Only the photograph left for Anton Suchkov
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Anton Suchkov will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Neman the goodbyes have quietly begun.

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Neman this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

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

Tempers go at Neman
Mikhail Gordeychuk 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.

Crisis
Market14 Sep 2026
“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.
Market14 Sep 2026
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Neman is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Molodechno come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Neman did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

4 matches without a win for Neman
The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Neman are no longer polite ones.

The name of Artur Nazarenko has come up in conversations Neman were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
Match12 Sep 2026
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

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

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Successful dribbles: 45. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Kirill Veidyger: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.
Match19 Aug 2026
Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Mateush Montevka obliged against Slutsk. 1‑1 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Neman.

Neman say no — this time
The offer from Dnepr Mogilev for Anton Suchkov 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.

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 23 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Neman have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Neman they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

16 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Maxim Autko has left for Isloch in a $14.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Nikita Matysyuk and Neman agree another 4 years.
