Squad

A falling-out at Kolos

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Anton Salabai

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

Squad

Vitalii Katrych 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

Vladyslav Saichyshyn signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Vladyslav Saichyshyn and Kolos agree another 3 years.

The dugout

Yurii Klymchuk 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 Kolos, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

The Artem Cheliadin question follows Kolos around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Artem Cheliadin’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout

Maksym Misanov gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Maksym Misanov is on it.

Market

The shop window has Elias Telles in it

Kolos have let the market know Elias Telles can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Market

Oleksandr Demchenko runs his contract down

7 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Kolos money.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout

Anton Salabai says Kolos 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.

Market

Dawid Polkowski asks to leave Kolos

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Artem Cheliadin 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 dugout

No hiding place for Dmytro Karavayev

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

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Artem Cheliadin’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout

Maksym Misanov gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Maksym Misanov is on it.

Boardroom

Kolos keep producing them

38 graduates from an academy now rated 7 out of 20. A club this size does not survive any other way, and every name on that list is known in the town.

The dugout

Elias Telles keeps his manager's vote

The message was aimed at the stands as much as the dressing room: Elias Telles plays, and the argument is closed until the manager decides otherwise.

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

Squad

Words at Kolos training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Artem Cheliadin 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.

Squad

Enoch Dzeble signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Enoch Dzeble and Kolos agree another 3 years.

Squad

Dawid Polkowski wants to finish where he started

Every long career reaches the week the player starts thinking about the last one. He would like it to be at the club that first put him on a pitch, and Kolos now know that too.

The dugout

Anton Salabai knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Anton Salabai trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad

A falling-out at Kolos

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

Squad

Dmytro Karavayev signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Dmytro Karavayev commits to Kolos for another 4 years.

The dugout

No hiding place for Dmytro Karavayev

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

Squad

A row about effort at Kolos

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Oleksii Bezruchuk was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

The formation has left Yehor Butenko behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Kolos will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Market

The Artem Cheliadin question follows Kolos around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Artem Cheliadin’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout

When it matters, Maksym Misanov plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout

Daniil Khrypchuk has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Daniil Khrypchuk has written the date down.

Market

Yehor Butenko joins Kolos on a free

No fee and no drama: Yehor Butenko has signed at Kolos, and the wage bill is the only line that moved.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Kolos

0‑3 against Polissia, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Market

Kolos say no — this time

The offer from Karpaty for Denys Ndukve was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets

Kolos agree $350.0K for Oleksandr Domoleha

The clubs have shaken hands with Dynamo Kyiv; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Market

Maksym Misanov puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Kolos, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Only the photograph left for Dawid Polkowski

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Dawid Polkowski will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Kolos the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Boardroom

Kolos to lose Dawid Polkowski for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Dawid Polkowski has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad

Artem Cheliadin signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Artem Cheliadin commits to Kolos for another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Kolos

Elias Telles 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.

Squad

Kyrylo Osypenko 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.
