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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Odilbek Abdumajidov

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout

Damir Temirov 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.

The dugout

A door opens for Abdulvohid G'ulomov

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

The dugout

Imeda Ashortia keeps his manager's vote

The message was aimed at the stands as much as the dressing room: Imeda Ashortia plays, and the argument is closed until the manager decides otherwise.

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.

In brief

Back issues

Squad

68 days out for Usmonali Ismonaliyev after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Andijon will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The dugout

Nematulloh Rustamjonov: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Andijon have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Tempers go at Andijon

Martin Boakye 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 dugout

No hiding place for Islom To'xtaxo'jayev

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Islom To'xtaxo'jayev, and the manager let it.

Squad

Sardor Azimov 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.

Loan watch

Po'latxo'ja Xoldorxonov counts the days

“I watch every Andijon game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Zhetysu runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

In brief
