Marked for Dmitry Samsonov

Squad19 Jun 2034

A fracture rules Roman Surmiy out for 92 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Cherepovets will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market19 Jun 2034

Dmitry Samsonov 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 Cherepovets can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets19 Jun 2034

Aleksandr Zotkin due for a Cherepovets medical

Everything agreed with Akhmat Grozny, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad19 Jun 2034

Words exchanged at Cherepovets

Alexandr Mironov 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.

Squad19 Jun 2034

Frank Tsadjout falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Transfer targets19 Jun 2034

Amkar tell Cherepovets: Aleksa Stanisavljevic 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.

Squad19 Jun 2034

The decline has begun for Anatoly Demidov

Everybody saw it before anybody said it. At 33 the numbers say 3 points down on what he was, and the question for Cherepovets is how to handle a man they owe a great deal.

Boardroom19 Jun 2034

Cherepovets cannot sign anybody

The embargo bars a fee being paid for a player, whatever the manager thinks the squad needs. Every rumour printed about this club between now and its lifting is a rumour about a deal that cannot happen.

The dugout19 Jun 2034

No hiding place for Elias Reaney

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Elias Reaney, and the manager let it.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad27 Mar 2034

23 days out for Artem Demagin after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Cherepovets will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad27 Mar 2034

Tempers go at Cherepovets

Yaser Alo Ali 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.

Squad27 Mar 2034

Words at Cherepovets training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Frank Tsadjout 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.

Boardroom27 Mar 2034

Embargo at Cherepovets

No fees may be paid for anybody, whatever the squad needs. Every rumour about this club until it lifts is a rumour about a deal that cannot be done.

The dugout27 Mar 2034

Yaser Alo Ali gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Yaser Alo Ali is on it.

The dugout27 Mar 2034

Artem Karpekin knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Artem Karpekin trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout27 Mar 2034

The manager makes an example of Dmitry Mironov

“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.

Market27 Mar 2034

The Artem Karpekin talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Cherepovets know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout27 Mar 2034

The manager makes Vsevolod Buradjiev a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Cherepovets. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.
