Squad

Igor Dmitriev damages knee ligaments — 16 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 16 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.

Squad

Alexandr Ryabinkin stands alone

8 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market

Dmitry Usov has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Textilschik they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Player ratings

Fredrik Lislegaard, 18, steals the show — 7.80

Marked 7.80 at 18, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad

Words exchanged at Textilschik

Ilja Klementjev and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

Textilschik come up short against Chelyabinsk

Chelyabinsk left with the points after a 2‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Evgeny Steshin signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Evgeny Steshin commits to Textilschik for another 2 years.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Maxim Polyakov

“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.

Boardroom

Wages swallow 101% of the Textilschik income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Squad

Igor Dmitriev damages knee ligaments — 23 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 23 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

Evgeny Tatarinov has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Textilschik they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Player ratings

Dmitry Usov did the work nobody counts — 6.91

18 combined actions and 6.91. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Squad

A falling-out at Textilschik

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

Squad

Dmitry Usov makes it 100

100 times in these colours, in all weathers and under four or five different managers. That kind of service is quietly disappearing from the game.

The dugout

No hiding place for Sebastian Johansen

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

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Denis Sabusov

7.55, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Textilschik had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

The dugout

When it matters, Ilja Klementjev plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout

Gleb Karimov: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Igor Dmitriev damages knee ligaments — 30 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 30 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.

Match

Textilschik are in real trouble now

Position 8, 11 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Player ratings

Victor Demjanov pops up at the right end — 7.99

7.99, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad

The step up is real for Lucas Neverdal

At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

Words exchanged at Textilschik

Evgeny Tatarinov and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

A bad afternoon for Textilschik against Leningradets

1‑3 to Leningradets, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

Alexandr Ryabinkin 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.

Match

The half-term report on Textilschik

Position 8, 11 points, and every result so far reduced to one line. The second half of the season starts with the same squad and a different set of expectations.

The dugout

Gleb Karimov: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑3, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.
