Squad9 Apr 2029

Oleksandr Bieliaiev 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 Kudrivka this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout9 Apr 2029

Alban Taipi frozen out at Kudrivka

This is not rotation. Alban Taipi has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Kudrivka is pretending otherwise.

Squad9 Apr 2029

Words at Kudrivka training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gabriel Eskinja 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.

Market9 Apr 2029

Kudrivka and Gabriel Eskinja 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.

The dugout9 Apr 2029

Dmytro Semenov knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Kudrivka, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout9 Apr 2029

The manager has not finished forgetting Anton Yashkov's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

The dugout9 Apr 2029

The manager makes an example of Sem Versavel

“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.

Market9 Apr 2029

The Denys Svitiukha talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Kudrivka know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad9 Apr 2029

“I want to play”: Sem Versavel speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout16 Oct 2028

Oleksandr Kornienko: 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.” Kudrivka have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad16 Oct 2028

A falling-out at Kudrivka

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

Squad16 Oct 2028

Artem Macheliuk 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.

Squad16 Oct 2028

Sem Versavel wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Kudrivka know it.

Squad16 Oct 2028

Kudrivka are still strangers to each other

5 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout16 Oct 2028

No hiding place for Alban Taipi

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

The dugout16 Oct 2028

Denys Svitiukha has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Kudrivka will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Looking ahead16 Oct 2028

Oleksandr Domoleha faces his old club

Podillia next, and one man in the Kudrivka dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

The dugout16 Oct 2028

Rodion Plaksa knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Kudrivka, and both men came out saying it was fine.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Transfer targets21 Aug 2028

An offer of $1.5M for Taras Mykhavko

Kudrivka have gone to Dynamo Kyiv with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Match19 Aug 2028

Nobody wins at Kudrivka

11 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Transfer targets21 Aug 2028

No thanks: Vladyslav Herych rejects the move

Kudrivka had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Dynamo Kyiv, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Match19 Aug 2028

Nobody wants to play Kudrivka right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Oleksandr Bieliaiev 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 Kudrivka this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match19 Aug 2028

Denys Svitiukha sends Kudrivka past Probiy

It finished 1‑0, and it was Denys Svitiukha’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Kudrivka.

The dugout21 Aug 2028

The manager makes an example of Myroslav Serdiuk

“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.

Transfer targets21 Aug 2028

Kudrivka ask about Vasyl Kravets

A loan enquiry to Zorya: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
