Player ratings

Emir Kuhinja scores twice — 8.06

Two goals and a mark of 8.06 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Beroe turn down Huesca for Wesley Dual

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

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 3 years.

Squad

Juan Carlos Pineda 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.

Market

Eyes on Viktorio Valkov again

The phone has started ringing about Viktorio Valkov again, and this time the name on the line is Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa. Beroe are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Santiago Brunelli 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.

Transfer targets

Beroe rebuffed over Brandão

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Coritiba have kept their man, and Beroe go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Player ratings

Both jobs done by David Valverde — 7.12

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 12 actions, 7.12, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Squad

No place for Krasimir Todorov in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Beroe are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

In brief
