From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Lassi Forss 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 The request is on a desk at JIPPO, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

4 matches without a win for JIPPO

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around JIPPO are no longer polite ones.

Squad

A falling-out at JIPPO

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

Boardroom

JIPPO ask Dinamo Kirov the expensive question

The target is Konstantin Serov, the approach is real, and the compensation clause is the whole conversation. Clubs deny this kind of story right up until the photograph.

Match

JIPPO come up short against SJK Akatemia

SJK Akatemia left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

Both jobs done by Suren Hagop — 6.57

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 11 actions, 6.57, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Squad

A row about effort at JIPPO

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

The dugout

Eero Lam faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Eero Lam after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout

No hiding place for Pharez Pöllänen

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

In brief
