Match

UCSA are in real trouble now

Position 14, 7 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Match

5 matches without a win for UCSA

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

Transfer targets

Stephen Nenè due for a UCSA medical

Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

Tempers go at UCSA

Pablo Castro 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

UCSA come up short against Livyi Bereh

Livyi Bereh left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Boardroom

Wages eat 345% of everything UCSA earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Pablo Castro

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at UCSA

11 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

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 Maksym Boyko left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad

Vadym Yushchyshyn keeps UCSA in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Transfer targets

Vitalii Lobko will not be coming to UCSA

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Dynamo Kyiv is saying, and nobody at UCSA is enjoying the guessing.

Squad

Pablo Castro 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 UCSA this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

UCSA rebuffed over Maksym Mudryi

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

Market

One of our own: Mykola Vanat joins the UCSA first team

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

Market

UCSA promote Bohdan Matvienko from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Bohdan Matvienko 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.

Market

Dmytro Bezus steps up from the UCSA academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Dmytro Bezus 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Maksym Andrushchenko

“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.
