Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Rinat Abiken

21 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Akzhaiyk lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

Tempers go at Akzhaiyk

Roman Yemeljanov 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.

Squad

Dmitry Khokhlov 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.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Rinat Abiken

52 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Akzhaiyk lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Dauren Abiken asks to leave Akzhaiyk

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Irtysh come back empty-handed

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

Squad

Tempers go at Akzhaiyk

Roman Yemeljanov 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.

Squad

Words at Akzhaiyk training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Talgat Kuat 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 dugout

The manager makes an example of Talgat Murtazaev

“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.

Squad

Baktiyor Vorogovskiy stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Baktiyor Vorogovskiy and Akzhaiyk agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Akzhaiyk put Talgat Murtazaev up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Talgat Murtazaev may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

The dugout

Baktiyor Vorogovskiy 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 Baktiyor Vorogovskiy trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
