Squad

Tempers go at Skonto

Juan Martín Rojas 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

Jānis Grīnbergs is a Skonto player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Squad

Vido Marković 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 Skonto know it.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Olegs Zjuzins

“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

A knee injury of the worst kind for Gatis Oss

42 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Skonto lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Akron join the queue for Roberts Zjuzins

Add another name to the list: Akron have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Roberts Zjuzins. The answer from Skonto has not changed — yet.

Squad

Davis Jagodinskis 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 Skonto this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Ariel Schuartzman 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

Ariel Schuartzman has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Skonto know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Market

Kristaps Gabovs is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Skonto has been clear about where Kristaps Gabovs stands, which is more than many ever get.
