Squad

Hendrik Mets breaks a bone — 129 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 129 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Joonas Pikk has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Levadia 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

Nikita Vassiljev keeps his manager's vote

The message was aimed at the stands as much as the dressing room: Nikita Vassiljev plays, and the argument is closed until the manager decides otherwise.

Squad

Ken Baranov damages knee ligaments — 85 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 85 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.

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

A knee injury of the worst kind for Ken Baranov

116 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Levadia

Joonas Antonov 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

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.
