Squad

At 19, Artem Serikov is already the best thing here

An average of 7.23 in a first team he is several years too young for. Uralets-TS have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Market

Maksym Czekała 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 Uralets-TS can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

A falling-out at Uralets-TS

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

Match

Still nobody has beaten Uralets-TS

The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Match

Krylya Sovetov 2 end the Uralets-TS run at 5

Every run ends on an afternoon somebody had marked down as routine. This one went 5 matches, which is long enough that a town had stopped counting, and short enough that it will remember exactly who stopped it.

Squad

Tudor Butucel 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 dugout

No place for Yefim Kolobov on the big day

He found out with everybody else, an hour before kick-off, from a sheet of paper on a wall. Nobody at Uralets-TS pretended it was anything other than a decision about him.

Player ratings

Giovanni Farneti was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 15. 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.

Squad

Mikhail Sentyurin makes the team of the month

Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

In brief

  • The dugout Timothy Robert gets it from the manager
  • The dugout The view from the dugout
  • The dugout Somebody else is better right now than Daniil Gerasimov

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Anton Polorotov puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Uralets-TS, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Albert Gabaraev keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Uralets-TS may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Player ratings

Wojciech Szafranek scores twice — 9.03

Two goals and a mark of 9.03 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Artem Serikov at 19 — 8.46

The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Artem Serikov did not need any: 8.46, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Boardroom

Uralets-TS told to sell

The instruction came from the boardroom and the dugout did not agree with it. Somebody will go, the fee will be called good business, and the manager will spend the season rebuilding around the space.

Squad

A row about effort at Uralets-TS

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

The terraces

Uralets-TS supporters have found a favourite in Artem Serikov

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 19-year-old it feels ownership of. Artem Serikov has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Uralets-TS see off Nosta

Three points for Uralets-TS, 2‑0 the final word against Nosta in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Boardroom

124% of the income goes out in wages at Uralets-TS

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

From our football correspondent Steady

Match

Uralets-TS out of the cup

Fakel ended it 1‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Market

Anton Polorotov 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 Uralets-TS can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Artem Serikov, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 8.07

A mark of 8.07 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Words exchanged at Uralets-TS

Nikita Karmaev and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings

Timothy Robert beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Mikhail Sentyurin at his very best

Marked 8.24. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Uralets-TS.

Boardroom

123% of the income goes out in wages at Uralets-TS

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Match

Uralets-TS caught on 86 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Akron 2 scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

Squad

A place in the month's best eleven for Mikhail Sentyurin

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Mikhail Sentyurin has come out of that comparison in the side, and Uralets-TS have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

In brief
