Market

Arol Ngintsop asks to leave Dnepr Mogilev

“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

Egor Karpitskiy 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 Dnepr Mogilev this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Pavel Sedich gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Tempers go at Dnepr Mogilev

Egor Karpitskiy 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Andrey Shemruk

“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.

Market

A long bet from Dnepr Mogilev on Kirill Chernyak

He is 19, and nobody at Dnepr Mogilev signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Squad

Andrey Shemruk loses the armband

The captaincy has been taken off Andrey Shemruk. Dnepr Mogilev will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.

Squad

Vadim Arutyunyan takes the armband

It is a strip of cloth and it decides nothing on a Saturday. It still tells the dressing room exactly whose opinion the manager values, which is the whole point of it.

Market

Artem Makavchik leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Artem Makavchik leaves Dnepr Mogilev the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Dnepr Mogilev count the cost of losing Fedor Yurkevich

86 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Reon Werahiko stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Reon Werahiko and Dnepr Mogilev agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

The Nikita Krasnov question follows Dnepr Mogilev around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Nikita Krasnov’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad

Reon Werahiko still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Dnepr Mogilev would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

Market

Reon Werahiko joins Dnepr Mogilev on a free

No fee and no drama: Reon Werahiko has signed at Dnepr Mogilev, and the wage bill is the only line that moved.

Egor Karpitskiy called up by his country

A window away with the national side, and a shirt at Dnepr Mogilev that briefly doubles as an advertisement. A call-up flatters the player and the club that built him in the same breath.
