Match

A hiding for Inter Turku

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

Squad

Prosper Ahiabu stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Prosper Ahiabu and Inter Turku agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Eetu Huuhtanen 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 Inter Turku this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Loic Essomba

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Words at Inter Turku training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Prosper Ahiabu 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 manager makes an example of Eetu Huuhtanen

“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.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Inter Turku 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

The clock runs on Jean Botué'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.

Market

No place for Aaro Salonen in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Aaro Salonen has his answer from Inter Turku; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

In brief
