Squad

A fracture rules Olexandr Batischev out for 131 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Slavia Mozyr will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

Cup progress for Slavia Mozyr

A 2‑0 win over Niva, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Market

Alexandr Dzhigero hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Slavia Mozyr can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Maxim Kalabus, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.95

A mark of 7.95 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Andrey Solovey 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.

Squad

Pavel Pampukha 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.

Match

Vitebsk take the points off Slavia Mozyr

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market

Evgeniy Shevchenko told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Evgeniy Shevchenko has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Slavia Mozyr.

Squad

Anton Lukashov 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.

Squad

A fracture rules Olexandr Batischev out for 138 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Slavia Mozyr will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

The terraces

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 7 of the 31 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Squad

Mikhail Sachkovskiy says Slavia Mozyr went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Maxim Kalabus is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Words at Slavia Mozyr training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Eirik Brekke 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Slavia Mozyr against Torpedo-BelAZ

0‑1 to Torpedo-BelAZ, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Alexey Antilevskiy

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Valeriy Senko could not find anything

5.48. Every footballer has these and most of them happen away from a full ground; his did not, and he will be aware of that all week.

Player ratings

A day to forget for Dmitriy Vashkevich

Marked 5.46, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Maxim Kalabus at 19 — 7.81

The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Maxim Kalabus did not need any: 7.81, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Match

Whatever happens, Slavia Mozyr do not lose

7 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad

Patrik Vydra 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.

The terraces

Slavia Mozyr supporters have found a favourite in Maxim Kalabus

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 19-year-old it feels ownership of. Maxim Kalabus has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Ilya Verenich the difference as Slavia Mozyr beat Naftan

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Ilya Verenich. 2‑0 against Naftan, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

Brage Kvithyld 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.

Squad

Kirill Chernook 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Alexey Antilevskiy

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

Market

Talks stall between Slavia Mozyr and Vitaliy Urbanovich

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
