Squad

Josimar Alcócer 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 Makhachkala this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

A bad afternoon for Dinamo Makhachkala against Orenburg

0‑2 to Orenburg, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Jan Đapo

“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

Konstantin Shiltsov 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.

Player ratings

The one thing Gamid Agalarov could not do

Shots: 10, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

Player ratings

Josimar Alcócer leaves them behind him

Shots: 6. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

Player ratings

Idar Shumakhov shuts the door

Defensive actions: 30, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Mohammad Javad Hosseinnejad

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Houssem Mrezigue shuts the door

Defensive actions: 22, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad

Jan Đapo signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jan Đapo and Dinamo Makhachkala agree another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Dinamo Makhachkala

Jan Đapo 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

Miro 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.

Match

No goals between Dinamo Makhachkala and Spartak Moscow

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Spartak Moscow will be the happier side with the point.

Player ratings

The one thing Miro could not do

Shots: 8, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

Squad

Mateo Cardona asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

Dinamo Makhachkala turn down Krasnodar for Miro

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings

Garraty runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Mohamed Azzi 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 Makhachkala this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Eyes on Ramazan Aliev again

The phone has started ringing about Ramazan Aliev again, and this time the name on the line is SKA Khabarovsk. Dinamo Makhachkala are listening politely and promising nothing.

Match

Dinamo Makhachkala come up short against Akhmat

Akhmat left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

One of those days for Miro

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.20, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

Jan Đapo 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

Miro finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Dinamo Makhachkala have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Squad

A wage question at Dinamo Makhachkala

Houssem Mrezigue has done the arithmetic and does not like the answer. Nothing corrodes a squad faster, and no club has ever solved it by explaining the wage structure to a footballer.
