Nobody could get near Benjamín Aravena

Successful dribbles: 47. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match18 Sep 2027

13 unbeaten for Irkutsk

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 13 matches without defeat is a foundation Irkutsk did not have in the autumn.

Market20 Sep 2027

Vladimir Popov 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 The request is on a desk at Irkutsk, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match18 Sep 2027

The run at home goes on for Irkutsk

12 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Squad20 Sep 2027

Vladimir Popov 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.

Irkutsk supporters have found a favourite in Ivan Kuznetsov

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

Squad20 Sep 2027

Nikita Malyarov knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Irkutsk, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match18 Sep 2027

Irkutsk and Tver cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Tver came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Squad20 Sep 2027

Ivan Kuznetsov left out for tactical reasons at Irkutsk

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market13 Sep 2027

Eldor Komilov 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 Irkutsk can pretend not to have heard.

Squad13 Sep 2027

Words at Irkutsk training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nikita Malyarov 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.

Squad13 Sep 2027

Tempers go at Irkutsk

Dmitry Miller 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.

A long bet from Irkutsk on Eldor Komilov

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

Squad13 Sep 2027

The manager makes an example of Artem Dudarev

“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.
