Nobody could get near Maxim Khramtsov

Successful dribbles: 40. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match22 Aug 2026

Rotor taken apart

0‑3 to Shinnik, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Lukas Ramil Sauer due for a Rotor medical

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

Squad24 Aug 2026

Irakly Manelov 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 Rotor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Artem Simonyan 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 targets24 Aug 2026

Dinamo Zagreb tell Rotor: Fran Topić 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.

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

Doors closed at Rotor

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

Stepan Markov: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑3, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Rotor try to borrow Sotiris Kontouris

Panathinaikos have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Market17 Aug 2026

Rotor 2 say no — this time

The offer from Nart for Nikita Plotnikov was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Rotor 2

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

The terraces17 Aug 2026

One of their own: Sergey Prokofjev

He is 20 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Nikita Plotnikov was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 19. 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.

Match15 Aug 2026

Rotor 2 see off Kvant

Three points for Rotor 2, 1‑0 the final word against Kvant in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Maxim Khramtsov in the eights

A performance of 8.07 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Evgeny Ostrovsky, on a 1‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Timofey Falchenko left out for tactical reasons at Rotor 2

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Maxim Maltsev knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Rotor 2, and both men came out saying it was fine.
