Marked for Arjan Malić

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Arjan Malić keeps the receipts

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

Squad

Diant Ramaj 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 Heidenheim this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Eren Dinkçi 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

TSG Hoffenheim take the points off Heidenheim

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

No hiding place for Diant Ramaj

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Diant Ramaj, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

The game went through Mikkel Kaufmann — 6.78

Marked 6.78 on 12 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

Market

Heidenheim turn down FC Augsburg for Budu Zivzivadze

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

A move Lars Ritzka would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Lars Ritzka is living that version at Heidenheim, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Patrick Mainka signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Patrick Mainka and Heidenheim agree another 3 years.

Squad

Diant Ramaj 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 Heidenheim this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

A long bet from Heidenheim on Arjan Malić

He is 20, and nobody at Heidenheim signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Squad

Jonas Föhrenbach out for 56 days

The medical room confirms 56 days on the sidelines for Jonas Föhrenbach, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

The terraces

Sturm Graz sell a favourite for $5.2M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Arjan Malić was one of the reasons people came, and $5.2M does not replace that by itself.

Market

Sturm Graz sell Arjan Malić for $5.2M

Arjan Malić has left for Heidenheim in a $5.2M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

Maurice Malone signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Maurice Malone and Sturm Graz agree another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Sturm Graz

Maurice Malone was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The terraces

Sturm Graz supporters have found a favourite in Seedy Jatta

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Seedy Jatta has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad

No hiding place for Daniil Khudyakov

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Daniil Khudyakov, and the manager let it.

Match

Maurice Malone the difference as Sturm Graz beat Red Bull Salzburg

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Maurice Malone. 1‑0 against Red Bull Salzburg, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Market

36 months and counting on Jon Gorenc Stankovič

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

Player ratings

Seedy Jatta was the difference for Sturm Graz

Marked 7.74. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

9 seasons of Stefan Hierländer

389 appearances across 9 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Sturm Graz know what they have.

Player ratings

Otar Kiteishvili runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Arjan Malić attracts admirers

The name of Arjan Malić has come up in conversations Sturm Graz were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Otar Kiteishvili signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Otar Kiteishvili commits to Sturm Graz for another 3 years.

Squad

Jon Gorenc Stankovič 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 Sturm Graz this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Luca Kronberger comes home

The shirt still fits. Luca Kronberger is back at Sturm Graz, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.
