The Chertanovo Herald
Match17 Oct 2026
No end in sight to Chertanovo's wait for a win
6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Chertanovo has to find a result from somewhere.
Match17 Oct 2026
Chertanovo cannot find the net
6 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Alexey Osipov is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Chertanovo is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Words exchanged at Chertanovo
Rodolfo Cardoso 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.

Nobody on the pitch touched Vladimir Bartasevich
7.30, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Chertanovo had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Mikhail Ulyanov was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 14. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Mark Rakov was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Chertanovo dressing room was either.
Match17 Oct 2026
Chertanovo and Irkutsk cancel each other out
Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Irkutsk came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

No place in the plan for Vladislav Korbut
The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
In brief
- The dugout Artem Selyukov has become a man the manager trusts
- The dugout Alexey Osipov asks for a word with the manager
- Squad Zakhar Svetov speaks, and the room listens
