Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Ken Klavan

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

Match

Levadia through in the cup

A 2‑1 win over Nomme Kalju, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near César Medina

Successful dribbles: 29. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Artur Pikk yet — 7.98

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.98 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market

Konstantin Mets 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 The request is on a desk at Levadia, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

César Medina 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

5 new faces, and Levadia are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad

Levadia pick somebody else ahead of Hendrik Mets

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Market

Levadia put Hendrik Mets up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Hendrik Mets may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Artur Pikk

Successful dribbles: 43. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Ken Klavan damages knee ligaments — 43 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 43 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

Liliu Pikk sends Levadia through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Liliu Pikk obliged against Tammeka. 3‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Levadia.

Market

Levadia turn down Narva Trans for Erik Teniste

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

Player ratings

Age has not caught Liliu Pikk yet — 7.83

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.83 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market

Marek Kait 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 Levadia, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Words at Levadia training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. César Medina 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

Ken Baranov 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

Ninety minutes of Joonas Pikk at his very best

Marked 8.40. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Levadia.
