Match

Veles march on in the cup

Khimik are out and Veles go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Squad

Ilja Kuptsov stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market

Dmitry Biryukov 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 The request is on a desk at Veles, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Veles

Dmitry Sadov 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.

Market

A stepping stone, not a home, for Jeremiah Okine-Peters

He is doing his job and he is not settling. Veles were supposed to be a step up in his own reckoning, and his own reckoning has been adjusted since he arrived.

Match

Leningradets take the points off Veles

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

One of those days for Dmitry Sergeev

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.00, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

The dugout

Sergei Kurlov faces the questions

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

Market

Veles sign Vladimir Gomlenko, one for the future

Vladimir Gomlenko is 20, and Veles have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

In brief
