Squad

Tempers go at Stumbras

Saulius Barauskas 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.

Loan watch

Arnas Cernych has seen enough of Kauno Zalgiris

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Stumbras, and 0 appearances in 13 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

No hiding place for Fiodor Lasickas

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

Squad

Nahuel Arias pulls a muscle — 16 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 16 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Squad

Marius Eliosius 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 Stumbras this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Stumbras training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Saulius Barauskas 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

Paulius Novikovas 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 Stumbras can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at Stumbras

Vykintas Eliosius 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

Nahuel Arias 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.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Tomas Švedkauskas is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Tomas Švedkauskas: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match

Cup progress for Kauno Zalgiris

A 1‑1 win over Trakai, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Market

Kauno Zalgiris turn down Atlantas for Valdas Paulauskas

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Oyinlola Kayode 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 Kauno Zalgiris, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Fabien Ourega

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Only the photograph left for Oyinlola Kayode

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Oyinlola Kayode will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Kauno Zalgiris the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Boardroom

Kauno Zalgiris to lose Oyinlola Kayode for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Oyinlola Kayode has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad

Damjan Pavlović 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 Kauno Zalgiris this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Kauno Zalgiris training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Fedor Černych 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.
