The Spartak Moscow 2 Chronicle
Match1 Aug 2026
Spartak Moscow 2 run riot against Tver
4‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Zakhar Chushkin, 18, steals the show — 8.13
Marked 8.13 at 18, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.
Squad3 Aug 2026
Makar Vysochenko stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Makar Vysochenko and Spartak Moscow 2 agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Makar Vysochenko 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.

Words exchanged at Spartak Moscow 2
Timofey Rozhkov and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
The terraces3 Aug 2026
One of their own: Pavel Pelevin
He is 18 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Talks stall between Spartak Moscow 2 and Makar Vysochenko
“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
Squad3 Aug 2026
Too much change too quickly at Spartak Moscow 2
32 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.
The dugout3 Aug 2026
Aleksei Bocharov has his say
“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Aleksei Bocharov on a 4‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.
