Match2 Jan 2027

Legion end the Astrakhan run at 13

Every run ends on an afternoon somebody had marked down as routine. This one went 13 matches, which is long enough that a town had stopped counting, and short enough that it will remember exactly who stopped it.

Squad4 Jan 2027

6 saves: Valentin Grishin was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad4 Jan 2027

The step up is real for Fedor Semenov

At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad4 Jan 2027

A row about effort at Astrakhan

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

Match2 Jan 2027

Legion take the points off Astrakhan

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Bulat Musaev out for 27 days

The medical room confirms 27 days on the sidelines for Bulat Musaev, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The dugout4 Jan 2027

No hiding place for Fedor Galochkin

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

The dugout4 Jan 2027

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑2 defeat, delivered by Miroslav Ovchinnikov to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout4 Jan 2027

Ivan Kudryashov gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Ivan Kudryashov is on it.

Squad21 Sep 2026

8 saves: Valentin Grishin was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Astrakhan

Valentin Grishin 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.

Match19 Sep 2026

Pobeda take the points off Astrakhan

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Dmitry Shilov beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 17. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Aly Tagiev

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

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Miroslav Ovchinnikov 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 dugout21 Sep 2026

Konstantin Kolesnikov does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.

Market21 Sep 2026

The Valentin Grishin question follows Astrakhan around

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

Squad21 Sep 2026

Danila Prokopjev wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Astrakhan will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

Match19 Aug 2026

Astrakhan through in the cup

A 2‑1 win over Mashuk, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match22 Aug 2026

Ivan Kudryashov leads the rout of Druzhba

3‑0, and Ivan Kudryashov took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Astrakhan tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Match19 Aug 2026

Astrakhan leave it late against Mashuk

Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 88th, and Mashuk spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Sergey Dmitriev stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Danil Goryaev, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.71

A mark of 7.71 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Vintage Arno Atti-Bayeba — 7.95

At 33 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.95, and nobody on the pitch better.

Market24 Aug 2026

Arno Atti-Bayeba puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Astrakhan, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market24 Aug 2026

Astrakhan say no — this time

The offer from Shakhter Donetsk for Dmitry Belov 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.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Door shut on Yuriy Zabolotsky

Astrakhan asked and Baltika said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market17 Aug 2026

Danila Zolotorenko turns Druzhba down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Astrakhan rebuffed over Maxim Khokhlov

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

Match15 Aug 2026

Astrakhan come up short against Rostov 2

Rostov 2 left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Market17 Aug 2026

Eyes on Dmitry Belov again

The phone has started ringing about Dmitry Belov again, and this time the name on the line is Shakhter Donetsk. Astrakhan are listening politely and promising nothing.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Miroslav Ovchinnikov 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Astrakhan

Danila Zolotorenko 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 targets17 Aug 2026

A loan move for Yuriy Zabolotsky is in the works

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

Squad17 Aug 2026

Pacho 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 ratings17 Aug 2026

Dmitry Shilov was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 12. 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.
