The Tver Courier
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Both of them Kirill Dudkin's — 8.14
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.14, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
Squad14 Sep 2026
6 saves: Nikita Lyutikov was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.
Boardroom14 Sep 2026
Tver close the window on a squad of their own making
10 in and 1 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.
Match12 Sep 2026
Saturn take the points off Tver
Beaten 3‑4, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Match12 Sep 2026
Kirill Dudkin among the goals in a wild afternoon
7 goals in one match, Kirill Dudkin on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Tver and Saturn.
Transfer targets14 Sep 2026
Amkar tell Tver: Tikhon Nazarov is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
The terraces14 Sep 2026
One of their own: Kirill Dudkin
He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
Transfer targets14 Sep 2026
The window shuts on the Maxim Chaykovsky deal
Tver ran out of time with Irtysh. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
The manager makes an example of Daniil Sokolov
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
In brief
- Squad Fedor Shestakov signs a new deal
- Loan watch Islam Zangiev wants to come home
- The dugout Prokhor Medvedev: “No excuses”
