Squad

Tempers go at Spartaks

Nikita Rugins 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

When it matters, Marcis Cauna plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad

The manager plants his flag on Aleksandrs Vanins

“Judge me on him.” Managers do not say that kind of thing by accident — it moves the pressure from Aleksandrs Vanins’s shoulders onto his own, and both of them know it.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match

Spartaks march on in the cup

Jelgava are out and Spartaks go through, 4‑3 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings

A debut Olegs Tarasovs will not forget — 7.77

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.77 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Match

Cruel end for Jelgava as Spartaks pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Spartaks scored in the 92th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Kaspars Stolcers

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Spartaks

German Okulov 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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Olegs Tarasovs

At 19 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Aleksandrs Vanins

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

Davis Cauna was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.06. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

Words at Spartaks training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kaspars Stolcers 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.
