Squad

Tempers go at Inter

Ilhan Fakili 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 Inter training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mathew Gbomadu 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Javid Jafarov

“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.

Market

Javid Guseynov 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 Inter can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Samir Sheydaev 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 Inter this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Loan watch

Namig Jafarov wants to come home

“I did not go to Umraniyespor to sit and watch. I want to come back to Inter and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 17 matches say the rest.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Emin Mammadov

There were 12 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Inter

A 0‑4 beating by Qarabag was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Match

Inter bow out of the cup

Khazar go through and Inter go home, 2‑9 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

The terraces

A cup hiding at Khazar leaves Inter explaining themselves

2-9, and long before the end the away end had switched from encouragement to something considerably more pointed. Nobody rings a phone-in about losing narrowly.

Squad

Remember the name: Ilhan Fakili

He is 20, he is averaging 7.17, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Market

Only the photograph left for Javid Guseynov

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Javid Guseynov will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Inter the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Player ratings

Ilhan Fakili runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Deniz Yilmaz among the goals in a wild afternoon

11 goals in one match, Deniz Yilmaz on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Inter and Khazar.
