Russian clubs are not ready for European cups: Dzyuba predicts defeat

According to inkorr.com: Artem Dzyuba, striker of the Russian club 'Akron' and the top scorer in the history of the Russian national football team, commented on the difficulties of the return of Russian clubs to European cups after a long absence from the international arena.

Without a chance. It’s better not to return in this condition now. I think we will be crushed there, " Dzyuba noted, commenting on the probable resumption of Russian teams' participation in European tournaments.

Suspension of Russian clubs

Let us recall that in February 2022, FIFA and UEFA suspended the participation of Russian teams and the national team in international competitions due to Russia's conflict with Ukraine.

Sporting achievements

In other sports news, Russian fencer Yana Yegoryan became the world champion, winning the final against Polish athlete Zuzanna Czeslar with a score of 15:11. Yegoryan is also an ambassador of the Russian public movement 'Healthy Homeland', which actively operates in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

Club 'Bilogirya'

Furthermore, the club 'Bilogirya' decided to complete its training camps in Belgorod due to regular shelling and move preparations for the new season to Tula. Last season, the club held its home matches in Tula to improve safety conditions.

Impact on the football ecosystem

It is worth noting that due to the suspension of Russian clubs from European cups, the national team network and the ambitions of the teams are suffering significant losses, which, according to Dzyuba, may significantly impact the balance of power in European football.

The situation with the participation of Russian clubs in international tournaments remains complicated. In the conditions of suspension, which has lasted for more than a year, players and teams may soon feel the serious consequences of their ambitions. This highlights the importance not only of results on the field but also of geopolitical circumstances that affect sports.
