Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Akmal Masharipov

70 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Obod lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Sardor Ismailov asks to leave Obod

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Tempers go at Obod

Hamza Asrir 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

Akmal Masharipov damages knee ligaments — 99 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 99 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Sardor Ismailov 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 The request is on a desk at Obod, and it is not being withdrawn.

Odilbek Abdumajidov 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

Akmal Masharipov damages knee ligaments — 127 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 127 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Jaloliddin Ganiev 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 The request is on a desk at Obod, and it is not being withdrawn.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

Farhod Nematov, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.84

A mark of 7.84 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Tempers go at Obod

Hamza Asrir 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

A muscle injury sidelines Ronen Gradashov for 16 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Obod will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Squad

Odil Hasanov 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.

The terraces

Obod supporters have found a favourite in Farhod Nematov

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Farhod Nematov 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.

Player ratings

Jaloliddin Ganiev runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Loan watch

Eldor Mirzaev wants to come home

“I did not go to Metallurg to sit and watch. I want to come back to Obod and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 6 matches say the rest.

Match

Metallurg bow out of the cup

Nasaf go through and Metallurg 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.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Ariel Harush

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings

A chastening introduction for Eldor Mirzaev — 5.18

It is a hard way to meet a crowd. Marked 5.18 on the day he was handed the shirt, and the important thing now is what the next one looks like.

Match

4 matches without a win for Metallurg

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Metallurg are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Ariel Harush 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 Metallurg this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Metallurg beat the market to Mironshox Mexmonov from Pakhtakor

Pakhtakor will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Mironshox Mexmonov has pre-agreed a move to Metallurg, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Squad

Words at Metallurg training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sanjar Shoahmedov 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

The manager makes an example of Davron Anvarov

“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.

Market

Metallurg buy the years ahead of Bilal Laurendon

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.
