Squad

Words exchanged at Lernayin Artsakh

Guilherme Beléa and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Gabriel Biteco 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

Isaías Sierra is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Isaías Sierra has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Squad

Lernayin Artsakh are still strangers to each other

5 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Market

Campanelli told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Campanelli has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Lernayin Artsakh.

Market

Talks stall between Lernayin Artsakh and Arsen Galstyan

“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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Marek Rehák

“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.

Looking ahead

Arsen Galstyan faces his old club

Bentonit Ijevan next, and one man in the Lernayin Artsakh dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

The dugout

Samvel Sargsyan 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 Samvel Sargsyan has written the date down.

Boardroom

Lernayin Artsakh put Interim Coach on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Boardroom

Crisis meeting at Lernayin Artsakh

The official line will be that it was routine. It was not routine, the timing says so, and every person in that room knows what the next bad result costs.

Market

Artem Salygo 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 Lernayin Artsakh can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom

Window shuts: 2 in, 2 out at Lernayin Artsakh

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 2 arrived, 2 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Squad

Tempers go at Lernayin Artsakh

Guilherme Beléa 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

Elçin Əlicanov 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

Campanelli signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Campanelli commits to Lernayin Artsakh for another 1 years.

Squad

Erik Petrosyan slips down the pecking order

The demotion a club never announces and a dressing room always notices. Erik Petrosyan is further from the side than he was, and the reason will not be given until he asks.

The dugout

Gabriel Biteco without the man who signed him

Every squad is half players the manager chose and half players he inherited. Gabriel Biteco was chosen, the man who chose him has gone, and he starts again from nothing under the next one.

In brief
