Batxi beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 37. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market25 Jan 2027

Krasnodar say no — this time

The offer from Fenerbahce for Stanislav Agkatsev was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market25 Jan 2027

Lucas Olaza hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Krasnodar can pretend not to have heard.

Market25 Jan 2027

Only the photograph left for Dmitry Pivovarov

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Dmitry Pivovarov will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Krasnodar the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Match23 Jan 2027

A bad afternoon for Krasnodar against Akhmat

0‑1 to Akhmat, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Loan watch25 Jan 2027

11 goals on loan for Gustavo Santos

22 appearances at Volos NPS and the goals keep coming. Krasnodar are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Daniil Kozlovsky to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

Batxi has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Krasnodar will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Vyacheslav Knyazev 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 Krasnodar this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Both of them Jhon Córdoba's — 9.05

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.05, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market18 Jan 2027

Diosgyor come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Krasnodar did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Words exchanged at Krasnodar

Alexandr Chernikov 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.

Match16 Jan 2027

Jhon Córdoba the difference as Krasnodar beat Sochi

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Jhon Córdoba. 2‑1 against Sochi, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Kirill Yefimov steps up from the Krasnodar academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Kirill Yefimov 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.

One of our own: Vyacheslav Knyazev joins the Krasnodar first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Vyacheslav Knyazev is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Krasnodar promote Matvey Abramov from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Matvey Abramov 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.

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Batxi was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 15. 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 dugout18 Jan 2027

A satisfied Daniil Kozlovsky

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 2‑1, Daniil Kozlovsky could afford to be generous.
