The Dnepr Mogilev Courier

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

Every point is an argument now for Dnepr Mogilev

Position 13 and 26 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market

Nikita Krasnov 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 Dnepr Mogilev can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Arsenal Dzerzhinsk come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Dnepr Mogilev did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Zanadin Fariz has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Dnepr Mogilev they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Tempers go at Dnepr Mogilev

Kirill Kirilenko 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

The Lokomotiv Gomel deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Vladislav Zaytsev reports back to Dnepr Mogilev with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

The Monopoli Gazette

6 Sep 2027
From our football correspondent Steady

Player ratings

Nothing got past Freddi Greco

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 24 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad

Cristian Battocchio 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 Monopoli this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Emanuele Scipioni runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Whatever happens, Monopoli do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Davide Bove

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 19 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Ruben Akalé

“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

Salvatore Longo leaves them behind him

Shots: 10. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

Match

No goals between Monopoli and Salernitana

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Salernitana will be the happier side with the point.

Squad

This league is too small for Kelvin Dongopandji

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Monopoli will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

In brief
