Market

Georgy Korolev asks to leave Dinamo St Petersburg

“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

Only the photograph left for Yegor Glukhov

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Yegor Glukhov will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Dinamo St Petersburg the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Ilja Kubyshkin 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 St Petersburg this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

The goals have deserted Dinamo St Petersburg

3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Dinamo St Petersburg can tell you which week it ends in.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Omar Popov

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Dinamo St Petersburg come up short against Ryazan

Ryazan left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Words at Dinamo St Petersburg training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Roman Torosyan 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 dugout

Grigory Shevchenko answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout

No hiding place for Husan O'rolov

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

Market

Artem Meshalkin has said yes to Amkar

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Dinamo St Petersburg have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market

Faisal Ismail Abdelrahim is on his way

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

Squad

Georgy Korolev is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Words exchanged at Dinamo St Petersburg

Ilja Kubyshkin and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets

Dinamo St Petersburg rebuffed over Timur Nikolov

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Alania have kept their man, and Dinamo St Petersburg go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The dugout

No hiding place for Omar Popov

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

Squad

Husan O'rolov signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Husan O'rolov and Dinamo St Petersburg agree another 3 years.

Squad

A row about effort at Dinamo St Petersburg

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Nikita Khlusov was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

Georgy Korolev 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

Only the photograph left for Georgy Korolev

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Georgy Korolev will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Dinamo St Petersburg the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Tempers go at Dinamo St Petersburg

Rizvan Umarov 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

Husan O'rolov gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Husan O'rolov has just signed for Dinamo St Petersburg, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Oleksandr Masalov 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

Eyes on Artem Meshalkin again

The phone has started ringing about Artem Meshalkin again, and this time the name on the line is Kosmos. Dinamo St Petersburg are listening politely and promising nothing.

The dugout

Dmitry Kuroshev 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.

Transfer targets

A loan move for David Tepsikoev is in the works

Dinamo St Petersburg have made the call to Alania. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Dinamo St Petersburg have made the call to Alania. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Boardroom

Dinamo St Petersburg sign 3 boys into the academy

None of them will be seen by anybody outside the training ground for three years, most of them will never play a senior match, and one of them might change the club. That is the whole proposition, and it is why academies exist.
