Market

Gleb Zakharov has said yes to Torpedo Vladimir

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Tyumen have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Player ratings

Vitaly Shitov was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 22. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Transfer targets

Door shut on David Kokoev

Tyumen asked and Metallurg 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

Pavel Shakuro in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Tyumen this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Daniil Kamlashev

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.

Market

Dmitry Zaitsev steps up from the Tyumen academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Dmitry Zaitsev 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: Arseniy Terekhov joins the Tyumen first team

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

Market

Tyumen promote Pyotr Chistov from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Pyotr Chistov has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Match

Vladlen Babaev sends Tyumen past Dinamo Kirov

It finished 1‑0, and it was Vladlen Babaev’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Tyumen.

Player ratings

Vitaly Shitov beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 31. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

A career in one shirt: Alexandr Bem

10 seasons and 183 appearances, all of them here. Careers like this are not designed; they happen to a certain kind of man at a certain kind of club, and this town has one.

Squad

Vladlen Babaev stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Vladlen Babaev and Tyumen agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

A falling-out at Tyumen

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

Match

Sibir take the points off Tyumen

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Nikita Yanovich

“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.

Squad

A row about effort at Tyumen

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Ivan Chudin was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market

Tyumen and Vladlen Babaev are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

The dugout

Artem Zinovyev answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

In brief
