Player ratings

Nobody could get near Oleksandr Yushchenko

Successful dribbles: 31. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Ihor Huk: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Probiy have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match

The wait goes on for Probiy

4 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Probiy

Andrii Bliznichenko 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.

Match

Metalist take the points off Probiy

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Nazar Havryliuk

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Oleksandr Yushchenko

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Andrii Bliznichenko 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 Probiy this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Stanislav Demkiv 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

Nyva take the points off Probiy

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Bohdan Dryhan out for 35 days

The medical room confirms 35 days on the sidelines for Bohdan Dryhan, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Allan Vitor knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Allan Vitor trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

Probiy say no — this time

The offer from Nyva for Volodymyr Ivanychuk 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

Patryk Nowakowski signs on for more

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

Squad

Roman Bilyi 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 Probiy this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Maksym Kovalenko

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

Player ratings

A masterclass from Andrii Bliznichenko

Marked 8.36 — 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.

Market

Still no ink between Probiy and Stanislav Demkiv

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Probiy, another week without a signature from Stanislav Demkiv.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Bohdan Dryhan

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

A long bet from Probiy on Wiktor Benedyktowicz

He is 20, and nobody at Probiy signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Market

Probiy sign Jean Galindo, one for the future

Jean Galindo is 20, and Probiy have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

In brief
