Squad

Silver Teniste damages knee ligaments — 79 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 79 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.

Market

Rauno Ainsalu 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 Sillamae Kalev can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Jonathan Valdivia 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

Tempers go at Sillamae Kalev

Joonas Pikk 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.

Market

Nomme Kalju watching Hendrik Kallaste

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Sillamae Kalev have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

When it matters, Vlasi Kait 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

Silver Teniste damages knee ligaments — 128 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 128 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

Words at Sillamae Kalev training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yevhen Opanasenko 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

Joonas Pikk 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 Sillamae Kalev this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Taijo Vassiljev breaks a bone — 38 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 38 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Tempers go at Sillamae Kalev

Timi Lahti 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.

Match

Cup progress for Sillamae Kalev

A 1‑0 win over Levadia, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Market

Taijo 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 Sillamae Kalev, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Joonas Pikk 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 Vlasi Dmitrijev at his very best

Marked 8.18. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Sillamae Kalev.

Squad

Jonathan Valdivia has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Sillamae Kalev know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Sander Igonen

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Oliver Valakari is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Sillamae Kalev has been clear about where Oliver Valakari stands, which is more than many ever get.
