From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Brent Gabriel

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

Louis Bostyn: 11 seasons and counting

86 appearances across 11 seasons in one shirt. Careers like that are not built on purpose any more, and Zulte Waregem know exactly what they have.

Squad

Jelle Vossen signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jelle Vossen commits to Zulte Waregem for another 2 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Zulte Waregem

Salim Diakité 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

Vizela tell Zulte Waregem: Yann Kitala 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.

Match

Zulte Waregem come up short against Union SG

Union SG left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Thomas Claes

“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

Still no ink between Zulte Waregem and Jelle Vossen

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

Market

The clock runs on Anton Tanghe's contract

49 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

In brief
