Player ratings

Kirill Korolkov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 38. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Amkar up to position 1

14 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Match

Amkar tear Uralets-TS apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 4‑1 against Uralets-TS, and it could have been more.

Player ratings

A brace, and Alexandr Dolgov takes the afternoon — 8.81

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Alexandr Dolgov provided it, and the 8.81 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Nikita Goldobin scored one and made one — 7.90

Two of the goals had his name somewhere on them, which is the afternoon a manager wants from anybody asked to both create and finish. 7.90, and 2 involvements.

Squad

Tempers go at Amkar

Kirill Korolkov was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

No hiding place for Mikhail Sukhoruchenko

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

Squad

Words at Amkar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alex Matsukatov is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Lev Tolkachev has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Amkar will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The Amkar Post

From our football correspondent Steady

Player ratings

A goal and an assist for Artem Kotik — 7.78

Involvement in 2 goals, from a player who spent the ninety minutes doing the thing a manager actually wants: being where the ball was going to end up. 7.78 beside his name.

Squad

Kirill Korolkov 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 Amkar this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Amkar come up short against Khimik

Khimik left with the points after a 2‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Diogo Medeiros signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Diogo Medeiros commits to Amkar for another 2 years.

Squad

Alexandr Dolgov gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Alex Matsukatov 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.

Market

Still no ink between Amkar and Mikhail Sukhoruchenko

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Amkar, another week without a signature from Mikhail Sukhoruchenko.

Market

48 months and counting on Vladislav Zernaev

Still no offer on the table, and Vladislav Zernaev’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Market

Amkar sign Maxim Nedomoratskov, one for the future

Maxim Nedomoratskov is 20, and Amkar have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

In brief
