Marked for Rivaldo Coetzee

Match

10 unbeaten for Dinamo Moscow

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 10 matches without defeat is a foundation Dinamo Moscow did not have in the autumn.

Squad

Words at Dinamo Moscow training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Anton Miranchuk 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.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Anton Miranchuk

Marked 8.01 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad

Rivaldo Coetzee 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 Dinamo Moscow this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Dinamo Moscow

6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Squad

El Mehdi Maouhoub 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.

Match

Dinamo Moscow and CSKA Moscow take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Player ratings

Bitello runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Arthur Gomes ran the game

Chances created: 4. Not on the scoresheet and not remotely anonymous — a passing performance that pulled a defence apart without leaving a mark on the column that gets read.

The Dinamo Moscow 2 Post

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

Dinamo Moscow 2 are in real trouble now

Position 10, 4 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Match

6 matches without a win for Dinamo Moscow 2

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Dinamo Moscow 2 are no longer polite ones.

Match

6 matches without a goal for Dinamo Moscow 2

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 6 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad

Words at Dinamo Moscow 2 training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dmitry Alexandrov 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Leon Zaidenzal

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

Match

A bad afternoon for Dinamo Moscow 2 against Volgar

0‑1 to Volgar, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Tempers go at Dinamo Moscow 2

Rivaldo Coetzee 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.

Squad

Maxim Balakhonov named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Maxim Balakhonov is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Market

Still no ink between Dinamo Moscow 2 and Georgy Tikhomirov

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Dinamo Moscow 2, another week without a signature from Georgy Tikhomirov.
