From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Kaspars Oss

18 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.

Market

Kristaps Tarasovs hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Ventspils can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Words at Ventspils training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jesús Molina 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

Yilber Aponzá 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.

Loan watch

Alvis Vanins 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 21 matches say the rest.

Squad

Alvis Stolcers signs on for more

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

In brief

  • Market Metta/LU are about to pick up the phone
  • Market Gatis Oss told to find a new club

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Gatis Oss

18 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.

Market

Kristaps Tarasovs 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.

Match

8 matches without a win for Ventspils

The run now stands at 8, and the questions being asked around Ventspils are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Ventspils

Jesús Molina 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

Jesús Molina 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.

Squad

Yilber Aponzá 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.

Loan watch

Alvis Vanins counts the days

“I watch every Ventspils game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Daugavpils runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Match

Point won or two lost for Ventspils?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Metta/LU? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Player ratings

Pavels Savalnieks runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 11. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Gatis Oss

25 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

A one-man rearguard from Pavels Zjuzins

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

No end in sight to Ventspils's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Ventspils has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Cheikh Mbacke Diop 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. Pavels Bulvitis 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.

Match

Ventspils share the spoils with Daugavpils

A 1‑1 draw with Daugavpils leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Gatis Oss

32 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.

Market

Vitalijs Laizans hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Ventspils can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Eduards Dubra: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Ventspils have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
