Match30 Dec 2030

Tobol are in among the leaders

Position 2 and 46 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Squad30 Dec 2030

Words exchanged at Tobol

Edmilson 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.

Squad30 Dec 2030

Antonio Boršić 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.

The dugout30 Dec 2030

No hiding place for Shahzod Akramov

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

Squad30 Dec 2030

Orin Reinat wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Tobol know it.

The dugout30 Dec 2030

Artem Litosh 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 Artem Litosh is on it.

Market16 Dec 2030

Bağdat Qaiyrov is on his way

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

Squad16 Dec 2030

Edmilson 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 Tobol this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad16 Dec 2030

A row about effort at Tobol

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

The dugout16 Dec 2030

Zhasūlan Zhūmashev 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 Zhasūlan Zhūmashev is on it.

The dugout16 Dec 2030

Zhasūlan Zhūmashev 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 Zhasūlan Zhūmashev trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market16 Dec 2030

No place for Viktor Ziabko in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Viktor Ziabko has his answer from Tobol; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Squad16 Dec 2030

Danilo Pejić still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Tobol would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

Market16 Dec 2030

Shahzod Akramov runs his contract down

6 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Tobol money.

Boardroom16 Dec 2030

The Tobol academy earns its keep

53 graduates, from a department now rated 9 out of 20. Nothing about the academy appears in a result, and nothing about the club’s future exists without it.

Boardroom26 Nov 2029

Tobol are in Europe

Qualification is done, and next season the floodlights come on for something bigger. A stage for the players, oxygen for the accounts and a passport for everybody else.

Squad26 Nov 2029

Shahzod Turopov breaks a bone — 110 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 110 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market26 Nov 2029

Zhasūlan Zhūmashev is on his way

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

Squad26 Nov 2029

Mohammed Ensebaev gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Mohammed Ensebaev has just signed for Tobol, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad26 Nov 2029

Tempers go at Tobol

Askhat Tağybergen 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.

Squad26 Nov 2029

Words at Tobol training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Antonio Boršić 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.

Boardroom26 Nov 2029

Tobol beat the market to Ivan Bašić from Kairat

Kairat will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Ivan Bašić has pre-agreed a move to Tobol, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

The dugout26 Nov 2029

Viacheslav Tankovskyi gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout26 Nov 2029

Marko Vukčević has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Tobol will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
