Marked for Rashid Yevloev

Uneasy
Market28 Sep 2026
“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 The request is on a desk at Slonim, and it is not being withdrawn.
Boardroom28 Sep 2026
The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Nikita Chuyko has agreed terms with Gomel for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.
Squad28 Sep 2026
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Slonim this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Uneasy
Market21 Sep 2026
The deal that would have taken Vladislav Zvyagov to Uni-X Labs has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Slonim with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Tempers go at Slonim
Dmitriy Vechorko 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.
Squad21 Sep 2026
No hiding place for Oleg Diva
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Oleg Diva, and the manager let it.

Crisis
Market24 Aug 2026
Vitaliy Para 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 Slonim can pretend not to have heard.
Market24 Aug 2026
Slonim say no — this time
The offer from Lokomotiv Gomel for Denis Miskevich 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.

Words at Slonim training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Roman Mushulov 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.
Match22 Aug 2026
Niva take the points off Slonim
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Squad24 Aug 2026
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Viktor Berg, and the manager let it.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Alexandr Chizh dropped after a run of poor form
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
4.99. 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 ratings24 Aug 2026
Marked 5.55, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

Squad10 Aug 2026
A move Rashid Yevloev would have made for nothing
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Rashid Yevloev is living that version at Slonim, and it tends to show in the first month.
The terraces10 Aug 2026
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Roman Mushulov 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.
Match8 Aug 2026
Three points for Slonim, 1‑0 the final word against Baranovichi in a contest settled by the finer margins.
Squad10 Aug 2026
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Egor Petrov, and the manager let it.
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
Marked 8.06 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
Market10 Aug 2026
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Slonim, another week without a signature from Zikrula Abdurakhmanov.
Market10 Aug 2026
48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
