Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Dmitri Aliyev

23 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Dinamo Vologda lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

Roman Anikeev stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market

Nikita Krivoruchko asks to leave Dinamo Vologda

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The dugout

Gleb Gusev says Dinamo Vologda 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.

Squad

Dinamo Vologda count the cost of losing Anton Betyuzhnov

15 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Tempers go at Dinamo Vologda

Danila Yezhkov 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.

Boardroom

The owner puts $64.7K into Dinamo Vologda

This is money that keeps the lights on rather than money that buys a centre-half, and the difference is the whole story. A club funded by its owner rather than by its football has exactly one conversation left ahead of it.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Roman Anikeev

At 23 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.

Boardroom

Dinamo Vologda are $4.2M in the red

The borrowing is past what the bank agreed, which is the line where a debt stops being how football is financed and starts being a problem. Every phone-in in this town will quote the figure for the next five years.

Squad

Dmitri Aliyev damages knee ligaments — 30 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 30 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.

Player ratings

Vladislav Kravtsov, 21, steals the show — 7.78

Marked 7.78 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Match

Dinamo Vologda make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Dinamo Vologda have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Dinamo Vologda

Danila Yezhkov 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.

Squad

Vladislav Kravtsov is the real thing at 21

A season average of 7.00 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. Dinamo Vologda know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.

Squad

Danila Kalin 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.

Boardroom

Wages eat 247% of everything Dinamo Vologda earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Vladislav Kravtsov

At 21 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.

Match

Vladislav Kravtsov the difference as Dinamo Vologda beat Torpedo Miass

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Vladislav Kravtsov. 1‑0 against Torpedo Miass, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.
