The dugout

Mikhail Lyamzin says Dinamo Vologda went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

A falling-out at Dinamo Vologda

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Anton Betyuzhnov

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

Squad

Words at Dinamo Vologda training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dmitry Dolgov 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.

Market

Maid Ahmed is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Dinamo Vologda has been clear about where Maid Ahmed stands, which is more than many ever get.

The dugout

Danila Yezhkov gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Danila Yezhkov is on it.

Squad

A promotion for Dmitry Dolgov

Not a new contract, not a new number: a new place in the manager’s thinking, which is the only promotion in football that actually matters. Dmitry Dolgov has moved up it.

Market

Artem Isik linked with a move away

The name of Artem Isik keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Dinamo Vologda say nothing, which says plenty.

Match

No mercy from Dinamo Vologda

Zenit 2 will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Dinamo Vologda were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Player ratings

A brace, and Matvey Burlakov takes the afternoon — 9.47

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Matvey Burlakov provided it, and the 9.47 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market

Mikhail Petrolay asks to leave Dinamo Vologda

“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.

Squad

A move Daniil Antonenko would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Daniil Antonenko is living that version at Dinamo Vologda, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market

Islam-Bek Gubzhokov comes home

The shirt still fits. Islam-Bek Gubzhokov is back at Dinamo Vologda, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Squad

Andrey Yakovlev 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 Dinamo Vologda this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Dinamo Vologda

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

Market

Danil Polunin steps up from the Dinamo Vologda academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Danil Polunin has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Dinamo Vologda promote Mark Bokov from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mark Bokov has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
