The dugout

Yesid Valbuena keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Beroe may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Words exchanged at Beroe

Santiago Brunelli 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.

Squad

Hugo Basto 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Beroe against Septemvri

1‑2 to Septemvri, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of João Queirós

“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

Beroe are still strangers to each other

17 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Plamen Nedelev to a room that had heard them before.

Squad

Luís Santos is a square peg at Beroe

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Player ratings

Juan Carlos Pineda was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 14. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

Mitko Mitkov 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. Mitko Mitkov has, at Beroe, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Player ratings

Facundo Costantini goes up and wins it — 7.94

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.94 for the rest of it.

Squad

Santiago Brunelli signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Santiago Brunelli commits to Beroe for another 4 years.

Market

As if he never left: Mitko Mitkov returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Mitko Mitkov is a Beroe player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Squad

Santiago Brunelli 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 Beroe this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Cosmin Burca

Beroe asked and Pandurii said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Zapro Dinev 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.

Player ratings

Juan Carlos Pineda beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market

49 months and counting on Juan Carlos Pineda

Still no offer on the table, and Juan Carlos Pineda’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

In brief
