The Nasaf Courier
Match3 Mar 2029
Bobur Abdiholiqov leads the rout of Kokand 1912
4‑0, and Bobur Abdiholiqov took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Nasaf tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.
Player ratings5 Mar 2029
Both of them Bobur Abdiholiqov's — 8.79
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.79, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
Player ratings5 Mar 2029
Murodbek Rahmatov pops up at the right end — 7.63
7.63, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.
The dugout5 Mar 2029
Luka Chikhladze says Nasaf 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.
Squad5 Mar 2029
Bobur Abdiholiqov stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Bobur Abdiholiqov and Nasaf agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Words exchanged at Nasaf
Alibek Davronov 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.

A move Ramin Abdullayev would have made for nothing
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Ramin Abdullayev is living that version at Nasaf, and it tends to show in the first month.
Boardroom5 Mar 2029
Graduation day at Nasaf
6 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
The terraces5 Mar 2029
The crowd has taken to Davronbek Usmonov
At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
