The striker hits back at the suspended disqualification handed down by Uefa and claims there are political motives at work against his country as authorities seek to end violence
Russia striker Artem Dzyuba claims that criticism of his team's supporters may be politically motivated, hitting back at what he feels is the portrayal of England fans as "angels".
The Russian team were handed a suspended disqualification from Euro 2016 on Tuesday after a number of their followers charged at their England counterparts in the Stade Velodrome in Marseille on Saturday following a 1-1 draw.
But while Dzyuba appealed for his country's travelling support to focus on getting behind the team, he added his belief that politics has played a huge part in coverage of the clashes so far.
