Loan watch29 Mar 2027

Artem Kotik keeps scoring at Amkar

22 appearances away from home and 33 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Boardroom29 Mar 2027

The scrutiny sharpens at Neftekhimik

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Neftekhimik is running low.

Squad29 Mar 2027

A fracture rules Maxim Shorkin out for 80 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Neftekhimik will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market29 Mar 2027

Mikhail Sukhoruchenko has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Neftekhimik they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Paulinho 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 Neftekhimik this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Words at Neftekhimik training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dmitry Shadrintsev 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.

The dugout29 Mar 2027

Rashid Magomedov knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Neftekhimik, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout29 Mar 2027

The manager makes an example of Maxim Shorkin

“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.

The dugout29 Mar 2027

When it matters, Georgy Tsvetkov plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Match30 Sep 2026

Neftekhimik march on in the cup

KDV Tomsk are out and Neftekhimik go through, 2‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

What a way to start for Georgy Tsvetkov — 7.85

1 on the scoresheet on his first appearance and a mark of 7.85 beside it. Most debuts are got through; this one was enjoyed, by him and by everybody watching it.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Denis Titow was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 31. 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.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Nikita Vasiljev, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 8.02

A mark of 8.02 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.

Georgy Tsvetkov has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Neftekhimik they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Neftekhimik

Marat Sitdikov 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.

Loan watch5 Oct 2026

The goals keep arriving from Artem Kotik’s exile

15 goals in 10 games at Amkar — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Neftekhimik updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Words at Neftekhimik training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Paulinho 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.

Boardroom5 Oct 2026

190% of the income goes out in wages at Neftekhimik

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.
