Squad24 May 2027

Words at Dnepr Mogilev training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Fedor Yurkevich 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.

“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.

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

10 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Dnepr Mogilev is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Egor Karpitskiy 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.

Makar Litskevich: 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.” Dnepr Mogilev have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Add another name to the list: Niva have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Daniil Zhabrakov. The answer from Dnepr Mogilev has not changed — yet.

The manager makes an example of Egor Karpitskiy
“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.

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Defensive actions: 17, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.
