Squad

Bogdan Rogochiy gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Bogdan Rogochiy has just signed for Ufa, and for once the answer mattered.

Market

Kristian Nord asks to leave Ufa

“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.

Match

5 matches without a win for Ufa

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

Squad

Dmitry Usov 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 Ufa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Ufa come up short against Neftekhimik

Neftekhimik left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Georgy Gongadze is not the player he was

It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph a local paper has to write. 35 years old, 3 points down on where he was, and a body that has started charging interest on a career.

Squad

Bogdan Rogochiy 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 dugout

The manager makes an example of Vitaliy Smolnikov

“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

Timofey Shipunov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The Deportivo Colonia Chronicle

9 Dec 2030
From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Only the photograph left for Jhon Palacios

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Jhon Palacios will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Deportivo Colonia the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market

Simon Panguilef 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 The request is on a desk at Deportivo Colonia, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Tomás Cerri

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Deportivo Colonia have done the hard part with Rampla Juniors, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad

A row about effort at Deportivo Colonia

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Fabio Vázquez was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

A falling-out at Deportivo Colonia

José Martínez and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Tomás Cerri

Deportivo Colonia asked and Rampla Juniors said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Cristian Ramírez is slowing down

At 36, 3 points below where he was, and a body that has started charging interest. It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph on this page.

Squad

Deportivo Colonia count the cost of losing Noah Ramírez

43 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Boardroom

The Deportivo Colonia debt reaches $10.6M

Football clubs borrow; that is not the story. Borrowing more than the facility allows is, because from here it is the owner's money or somebody else's decision, and neither of those belongs to the board.
