Match5 Apr 2028

Zhetysu bow out of the cup

Atyrau go through and Zhetysu go home, 0‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Serikzhan Muzhikov, 38, rolls back the years — 8.00

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.00 at 38, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Kafiatur Rizky 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 The request is on a desk at Zhetysu, and it is not being withdrawn.

Words at Zhetysu training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alan Chochiev 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.

Tempers go at Zhetysu

Mourad Kaaouach 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.

Zhetysu supporters have found a favourite in Aslan Akhmedov

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Aslan Akhmedov 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.

Zhetysu see off Akzhaiyk

Three points for Zhetysu, 2‑0 the final word against Akzhaiyk in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Aslan Akhmedov was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.31. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

No hiding place for Mourad Kaaouach

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

Serikzhan Muzhikov 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 Zhetysu this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Hamdan Saeed gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Hamdan Saeed has just signed for Zhetysu, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad3 Apr 2028

Alan Chochiev 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.

Mladen Kovačević is free to find somewhere else

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

No hiding place for Meik Karwot

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

A long bet from Zhetysu on Hamdan Saeed

He is 18, and nobody at Zhetysu signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
