Market

Atlantas come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Trakai did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Darius Mikoliunas 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 Trakai can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at Trakai

Vikintas Cernych 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

Words at Trakai training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nikita Kaplenko 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.

Market

Aidas Vaitkunas attracts admirers

The name of Aidas Vaitkunas has come up in conversations Trakai were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

When it matters, Edvinas Eliosius plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Match

The small margins put Trakai out

Out, 0‑3 to Suduva, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

The terraces

Trakai are taken apart by Suduva — and the town wants answers

It finished 0-3. A cup exit is a disappointment; this was a public dismantling, and the difference between the two is the number of people who will still be talking about it in August.

Atlantas watching Fiodor Dubickas

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

Squad

Words at Trakai training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tadas Lasickas 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.

Squad

Vikintas Cernych in a row with a teammate

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

Squad

The manager makes an example of Marius Eliosius

“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.

Boardroom

Doors closed at Trakai

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Squad

Linas Paulauskas stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Linas Paulauskas and Trakai agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
