The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Olexandr Batischev 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 Slavia Mozyr this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

No hiding place for Artem Sadchenko
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Artem Sadchenko, and the manager let it.

Kirill Chernook has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Slavia Mozyr 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.

A season on the outside for Ümit Akdağ
He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Slavia Mozyr has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

Anatoliy Yarmolich has had enough of the bench
“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and Slavia Mozyr will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.
