Market

Igor Tymonyuk has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Lida they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Alexey Legchilin 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 Lida this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Lida training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Germán Rodríguez Rojas 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.

Market

Alexandr Puzach has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Lida they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Lida count the cost of losing Ivan Sanko

19 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Tempers go at Lida

Alexey Legchilin 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.

Market

Only the photograph left for Igor Tymonyuk

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Igor Tymonyuk will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Lida the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Player ratings

A goal and an assist for Manuel Olaya — 7.55

Involvement in 2 goals, from a player who spent the ninety minutes doing the thing a manager actually wants: being where the ball was going to end up. 7.55 beside his name.

Match

Volna Pinsk take the points off Lida

Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Manuel Olaya 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Lida

Igor Tymonyuk 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

No hiding place for Alexandr Poznyak

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

Player ratings

Alexey Chernodarov 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.

Squad

Mathieu Cornet asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

The clock does Alexandr Poznyak’s negotiating for him

3 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Lida could ask drops and the wages Alexandr Poznyak can ask rise.
