Squad

Agil Dadashov damages knee ligaments — 15 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 15 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

Inter tear Neftchi apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Neftchi, and it could have been more.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Rashad Mammadov at 21 — 7.79

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Rashad Mammadov did not need any: 7.79, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

The terraces

Inter supporters have found a favourite in Rashad Mammadov

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Rashad Mammadov has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad

Shahriyar Sadygov 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

No hiding place for Lapidar Lladrovci

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

Squad

Agil Dadashov damages knee ligaments — 22 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 22 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

Inter let it slip despite Yusuf Barasi

Yusuf Barasi had done his part in building a 2-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and Kapaz were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.

Player ratings

Yusuf Barasi scores twice — 8.06

Two goals and a mark of 8.06 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

Inter lose Jesús Cortéz

34 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Yusuf Barasi

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad

No hiding place for Maksim Dadashov

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

Squad

Rashad Nadirov 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.

Match

Honours even between Inter and Kapaz

2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Player ratings

Rufat Sadygov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 10. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Agil Dadashov

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

Squad

Eddy Jafarov keeps the receipts

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

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.
