Vintage Anton Zabolotny — 8.12

At 35 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.12, and nobody on the pitch better.

Squad30 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Rostov

Victor Melekhin and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match28 Nov 2026

Rostov see off Dinamo Moscow

Three points for Rostov, 1‑0 the final word against Dinamo Moscow in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad30 Nov 2026

A row about effort at Rostov

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Maxim Mukhin was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Loan watch30 Nov 2026

Grigory Molchanov counts the days

“I watch every Rostov game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Irtysh runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Player ratings30 Nov 2026

Olakunle Olusegun runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

Roman Lermontov: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Cássio

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Cássio, and the manager let it.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Rustam Yatimov shuts the door again

7 clean sheets and counting. Strikers leave this ground muttering his name, which is exactly how a goalkeeper measures a good season.

Market28 Sep 2026

Ronaldo hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Rostov can pretend not to have heard.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Rustam Yatimov keeps Rostov in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match26 Sep 2026

5 matches without a win for Rostov

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Rostov are no longer polite ones.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Rostov

Olakunle Olusegun and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match26 Sep 2026

A bad afternoon for Rostov against Spartak Moscow

0‑1 to Spartak Moscow, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Dmitry Pestryakov falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Roman Lermontov: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Cássio

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Cássio, and the manager let it.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Yannick Agnero: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Rostov will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Maxim Mukhin goes up and wins it — 7.93

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.93 for the rest of it.

Match19 Sep 2026

4 matches without a win for Rostov

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Rostov are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Ronaldo was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 23. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Olakunle Olusegun in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Rostov this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets21 Sep 2026

Rostov rebuffed over Egas Cacintura

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Akhmat Grozny have kept their man, and Rostov go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match19 Sep 2026

A bad afternoon for Rostov against CSKA Moscow

1‑2 to CSKA Moscow, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Too much change too quickly at Rostov

12 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Roman Lermontov to a room that had heard them before.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Federico Marcucci stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Federico Marcucci and Rostov agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

In brief
