Marked for Ilja Molibog

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Nikita Tereschuk is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.68 with 15 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Market

Vladislav Kostryukov 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 Strogino can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Legion come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Strogino did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Match

5 matches without a win for Strogino

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Strogino are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Ilja Molibog keeps the receipts

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

Squad

Tempers go at Strogino

Nikita Tereschuk 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 Strogino against Zenit Penza

1‑2 to Zenit Penza, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

Nikita Tereschuk in the eights

A performance of 8.94 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Alexey Muldarov

“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.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Nikita Tereschuk in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Strogino this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Wages eat 345% of everything Strogino earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

Strogino count the cost of losing Denis Dragan

14 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Mikhail Mikaelyan 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.

Player ratings

Andrey Alexeenkov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 13. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

No goals between Strogino and Kvant

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Kvant will be the happier side with the point.

Player ratings

Nikita Tereschuk leaves them behind him

Shots: 5. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

Market

Talks stall between Strogino and Patrik Opalek

“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.

Player ratings

A day to forget for Sergey Guzyuk

Marked 5.71, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.
