hotel to a safe distance and sat on the passenger seat of an expensive foreign car, where a pretty blonde was waiting for him. The couple spent some time in conversations that smoothly turned into lovemaking, the news reported.
After sitting in the car for about an hour in this way, Dziuba at around ten in the evening went back to the hotel for the planned head coach of the Russian national team Fabio Capello hang up. Capello, commenting later on the news of the incident, said: “They were talking. And talking is not forbidden. "
The Premier League is the only championship in which Dziuba would like to leave Russia. But this does not prevent him from rooting for Real Madrid and supporting Ronaldo from childhood. “My dream is to play in England, but at worst I will go to Madrid. In Spain they play so slowly that you will have time to pick your nose, ”the footballer thought when he moved to Zenit.
2. Loves the movie "Braveheart". And "Harry Potter"
Mel Gibson's film, shot back in 1995, was called by Artyom his favorite. Gibson himself played in it the role of the legendary Scotsman Wallace, who organized a crusade against the British in the 13th century. By the way, about the movie - recently Dziuba advised subscribers to watch the latest "Avengers". He also quoted Albus Dumbledore in an interview with Fr.
Dziuba: I'll grow old, put my grandchildren and tell them: "Guys, your grandfather ..."
The most restless player of the Russian national team responded to criticism, called himself a Russian Federer and said hello to Trefilov.
3. Took the girl away from his best friend
Dzyuba met his future wife at a Moscow party in a cottage, celebrating the New Year. Christina really liked his friend, footballer Ivan Komissarov, but Artyom was much quicker in those days. “She was surprised to find out who I am. I thought that all the 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“ hit, hit and will hit ”, - at the beginning of his career, the forward said 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,” - said Artyom about his philosophy. The footballer 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. Gains weight easily
“This is my eternal problem. Many people eat all the time - and nothing. Makeev is generally phenomenal! She loses 3-4 kilograms per night, she can eat as much as she wants - even if only henna. Jeannot is the same. I don’t know how they burn these kilograms ”. Due to the peculiarities of his body, Artyom has to strictly limit himself at the training camps. Sometimes at the training camp he only gets along with kefir and fruit. Otherwise, there is an advantage.
"The feeling that we are your enemies." Dziuba 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 a T-shirt is not his story at all. “In my opinion, running and asking for a jersey after the match is ridiculous,” says Dziuba. But he still snatched a few T-shirts. One, for example, belonged to Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Although he did not ask for it either - he simply turned to the former Spartak partner Kim Chellström.
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 of the fact that he mastered de Sade's 120 Days of Sodom: “It was important, because everyone in Tomsk, including Fedya Kudryashov, said:“ I didn’t master it, I left it on pages 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?
There are many statistical facts about our team.
8. I am sure that the best athlete on the planet is not a footballer
Dziuba enjoys many sports. Only chess can not stand, considering this occupation as hellishly boring. Artyom is especially good at tennis - once he even managed to take a prize in an amateur tournament. Dziuba's favorite athlete is just a tennis player - Roger Federer. “When he plays, I worry and sweat, as if I’m playing myself,” says the forward.
9. Grew up in an ordinary family, and his father was a fan of Dynamo Kiev
Dziuba's father worked in the police, his mother in a grocery store. Moreover, 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 Kiev club. The footballer 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 his career took off, Artyom insisted that his parents quit.
10. Once interviewed teammates
Guess who got the idea to try Artyom as an interviewer? We were not mistaken with the idea, and he showed himself as cool as possible. And of course, in his questions he obsessed half of Spartak's squad. Yakovlev was accused of being a vampire, hinting at the color of his skin, and he pressed Makeyev on the topic of frequent photos in a red and white uniform, with which he allegedly clings to girls. There were no problems with Karpin then, and Artyom directly asked if coach Dziuba considered his standard. Here, nostalgic if you're interested.
