Marked for Ivan Martynov

Squad9 Oct 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Ivan Martynov

18 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Obolon lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad9 Oct 2028

Pavlo Polehenko signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Pavlo Polehenko and Obolon agree another 2 years.

Squad9 Oct 2028

Tempers go at Obolon

Henrique Trevisan 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.

Squad9 Oct 2028

No hiding place for Denys Ustymenko

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

Player ratings9 Oct 2028

Kostiantyn Bychek takes the honours

Marked 7.83 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Obolon had the best player on the pitch.

Loan watch9 Oct 2028

Denys Marchenko has seen enough of Famalicao

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Obolon, and 0 appearances in 13 say he has earned the hearing.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Ivan Martynov

25 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Obolon lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad2 Oct 2028

Yevhenii Shevchenko has been here 8 seasons

229 appearances across 8 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Squad2 Oct 2028

Pavlo Polehenko stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Pavlo Polehenko and Obolon agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad2 Oct 2028

Henrique Trevisan 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 Obolon this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings2 Oct 2028

Artem Kulakovskyi was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.66. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Player ratings2 Oct 2028

A masterclass from Denys Tesliuk

Marked 8.24 — 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.

Squad25 Sep 2028

Ivan Martynov damages knee ligaments — 33 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 33 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.

Match25 Sep 2028

Obolon are in among the leaders

Position 2 and 16 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Tempers go at Obolon

Henrique Trevisan 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.

Kostiantyn Bychek runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad25 Sep 2028

Denys Tesliuk 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.

Squad25 Sep 2028

Pavlo Polehenko 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.
