Danil Kapustyanskiy damages knee ligaments — 52 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 52 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.

The dugout

Danil Kapustyanskiy says Angusht 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.

Match

Sochi 2 take the points off Angusht

Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Match

Halfway: Angusht sit in position 14

4 points at the turn. The first half of a season is a promise; the second is a bill, and the town is about to find out which of the two this one was.

The dugout

No hiding place for Daniil Gerasimov

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

The dugout

Rodion Zimin answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Player ratings

Jakub Jakimiuk beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 15. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

A falling-out at Angusht

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

The dugout

When it matters, Osman Gasanbekov 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.

In brief
