Market20 Sep 2027

Ivo Pedraja 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 The request is on a desk at Volga, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market20 Sep 2027

Only the photograph left for Samir Bonasola

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Samir Bonasola will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Volga the goodbyes have quietly begun.

The dugout20 Sep 2027

Leny Lamore keeps the receipts

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

Boardroom20 Sep 2027

Samir Bonasola signs for Neftekhimik while still at Volga

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Samir Bonasola has agreed terms with Neftekhimik for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad20 Sep 2027

Tempers go at Volga

Dani Fernández 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.

Player ratings20 Sep 2027

Artur Murza beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad20 Sep 2027

Kamil Ibragimov 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.

Transfer targets20 Sep 2027

Volga rebuffed over Alexey Kenyaikin

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Rubin have kept their man, and Volga go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Player ratings20 Sep 2027

The afternoon belonged to Andrey Kostin

A mark of 7.36, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Transfer targets12 Jul 2027

$390.0K settles it between the clubs for Vyacheslav Litvinov

Sochi have accepted the money. What Volga do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Market12 Jul 2027

Dmitry Rakhmanov has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Volga they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Transfer targets12 Jul 2027

Dmitry Chistyakov turns down Volga

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Rostov keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Konstantin Shiltsov 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 Volga this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout12 Jul 2027

The manager makes an example of Kamil Ibragimov

“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.

Market12 Jul 2027

Volgar are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Volga will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Market12 Jul 2027

The Vladislav Yakovlev question follows Volga around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Vladislav Yakovlev’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Market29 Mar 2027

Danil Novikov has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Volga they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

The dugout29 Mar 2027

Aleksandr Dovgal' says Volga 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.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Aleksa Đurasović 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 Volga this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Leny Lamore is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Words at Volga training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Artur Murza is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout29 Mar 2027

No hiding place for Vladislav Rudenko

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

The dugout29 Mar 2027

A promise honoured at Volga

Something was said to Kamil Ibragimov and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

The dugout29 Mar 2027

Kamil Ibragimov 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 Kamil Ibragimov trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Looking ahead29 Mar 2027

Alexandr Saplinov faces his old club

Spartak Kostroma next, and one man in the Volga dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.
