Market

Yegor Chistyakov 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 Krylya Sovetov 2 can pretend not to have heard.

Match

No end in sight to Krylya Sovetov 2's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Krylya Sovetov 2 has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Dani Fernández 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 Krylya Sovetov 2 this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Andrey Tsorn

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

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Shodibek Sharipov

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Yegor Chistyakov 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.

Match

Denis Malikov rescues a point for Krylya Sovetov 2

It needed Denis Malikov to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Akron 2, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Market

Talks stall between Krylya Sovetov 2 and Ilja Gribakin

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

Krylya Sovetov 2 pick somebody else ahead of Artem Radaev

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Player ratings

Shodibek Sharipov, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.77

A mark of 7.77 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.

Market

Maxim Vityugov 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 The request is on a desk at Krylya Sovetov 2, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

No end in sight to Krylya Sovetov 2's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Krylya Sovetov 2 has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Ilja Gribakin 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 Krylya Sovetov 2 this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Alexey Lysov 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Artur Zagorodnikov

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

Market

Yegor Chistyakov asks to leave Krylya Sovetov 2

“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

Nikolay Maximov signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Nikolay Maximov commits to Krylya Sovetov 2 for another 3 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Krylya Sovetov 2

Ilja Gribakin 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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Arseny Osadchiy

At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Market

Rubin watching Maxim Vityugov

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Krylya Sovetov 2 have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

Nikolay Maximov 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

Talks stall between Krylya Sovetov 2 and Ilja Gribakin

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

“I want to play”: Nikolay Maximov speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Market

Maxim Vityugov told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Maxim Vityugov has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Krylya Sovetov 2.
