Market

Tikhon Kerzhakov 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 The request is on a desk at Rubin Yalta, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Danil Polyakh 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 Rubin Yalta this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Still no ink between Rubin Yalta and Francisco Guedes

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Rubin Yalta, another week without a signature from Francisco Guedes.

Market

Rubin Yalta sign Kirill Chemakin, one for the future

Kirill Chemakin is 20, and Rubin Yalta have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Match

Rubin Yalta and Spartak Nalchik take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Player ratings

Ilja Glebov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 13. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tikhon Kerzhakov 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.

Squad

Ilja Glebov named player of the week

One weekend, judged against everybody else's. Ilja Glebov has come out on top of it, and for most footballers a weekly award is the only silverware a career ever produces.

Squad

Francisco Guedes still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Rubin Yalta would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

Player ratings

Nikita Panamarev scored one and made one — 7.96

Two of the goals had his name somewhere on them, which is the afternoon a manager wants from anybody asked to both create and finish. 7.96, and 2 involvements.

Squad

Tempers go at Rubin Yalta

Danil Polyakh 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

Rubin Yalta find a way past Dinamo Makhachkala 2

Dinamo Makhachkala 2 made Rubin Yalta work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Ilja Glebov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Danil Polyakh was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.01. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

Beka Djanelidze gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Danil Polyakh finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Rubin Yalta have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Market

Tikhon Kerzhakov told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Tikhon Kerzhakov has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Rubin Yalta.
