Squad

Ivan Zhitnikov 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 Dinamo Barnaul this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Dmitry Bakay 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.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Gianluca Di Pietro

Defensive actions: 15. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Dylan Vera

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

Anton Petukhov was immovable

14 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Player ratings

Dmitry Tsvetkov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Vasily Ilik asks to leave Dinamo Barnaul

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Dinamo Barnaul say no — this time

The offer from Kolomna for Savva Kotov was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Eyes on Nikita Vorona again

The phone has started ringing about Nikita Vorona again, and this time the name on the line is Znamya Truda. Dinamo Barnaul are listening politely and promising nothing.

Match

Artem Yarkin’s goal not enough for Dinamo Barnaul

Artem Yarkin scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Krylya Sovetov 2, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

Dylan Vera 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Kirill Mogel

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

Player ratings

Artem Yarkin in the eights

A performance of 8.45 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Tempers go at Dinamo Barnaul

Anton Shadura 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

Ilja Bychkov lets one through his hands

A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

Santiago Sánchez stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Santiago Sánchez and Dinamo Barnaul agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Dinamo Barnaul

Ivan Zhitnikov 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.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Artem Yarkin at his very best

Marked 9.03. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Dinamo Barnaul.

Player ratings

Anton Petukhov was on a different afternoon to everybody else

9.01. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Match

Dinamo Barnaul get the job done against Akron 2

A 2‑0 win over Akron 2, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Market

Dinamo Barnaul and Gianluca Di Pietro are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Dinamo Barnaul

6 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.

Player ratings

Maxim Radchenko was immovable

15 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.
