Player ratings

Rustam Berzegov shuts the door

Defensive actions: 37, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Match

Dinamo Vologda march on in the cup

Irkutsk are out and Dinamo Vologda go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Market

Wael Kadan asks to leave Dinamo Vologda

“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.

Squad

Tempers go at Dinamo Vologda

Artem Shabolin 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

Nobody could get near Artem Shabolin

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Roman Polkovnikov

“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

Wael Kadan in the eights

A performance of 8.49 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings

Vladislav Pronin in the eights

A performance of 8.43 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Market

Tver watching Foma Karimov

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Dinamo Vologda have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Boardroom

Dinamo Vologda counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Dinamo Vologda now.

Market

Rodion Konstantinov is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Dinamo Vologda is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market

Sergey Oliynyk asks to leave Dinamo Vologda

“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.

Squad

Tempers go at Dinamo Vologda

Artem Shabolin 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

Gleb Gusev 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.

Market

The Andrey Yakovlev story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Andrey Yakovlev signs something — a contract at Dinamo Vologda or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Squad

Gleb Gusev: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Dinamo Vologda have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Mikhail Lyamzin has one foot out of the door

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

Market

Vladislav Konyrev 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 Dinamo Vologda can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Andrey Yakovlev 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 Vologda this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Alexandr Mironov

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

Market

The Artem Shabolin question follows Dinamo Vologda around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Artem Shabolin’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

In brief

The Flamurtari Chronicle

From our football correspondent Steady

Market

Ariol Kaloshi 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 Flamurtari can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Igor Aleksovski stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Igor Aleksovski and Flamurtari agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Jacques Mbé 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 Flamurtari this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Redi Kasa in the eights

A performance of 9.20 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings

One of those days for Esat Mala

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.61, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Christ Evo Ememe

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Herald Marku

“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.

Match

Redi Kasa rescues a point for Flamurtari

It needed Redi Kasa to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Tirana, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Squad

Esat Mala finally opens his account

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