Boardroom

Pressure builds in the Obod boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Match

Obod sink to position 15

14 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Market

Pejman Pouraliganji 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 Obod can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Amir Ganiev 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. Jasur Ismailov 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

Amir Shomurodov stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Amir Shomurodov and Obod agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Player ratings

Timur Masharipov scores twice — 8.44

Two goals and a mark of 8.44 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Match

5 matches without a win for Obod

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Obod are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Obod

Timur Masharipov 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.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Obod and Bunyodkor in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Match

Obod come up short against Bunyodkor

Bunyodkor left with the points after a 2‑4 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Words at Obod training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jasur Ismailov 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 Umid Urunov

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

Squad

Bobur Suyunov signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Bobur Suyunov and Obod agree another 3 years.

Market

Nodir Masharipov told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Nodir Masharipov has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Obod.
