Anger at DIFAI Agsu spills outside the ground
It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Şirin Şirinov damages knee ligaments — 45 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 45 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Wesley Bolinha 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 DIFAI Agsu can pretend not to have heard.

Əli Nəcəfli says DIFAI Agsu 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.

Both of them Gabriel Chagas's — 8.16
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.16, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Graduation day at DIFAI Agsu
5 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.

Mingachevir tell DIFAI Agsu: Michele Cirasella 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.

A row about effort at DIFAI Agsu
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Julio César was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
