Market

Egor Imeryakov agrees terms with Lokomotiv Gomel

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Molodechno people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Match

Molodechno run riot against Slutsk

4‑0, 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

Both of them Bogdan Levchenko's — 8.50

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.50, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

Ivan Sanko stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Nikolay Leshkevich yet — 8.19

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.19 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Player ratings

Maxim Yablonskiy pops up at the right end — 7.98

7.98, 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.

Boardroom

Window shuts: 24 in, 0 out at Molodechno

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 24 arrived, 0 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Squad

Tempers go at Molodechno

Maxim Yablonskiy 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Ihar Noyok

Molodechno asked and Volna Pinsk said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Ilya Koval asks to leave Molodechno

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Danila Tretyak keeps Molodechno in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Transfer targets

Nikolay Leshkevich due for a Molodechno medical

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

Squad

Maxim Yablonskiy signs on for more

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Molodechno

Maxim Yablonskiy 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.

Squad

Words at Molodechno training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yassine Bara 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Molodechno against Gomel

0‑2 to Gomel, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Yassine Bara

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Molodechno and Ivan Sanko are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
