Market

Lee O'Connor asks to leave Chornomorets

“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.

Squad

Ivan Mudryk breaks a bone — 18 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 18 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Nazar Semenenko

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Chornomorets have done the hard part with Polissia, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad

Dmytro Forsiuk 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 Chornomorets this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Chornomorets training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Artur Riabov 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.

Transfer targets

Chornomorets rebuffed over Oleksiy Khoblenko

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

Match

Chornomorets end the wait against Obolon

It had gone 5 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Match

Chornomorets see off Obolon

Three points for Chornomorets, 1‑0 the final word against Obolon in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

Artur Avahimian was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.11. 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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Ivan Mudryk breaks a bone — 26 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 26 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

5 matches without a win for Chornomorets

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Chornomorets are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Artur Riabov 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

Arsentiy Doroshenko 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 Chornomorets this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Amando Lapage

“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.

Squad

Amando Lapage reaches 100 appearances

100 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Mykola Shevchuk was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Chornomorets dressing room was either.

Looking ahead

Chornomorets take on the side everybody is chasing

Obolon arrive as leaders. A side at the top is beaten roughly once a month, and the club that does it gets a week it remembers for a year.

Player ratings

Artur Riabov was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 13. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

33 days out for Ivan Mudryk after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Chornomorets will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market

Arsentiy Doroshenko asks to leave Chornomorets

“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 Chornomorets's wait for a win

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

Squad

Artur Riabov 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 Chornomorets this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Anton Harabazhii will join Chornomorets for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Anton Harabazhii has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Chornomorets have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Match

Artem Serdiuk’s goal not enough for Chornomorets

Artem Serdiuk scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Victoriia Sumy, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Maksym Koval

“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.

Boardroom

Inquest at Chornomorets

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 Mykola Shevchuk left the room before anybody could ask which.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A fracture rules Ivan Mudryk out for 40 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Chornomorets will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Vladyslav Sydorenko has one foot out of the door

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

Market

Chornomorets say no — this time

The offer from Kapaz for Illia Popovych was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Artur Avahimian signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Artur Avahimian and Chornomorets agree another 3 years.

Squad

Artur Riabov 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.

Boardroom

Chornomorets agree a free transfer for Abba Musa

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Squad

Adrien wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Chornomorets know it.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Yevhenii Profatylo

“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.

The dugout

Mykola Shevchuk: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

The Chornomorets Post

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

49 days out for Ivan Mudryk after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Chornomorets will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Chornomorets

Artur Riabov 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.

Match

Chornomorets come up short against Nyva

Nyva left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Dmytro Kliots

“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.

Boardroom

Inquest at Chornomorets

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

The dugout

Mykola Shevchuk faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Mykola Shevchuk after 0‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Gabi Caschili

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Chornomorets told Gabi Caschili something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Squad

A row about effort at Chornomorets

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

Boardroom

Belts tighten at Chornomorets

The accounts are being read more closely than the results. Wages before ambition is the order of business now, and the manager has been told so.
