“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

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

Market24 Aug 2026
Ryazan come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Siauliai did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

“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 The request is on a desk at Siauliai, and it is not being withdrawn.

Successful dribbles: 75. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The cup run ends for Siauliai
0‑1 against Trakai, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Linas Paulauskas 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.

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

He is 18, and nobody at Siauliai signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Lukas Jankauskas and Siauliai agree another 3 years.

Edgaras Cernych 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.

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Vikintas Kazlauskas has his answer from Siauliai; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
Market17 Aug 2026
Siauliai have let the market know Deividas Kazlauskas can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.
