Market

Maxim Mitskevich asks to leave Nart

“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.

Squad

A falling-out at Nart

Gamzat Khizriev and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

A muscle injury sidelines Maxim Mitskevich for 16 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Nart will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Stanislav Smolnikov

Nart asked and Krasnodar said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Words at Nart training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nikita Tsyganov 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.

Boardroom

231% of the income goes out in wages at Nart

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Market

Bulat Vatsuev is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Nart has been clear about where Bulat Vatsuev stands, which is more than many ever get.

The dugout

Valentin Bocharov frozen out at Nart

This is not rotation. Valentin Bocharov has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Nart is pretending otherwise.

Squad

Viktor Kudryavtsev out for 23 days

The medical room confirms 23 days on the sidelines for Viktor Kudryavtsev, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The terraces

Anger at Nart 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.

Market

Leo Makatta is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Nart is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Words exchanged at Nart

Gamzat Khizriev 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Dmitry Emelyanov

Nart asked and Krasnodar said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Prokhor Biryukov steps up from the Nart academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Prokhor Biryukov has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

One of our own: Viktor Kudryavtsev joins the Nart first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Viktor Kudryavtsev is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Bogdan Mamaev steps up from the Nart academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Bogdan Mamaev has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Match

Late, late show earns Nart a point

Minute 88, against Torpedo Miass, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.

Match

Vitaliy Ovchinnikov rescues a point for Nart

It needed Vitaliy Ovchinnikov to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Torpedo Miass, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.
