Kolonia Fussball 0 – 2 Smyslova Virmest
Jacob Hashimoto earned a well-deserved Man of the Match award in the opener and Harry Leveson-Gower was flawless in net as Smyslova ran out comfortable winners against Kolonia Fussball. It's not fair to describe any team as definitely inferior or superior at this early stage, but Kolonia's peculiar "lopsided" formation – featuring a right-sided midfielder without a counterpart on the left – was bottled up all game, and never looked like threatening a rock-solid Leveson-Gower16 Leveson-Gower

With the scoresheet blank at the halfway mark, Lumir Gabashviliev let David Mogilevets come off the bench and the self-described "playa among players" repaid his coach in style, scoring the first and setting up Ilja Pronin for the second within fifteen minutes. The Smyslova fans were in fine voice in the home opener, singing from the first whistle to the final one, and giving every member of the team a colossal reception as they did the traditional round of applause.16 Leveson-Gower

Smudge's Red Card The Only Blemish On A Phenomenal Performance
Canil Olympic 0 – 4 Smyslova Virmest
Proving that you can take the boy out of Vsevintseva but you can't take Vsevintseva out of the boy, Frantisek Smerdyakov turned in a truly world-class performance and capped it off in classic Smudge style – going for the ball, taking the ball and the man, and adding a second yellow to his first. Goals from Zigmund Samoylenko and Milan Vodopyanov saw the game over within the first fifteen, but Harry Leveson-Gower still had to perform a stunning reflex save to keep the team's clean sheet streak alive in the dying minutes.16 Leveson-Gower

