Market

Inter turn down Zira for Cavid Medvedev

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Renat Nazarov 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

Words exchanged at Inter

Cəlal Hüseynov and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Javid Ozobic 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.

Transfer targets

Neftchi tell Inter: Edvin Kuč is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Imad Faraj is in the works

Inter have made the call to Neftchi. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets

Inter ask about Emil Səfərov

A loan enquiry to Neftchi: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The dugout

Javid Ozobic asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout

When it matters, Mahir Nazarov plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Match

Inter march on in the cup

Khazar are out and Inter go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Squad

Xəyal Fərzullayev keeps Inter in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

The terraces

One of their own: Xəyal Fərzullayev

He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

Qarabag take the points off Inter

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Words at Inter training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mahir Medvedev 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.

Player ratings

Carlinhos takes the honours

Marked 7.70 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Inter had the best player on the pitch.

The dugout

Cavid Jafarov faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Cavid Jafarov after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad

Xəyal Fərzullayev named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Xəyal Fərzullayev is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Player ratings

Agil Nazarov beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 14. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

In brief
