Squad

Sandro Shugladze damages knee ligaments — 94 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 94 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Kauê Kraus gets the move he always wanted

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

Squad

Moisés out for 18 days

The medical room confirms 18 days on the sidelines for Moisés, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

A falling-out at Sapovnela

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

The dugout

Levan Shengelia 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

Talks stall between Sapovnela and Kauê Kraus

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

The knee: Sandro Shugladze out for 131 days

131 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Sapovnela lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market

Davit Ananidze puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Sapovnela, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Sapovnela

A 1‑4 beating by Merani was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad

Rafael Broetto 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.

Market

Terms done: Goga Kobiashvili is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Shukura waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Sapovnela is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Match

The wait goes on for Sapovnela

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Market

Sapovnela say no — this time

The offer from Shukura for Temur Ananidze was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Moisés 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 Sapovnela this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Alan Cisnero

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

The dugout

Douglas Dias 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Gustavo Silva

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