The dugout

Leo Goglichidze keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Spartak Moscow 2 may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market

Kashima Antlers watching Sebastiano Nava

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Spartak Moscow 2 have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

The dugout

No hiding place for Arseny Kondoyanidi

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

Squad

A row about effort at Spartak Moscow 2

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

Squad

A falling-out at Spartak Moscow 2

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

Squad

Prokhor Chkalov signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Prokhor Chkalov and Spartak Moscow 2 agree another 3 years.

The dugout

A promise honoured at Spartak Moscow 2

Something was said to Mamadou Maïga and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

The dugout

Matvey Kuznetsov does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.

Market

Artem Nosachev linked with a move away

The name of Artem Nosachev keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Spartak Moscow 2 say nothing, which says plenty.

Player ratings

Daniil Zorin scores twice — 8.35

Two goals and a mark of 8.35 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings

Zakhar Chushkin, 20, steals the show — 7.72

Marked 7.72 at 20, 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

Sebastiano Nava is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Market

Vadim Tsygankov attracts admirers

The name of Vadim Tsygankov has come up in conversations Spartak Moscow 2 were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Arseny Kondoyanidi

At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Daniil Zorin the difference as Spartak Moscow 2 beat Irkutsk

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Daniil Zorin. 2‑0 against Irkutsk, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Match

The drought breaks for Spartak Moscow 2

5 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Irkutsk were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Arseny Kondoyanidi

“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.

Squad

Artem Nekrasov 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 Spartak Moscow 2 this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

In brief
