Market

Lukas Girdvainis asks to leave Atlantas

“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

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

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

Squad

Tempers go at Atlantas

Darius Girdvainis 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

Stumbras take the points off Atlantas

Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Arvydas Novikovas 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

No hiding place for Vikintas Dubickas

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Vikintas Dubickas, and the manager let it.

Squad

Linas Cernych breaks a bone — 24 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 24 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Tempers go at Atlantas

Davis Dubra 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

Alvis Laizans out for 16 days

The medical room confirms 16 days on the sidelines for Alvis Laizans, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Atlantas

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Player ratings

Arvydas Novikovas runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Paulius Jankauskas steps up from the Atlantas academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Paulius Jankauskas has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Modestas Eliosius steps up from the Atlantas academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Modestas Eliosius has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Ignas Cernych joins the Atlantas first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Ignas Cernych is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Atlantas promote Aidas Jankauskas from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Aidas Jankauskas has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
