Market

David Kobesov 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 The request is on a desk at Alania, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

7 matches without a win for Alania

The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Alania are no longer polite ones.

Squad

David Tepsikoev keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Alania may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Tempers go at Alania

Alan Bagaev 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Alania against Tyumen

2‑3 to Tyumen, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Dzambolat Tsallagov

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

No hiding place for Ibragim Tsallagov

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

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Ismail Dibirov at his very best

Marked 8.07. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Alania.

Squad

Defences have started doubling up on Ismail Dibirov

5 goals and a season average of 7.33 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Market

Timur Chetoev asks to leave Alania

“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

Anzor Amiraliev 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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to David Byazrov

At 23 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Anzor Amiraliev

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

Match

Mashuk take the points off Alania

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

Market

The Timur Chetoev conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Kuban Holding will make the call about Timur Chetoev this week. Alania have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Player ratings

David Kobesov 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.

Squad

Dzambolat Tsallagov dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Market

Alania put Dzambolat Tsallagov up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Dzambolat Tsallagov may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.
