Squad

Tempers go at Andijon

Imeda Ashortia 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.

Market

Jasur Shomurodov steps up from the Andijon academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jasur Shomurodov has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

The dugout

Ibrohim Yo'ldoshev knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Ibrohim Yo'ldoshev trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad

Po'latxo'ja Xoldorxonov has had enough of the bench

“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and Andijon will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.

The dugout

Damir Temirov has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Damir Temirov has written the date down.

Squad

Nematulloh Rustamjonov is not doing himself any favours

A manager forgives a bad Saturday far more readily than a bad Tuesday, because one of them he can explain and the other one he chose. The reports this week have not been good.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Abdulvohid G'ulomov 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 Andijon can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout

Nematulloh Rustamjonov says Andijon went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

A falling-out at Andijon

Martin Boakye and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Boardroom

Wages swallow 117% of the Andijon income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Squad

A row about effort at Andijon

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Shohjahon Yorqinboyev

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

The dugout

Rustam Turdimurodov knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Rustam Turdimurodov trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout

Asilbek Aliev has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Andijon will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market

The Usmonali Ismonaliyev story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Usmonali Ismonaliyev signs something — a contract at Andijon or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
