Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Arturs Bulvitis

91 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Ventspils lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

Davis Dubra signs on for more

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

Squad

Aquiles Ocanto 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 Ventspils this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Ventspils training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Aquiles Ocanto 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

Tempers go at Ventspils

Vladimirs Fertovs 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

Aleksandrs Jurkovskis wants to come home

“I did not go to Daugavpils to sit and watch. I want to come back to Ventspils and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.

Match

Ventspils out of the cup

Jelgava ended it 2‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Squad

Raivis Rugins is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Raivis Rugins: 1 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Market

Aleksandrs Stolcers asks to leave Ventspils

“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.

Squad

Aquiles Ocanto 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Ventspils

Alvis Kamess 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

This league is too small for Deyair Reyes

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Ventspils will not keep him by pretending otherwise.
