Marked for Simon Mignolet

The Zorya Courier

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad16 Aug 2027

Serhii Kameniev keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Zorya may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match14 Aug 2027

Nobody wants to play Zorya right now

4 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Tempers go at Zorya

Evertton Araújo 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.

Evertton Araújo was immovable

22 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Simon Mignolet gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Simon Mignolet has just signed for Zorya, and for once the answer mattered.

Words at Zorya training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jordan 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.

The terraces16 Aug 2027

The crowd has taken to Artem Slesar

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match14 Aug 2027

Artem Slesar the difference as Zorya beat Kolos

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Artem Slesar. 1‑0 against Kolos, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings16 Aug 2027

One of those days for Artem Slesar

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.32, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

The Mouscron Gazette

12 Jul 2027
From our football correspondent Steady

Squad12 Jul 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Eden Doku

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

Squad12 Jul 2027

Simon Mignolet says Mouscron went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market12 Jul 2027

Thomas Vanaken wants more than Mouscron are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.
