Akzhaiyk say no — this time

The offer from Zhetysu for Azat Postnikov was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Maxim Akhmetov 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 Akzhaiyk can pretend not to have heard.

Serikzhan Tagybergen 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 Akzhaiyk this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Akzhaiyk training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Azat Postnikov 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.

Eyes on Baurzhan Nuserbayev again

The phone has started ringing about Baurzhan Nuserbayev again, and this time the name on the line is Astana. Akzhaiyk are listening politely and promising nothing.

Ignacio Panzariello has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Akzhaiyk know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

The small margins put Akzhaiyk out

Out, 0‑1 to Tobol, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Zhetysu join the queue for Azat Postnikov

Add another name to the list: Zhetysu have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Azat Postnikov. The answer from Akzhaiyk has not changed — yet.

A first appearance Askhat Kuat will want to forget — 5.62

Everybody's debut is one of two stories and this was the other one. 5.62, and the only consolation available is that nobody's career has ever been decided by ninety minutes in a shirt he had just been given.

Tempers go at Akzhaiyk

Kairat Shomko 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Azat Postnikov

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

Abzal Kuat lets one through his hands

A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Abzal Kuat is still paying for one afternoon at Akzhaiyk

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Market17 Aug 2026

Kairat Nuserbayev is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Akzhaiyk has been clear about where Kairat Nuserbayev stands, which is more than many ever get.

Marat Baizhanov never got going

5.47 on the card. Some afternoons a footballer looks like a man who has only just been introduced to the game, and this was one of them.
