Tempers go at AGMK
Giorgi Papava 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.

Dostonbek Tursunov is a AGMK player again
He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Ulug'bek Xoliqov gets the move he always wanted
Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Ulug'bek Xoliqov has just signed for AGMK, and for once the answer mattered.

A row about effort at AGMK
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Siavash Haghnazari was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Miras Dilmūrat signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Miras Dilmūrat and AGMK agree another 3 years.

No hiding place for Mirzo Fayzullaev
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mirzo Fayzullaev, and the manager let it.

The Aziz Xolmurodov question follows AGMK around
Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Aziz Xolmurodov’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

AGMK have something to play for
Position 4 on 56 points, and the places that carry a European ticket are close enough to count. Seasons like this are decided by two results in April, and the club knows which two.

Ali Abdurahmonov 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 AGMK, and both men came out saying it was fine.
