The Molodechno Sentinel

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

Molodechno out of the cup

Volna Pinsk ended it 1‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Squad

Danila Tretyak wins the shoot-out

1 kept out from twelve yards, and a stadium that will describe each of them for twenty years. A goalkeeper needs one night like this in a career, and this was it.

Player ratings

Arseniy Yushkevich, 19, steals the show — 8.03

Marked 8.03 at 19, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Transfer targets

Prokhor Struk due for a Molodechno medical

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

Match

4 matches without a win for Molodechno

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Molodechno are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Words exchanged at Molodechno

Vladislav Panteleev 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Bogdan Levchenko

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Transfer targets

BATE tell Molodechno: Vladislav Yatskevich is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Yassine Bara 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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Player ratings

Ales Sakhonchik, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.65

A mark of 7.65 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Transfer targets

Yahor Hryshyn is a medical away from Molodechno

The deal with Lokomotiv Gomel is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Transfer targets

Denis Zakharov turns down Molodechno

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Vitebsk keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad

A falling-out at Molodechno

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

Transfer targets

Neman tell Molodechno: Guljigit Borubaev is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Myroslav Znovenko arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Myroslav Znovenko has, at Molodechno, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Market

One of our own: Vadzim Kislyak joins the Molodechno first team

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

Market

Vitaliy Kislyak steps up from the Molodechno academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Vitaliy Kislyak 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.

Market

Molodechno promote Ruslan Kendysh from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ruslan Kendysh 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.

Match

A hiding for Molodechno

Beaten 0‑3 by Minsk, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Market

Ilya Koval asks to leave Molodechno

“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

Maxim Yablonskiy signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Maxim Yablonskiy and Molodechno agree another 4 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Molodechno

Maxim Yablonskiy 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.

Transfer targets

Atlantas tell Molodechno: Paulius Paulauskas is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Words at Molodechno training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yassine Bara 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.

Squad

The formation has left Akim Belokhonov behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Molodechno will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Molodechno dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Market

Still no ink between Molodechno and Akim Belokhonov

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Molodechno, another week without a signature from Akim Belokhonov.
