Squad29 Oct 2029

Tempers go at Sochi 2

Yegor Totskiy 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.

Matías Costas 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.

Alexey Filimonov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Andrey Semenov 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.

Nothing got past Alexandr Metsiev

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 13 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Dmitry Rakhmanov shuts the door

Defensive actions: 21, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Match29 Sep 2029

Sochi 2 see off Sevastopol

Three points for Sochi 2, 1‑0 the final word against Sevastopol in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad1 Oct 2029

No hiding place for David Ozmanov

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

Alexandr Mkrtychyan takes the honours

Marked 7.92 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Sochi 2 had the best player on the pitch.
