Market25 Sep 2028

Jiří Šplíchal asks to leave Zarya Lugansk

“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.

No sign of nerves from Ivan Spajić at 21 — 8.11

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Ivan Spajić did not need any: 8.11, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Match23 Sep 2028

Zarya Lugansk cannot stop winning

4 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Match23 Sep 2028

Zarya Lugansk find a way past Angusht

Angusht made Zarya Lugansk work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces25 Sep 2028

The crowd has taken to Ivan Spajić

At 21 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.

One of those days for Alexandros Kedikoglou

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.12, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad25 Sep 2028

A row about effort at Zarya Lugansk

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Alexandr Yegunov was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Boardroom25 Sep 2028

Zarya Lugansk are $5.2M in the red

The borrowing is past what the bank agreed, which is the line where a debt stops being how football is financed and starts being a problem. Every phone-in in this town will quote the figure for the next five years.

Squad25 Sep 2028

Words exchanged at Zarya Lugansk

Yasson Mandzukas and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match16 Sep 2028

The run at home goes on for Zarya Lugansk

17 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Market18 Sep 2028

Dawid Kucharczyk 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 Zarya Lugansk can pretend not to have heard.

Match16 Sep 2028

Nobody wants to play Zarya Lugansk right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Transfer targets18 Sep 2028

Zarya Lugansk rebuffed over Sergey Mokrousov

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. PSK Pervorechenskoe have kept their man, and Zarya Lugansk go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad18 Sep 2028

A falling-out at Zarya Lugansk

Nikita Gloidman and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The terraces18 Sep 2028

One of their own: Jiří Šplíchal

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match16 Sep 2028

Alexandros Kedikoglou sends Zarya Lugansk past Torpedo Miass

It finished 2‑0, and it was Alexandros Kedikoglou’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Zarya Lugansk.

Player ratings18 Sep 2028

Alexandros Kedikoglou in the eights

A performance of 8.15 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Market18 Sep 2028

Zarya Lugansk sign Peter Bero, one for the future

Peter Bero is 17, and Zarya Lugansk have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

In brief
