Market

Sillamae Kalev say no — this time

The offer from Nomme Kalju for Taijo Tamm was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Martin Zenjov asks to leave Sillamae Kalev

“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

Tempers go at Sillamae Kalev

Joonas Sorga 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

Still no ink between Sillamae Kalev and Sergey Melnik

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Sillamae Kalev, another week without a signature from Sergey Melnik.

Squad

Markus Mets has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Sillamae Kalev will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad

Ken Sappinen 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.

Match

Sillamae Kalev march on in the cup

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

Match

Cruel end for Flora as Sillamae Kalev pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Sillamae Kalev scored in the 94th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Market

Karl Kait asks to leave Sillamae Kalev

“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.

Match

Sillamae Kalev cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad

Words at Sillamae Kalev training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jairo Pérez 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

Joonas Sorga 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 Sillamae Kalev this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Sillamae Kalev are at home on the road

3 straight away victories. Sides that win away are usually sides that can defend and can counter, and the table has begun to reflect what those journeys have earned.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Markus Mets at his very best

Marked 8.11. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Sillamae Kalev.

Squad

Joonas Sorga gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings

Karl Kait runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 36. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Sillamae Kalev march on in the cup

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

Market

Flora come back empty-handed

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

Squad

Sergey Melnik out for 37 days

The medical room confirms 37 days on the sidelines for Sergey Melnik, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Tempers go at Sillamae Kalev

Taijo Tamm 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 Sillamae Kalev training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nicolas Gétaz 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.

Player ratings

Erik Vassiljev in the eights

A performance of 8.07 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Jairo Pérez has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Sillamae Kalev know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Market

No place for Martin Zenjov in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Martin Zenjov has his answer from Sillamae Kalev; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
