Player ratings

Nobody could get near Armstrong Oko-Flex

Successful dribbles: 43. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Erick Cabaco puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Levski, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

Levski up to position 2

57 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Squad

Tempers go at Levski

Svetoslav Vutsov 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.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Levski

The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad

Words at Levski training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Radoslav Kirilov 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

No hiding place for Erick Cabaco

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

Match

Levski see off Cherno More

Three points for Levski, 1‑0 the final word against Cherno More in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Everton Bala at his very best

Marked 8.35. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Levski.

Squad

Marko Dugandžić damages knee ligaments — 15 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 15 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

Everton Bala sends Levski through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Everton Bala obliged against Arda. 3‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Levski.

Match

Cup progress for Levski

A 2‑0 win over Arda, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Match

Levski up to position 2

39 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

The terraces

Levski are 2 in the table and the town has noticed

39 points, a place near the top and a ground that has begun to enjoy itself. Nobody will say the word out loud, which is the surest indication that everybody is thinking it.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Radoslav Kirilov yet — 8.05

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.05 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market

Christian Makoun raises the bar for Levski

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Levski heard it as anything else.

Squad

Tempers go at Levski

Marko Grujić 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.

Player ratings

A goal and an assist for Reinaldo — 7.92

Involvement in 2 goals, from a player who spent the ninety minutes doing the thing a manager actually wants: being where the ball was going to end up. 7.92 beside his name.

In brief

  • Squad Words at Levski training over how hard people work
  • Player ratings One of those days for Everton Bala
  • Player ratings Ninety minutes of Akram Bouras at his very best

Squad

Marko Dugandžić damages knee ligaments — 29 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 29 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

Levski do the business in Europe

0‑0. Continental football is where a club finds out what it actually is, and Levski came through the finding-out well against Groningen.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Karl Fabien

Successful dribbles: 32. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Levski

Christian Makoun 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.

Squad

Words at Levski training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marko Grujić 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 Erick Cabaco

“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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Levski against Botev Plovdiv

0‑1 to Botev Plovdiv, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

Álex Centelles takes the honours

Marked 7.28 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Levski had the best player on the pitch.

Market

The Svetoslav Vutsov talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Levski know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
