Dzmitry Chaley
Belarusian footballer
Dzmitry Alyaksandrovich Chaley (Belarusian: Дзьмітры Аляксандровіч Чалей; Russian: Дмитрий Александрович Чалей; born 14 February 1978) is a retired Belarusian professional footballer. After retiring, he worked as a youth coach.
Career
In 2001, Chaley left Slavia Mozyr for Ružomberok in Slovakia. In 2004, he said that "What caught my eye [in Slovakia] was the abundance of tough game - the fight on the field was conducted until the last second of the match. To master after the “Slavia”, where they practiced technical, combination football, was not easy. In principle, the level of the Slovak championship is low.

Why this record matters
The phrase “belarusian footballer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 28, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q5319990. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1978, 2001 and 2004.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
