The Saturn Chronicle

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match

Saturn run riot against Yenisey 2

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Maxim Kunskiy

Successful dribbles: 30. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Maxim Sedov pops up at the right end — 6.99

6.99, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Player ratings

Orts Tsechoev goes up and wins it — 7.96

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.96 for the rest of it.

Squad

Maxim Sedov signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Maxim Sedov and Saturn agree another 4 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Saturn

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

Squad

A row about effort at Saturn

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

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Orts Tsechoev

At 22 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.

Match

Maxim Sedov at the heart of a fast Saturn start

2 goals inside twenty minutes with Maxim Sedov in the middle of it, and Yenisey 2 unable to get near the ball long enough to change anything. Some matches are won before the first drink.

In brief