"For the first time, the LMO is allowing cameras behind the scenes to capture the day-to-day life of a football team, and we'll be following Smyslova Virmest as they try to make the nation proud in the NS Premier League." The words remain the same, but the opening montage has changed - where originally it featured clips of the players in action with their club sides, now it's a highlight reel of the first few games, with the final shot one of the whole team celebrating their first win. "Come with us...Behind Closed Doors."
The title card fades out to footage of the team in training, captioned "SMYSLOVA VIRMEST TRAINING CAMP - POST MATCHDAY THREE". The atmosphere is relaxed and loose, as one would expect it to be in a team yet to concede a goal in league play, but no less serious for it. In one goal, Harry Leveson-Gower is drilling penalties with David Mogilevets, hero of the Todas Partes game; at the other end of the pitch, Igor Vasilevski is in net for a group of players working on their corners. Even Frantisek Smerdyakov isn't his normal surly self.
The scenes are accompanied by a voiceover from Lumir Gabashviliev, who is in the unenviable position of having to keep the team grounded: "Obviously, I'm as happy as any of the lads at the way things have gone so far, but these are early, early days. Do I think there are areas we could improve on? Of course." It probably isn't a coincidence the camera is watching Milos Zheldakov as he says that – the word is that Stanislaus Pogrebnyak will be getting the next start.
The midfielders, with the exception of Smerdyakov, have been gathered for a meeting with the coach and his second-in-command. "First things first," starts Gabashviliev, looking at each of them in turn. "Let me congratulate those of you who played. The strikers score the goals and the defense keeps them out, but neither of them could do their jobs without you guys. You're the heart and the soul of this time and you were ****ing magnificent."
The scene is intercut with snippets of interviews from the midfielders themselves, conducted in classic "talking head" style. As Gabashviliev continues to talk on screen, it's Esien-Oku Akinbode who's first up: "Coming here, I didn't know what to make of the coach. I'd heard the stories, that he had a horrible temper, that he'd...y'know, got into fistfights with his own players, but I was really impressed. He's got a real vision for this team and I respect that."
It's back to Gabashviliev on the training pitch. "What I want to see over the next few games is for us to play a lot wider. We're not playing to the sidelines and we've got away with it so far, but the better teams in the league are going to exploit that. Ziggy, Elbow, this is your area of expertise and I want to see you making more of an effort to stretch the defense." Laszlo Bilyaletdinov nods, looking studious and apparently taking it all on board.
Zigmund Samoylenko feels differently, as the camera cuts to him in "talking head" mode: "I like the ideas he's got, but just talking to us about it isn't going to help. We're built to play defense and counter-attack, and if he wants to make us different, he's going to need new players." Samoylenko doesn't voice his concerns in public, however. "And besides, we're three-for-three and we haven't let in a single goal yet. Why change something that's working?"
Gabashviliev has his reasons: "People are going to wonder why I want the midfield and the team to change, and it's...it's about identity. We're here representing the best of Lzherusskia's football league, and I don't want us to get a reputation for being...dull, for being boring, for being defense-first. That's doing the guys a disservice, and I know I've got the talent here to make this team into anything I need them to be. I want to prove to the world that this is Lzherusskia's team and there is nothing you can do that we can't do better."
"For all his big ideas and his blue-sky thinkking," cuts in the narrator, as the camera shifts to a very unhappy-looking Juraj Savrasenko, "there are problems here on the ground that Lumir Gabashviliev has to address first. Juraj Savrasenko has requested a formal meeting with his coach about his lack of playing time." It's obviously some time later, and a casually-clothed Savrasenko is sitting in the coach's office, waiting for Gabashviliev and his team.
"I know I shouldn't take this personally," says Savrasenko, the talking head. "But the league voted for me as the best right back, and I haven't been given any chances. I played nine ****ing minutes in three games, for ****'s sake, and it's so convenient that the guy playing in my spot just happens to play for Savoprinov and with the coach in the league. So no, I'm not happy." It's a surprising level of anger, and not one that shows on Savrasenko's face in the coach's office.
"Juraj," says Gabashviliev as he enters, reaching out to shake his defender's hand before sitting down. "You asked to see me. What's the problem?"
Savrasenko takes the proffered hand, although with a little reluctance. "I want to be straight with you, coach. I know it's early doors and all that, but I'm not happy with the team selection."
Gabashviliev purses his lips briefly as he taps the desk lightly, a nervous habit of his that years of dealing with the nation's press has only exacerbated. Poker players would call it a tell, but all it says is that the coach is in a difficult position – something anybody could see. "I was afraid that might be it. Juraj, you were straight with me so I'll be straight with you – I meant what I said in that meeting before. Yes, I've picked Radomir to play right back, but don't think I don't think you're a very good player."
"That's all well and good to say, coach, but..." Savrasenko scratches his head, evidently trying to avoid being obviously rude. "But I've been training as hard as anybody and yet you gave me...like, nine minutes. Nine minutes at the end of a game we were miles ahead in. Coach, it..." Savrasenko looks down, then back up, and there's both anger and hurt in his eyes. "It feels like I'm being punished for something I didn't know I did."
"Juraj, come on. You're a professional footballer, you've been doing this for over fifteen years. There's no slight here, I'm not playing favourites and I've got no idea why I should even be punishing you, if that's what you really think." Gabashviliev sighs, not liking this conversation any more than his defender does. "The fact is, Radomir has played and he has been excellent. You can't realistically expect me to drop him because your feelings are hurt."
"I don't want that, coach, I just..." Savrasenko stops himself from continuing, but then carries on anyway. "...you said you're not playing favourites, but people in the team don't see it like that. I'm an All-Star, I've played with the national team loads of times, and I'm losing my place to a 22-year-old kid who just happens to be one of your boys?" Gabashviliev's jaw has set, and any sympathy he may have had is obviously long gone, but Savrasenko is on a roll: "It looks scummy, boss. I know I've been training my heart out, everyone else knows that, but now I've lost out for no reason?"
"There was a reason, Juraj," says Gabashviliev, his tone icy. "The reason was because Radomir looked better in training than you did and I thought he would give the team a better chance of success. Given that we have played three games and won three games, it looks like I was right." Savrasenko opens his mouth, but Gabashviliev carries right on over him. "No, don't say a word. That is all that is going on here. And frankly, I am offended that you think I have that little integrity."
"It's not that, boss, it's just..."
"I know just what it is, Juraj," says the coach, his stare boring straight into Savrasenko. "You think you deserve to play. That is your right. You have expressed those opinions. That is also your right. But you have expressed them extremely badly and I am very angry. Now, there are two ways we can continue from here. Either you can respect that I am the coach, I make the decisions and I flatter myself by thinking I make them well, or you can leave the team. Whichever you decide, Smyslova Virmest will continue." Sitting back in his chair, Gabashviliev flicks a glance at the cameras. "Do not let me detain you."
Savrasenko doesn't move for a few moments. The look on his face is a mix - frustration, humiliation, shame and extreme anger – and his hands are clenched into tight fists. There is a tense moment before Savrasenko stands up, nods tersely, and leaves the room. No answer is given. Gabashviliev waits a few seconds before closing the door – only once he's alone in his office does he let himself sit down and sag into the chair, sighing deeply and shaking his head.
"The funny thing I've found about management," he says, addressing the cameras without looking up, "is that you get people who play their video games and think that's it, that's all they need to know, but being a true manager is so much harder than that. Obviously I have to deal with the tactical side of the game, and I like to think I'm very good at that, but managers are called managers because we do just that - we manage people. It's something gamers never have to deal with, but a manager who can't read people and who can't deal with his players on an emotional or a psychological level is always going to fail. And players are...well, players are humans, and humans are very tough to deal with.
The scene fades out, into a montage of players, with Gabashviliev still talking. "Some are easy, some are open and honest." Harry Leveson-Gower, chatting with Kristian Petrov. "But some are jealous." Igor Vasilevski jumps to claim high balls. "Some think they're entitled to more than they have." Savrasenko's back, as he walks to his car. "Some seem to delight in causing chaos." Frantisek Smerdyakov is shown running silently and alone. "Some need to learn to take things more seriously." Tim Fortuyn and Jacob Hashimoto jog along together.
"And some are just...enigmas. Some you can't read at all." Milos Zheldakov juggles a ball by himself. "You can't work out where the pressure points are or what makes them tick." Zheldakov balances the ball on his head briefly. "Those ones you really need to keep on your side, because they can be your best friend or your worst enemy." Zheldakov flicks the ball over his shoulder, turns and catches it on the volley, firing it into the net. "Those are the ones who worry me."

RE: Stadium Lease Request
Mr. Ligsay,
I have received your request for a 10-year stadium lease for Stadium Sangti. However, I need you to answer some questions before considering this request.
We would want to know if people will attend your club's matches. We all know that football here is a profession, but in terms of national level, we aren't just yet that competitive. We can say regional, but in the multiversal stage? By my reckoning, you would struggle to fill the stadium with people. 60,000 seats isn't just a capacity for clubs, particularly newly-found clubs here. So why not look at alternatives first before you could lease the stadium?
I hope for a speedy response soon.

RE: Stadium Lease Request
Ms. Morato,
While it is certain that we, as a startup club, would struggle to attract fans from the city of Sangti, maybe even Region Capital, the impact that the club brings to the multiversal community is hoped to be a big one.
But the fact that there is no club from the region in the top division, we ensure that the level that our club plays will compare that of the top division, even better than that. Why? Because of the potential that there might be many current and former international players from the multiverse. Think that of the best nations in the multiverse. The level of competition is sure to be higher.
I hope that would factor in your decision soon.
