Marked for Jasur Mirzaev

Squad

A fracture rules Aziz Ahmedov out for 66 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Obod will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Tempers go at Obod

Taoufik Safsafi 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

Jasur Mirzaev gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

The wait goes on for Obod

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Market

Amir Fayzullaev 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 The request is on a desk at Obod, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Doniyor Nematov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Metallurg come back empty-handed

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

Squad

Lebohang Lesako 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 Obod this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Dostonbek Tursunov will join Obod for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Dostonbek Tursunov has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Obod have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Squad

Words at Obod training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Taoufik Safsafi 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

No hiding place for Jasur Mirzaev

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

Squad

Islom Masharipov dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Squad

Doniyor Nematov 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 Obod this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Obod training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Otabek Mirzaev 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.

Match

Sogdiana take the points off Obod

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Jasur Mirzaev

“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.

Player ratings

The game went through Timur Abdullaev — 7.12

Marked 7.12 on 9 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

Squad

Doniyor Nematov 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 Doniyor Nematov trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
