Match

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.

Match

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.

Market

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.

Squad

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.

Player ratings

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.

Player ratings

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 dugout

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.

Match

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.

The dugout

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.

Match

Chertanovo are in real trouble now

Position 14, 6 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.

Market

Alexey Osipov puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Chertanovo, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Chertanovo lose Ivan Polyakov

48 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Match

The wait goes on for Chertanovo

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match

The goals have deserted Chertanovo

4 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Chertanovo can tell you which week it ends in.

Squad

Tempers go at Chertanovo

Mikhail Ulyanov was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Zakhar Svetov was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 21. 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.

Squad

Words at Chertanovo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ivan Polyakov 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.

Match

Chertanovo come up short against Kolomna

Kolomna left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
