The Kecskeméti TE Gazette

From our football correspondent Triumph

Market

András Eördögh 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 The request is on a desk at Kecskeméti TE, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

Nobody wants to play Kecskeméti TE right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Transfer targets

Kecskeméti TE make their move for Szabolcs Kátai

$66.0K on the table at Tiszakécske. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

Words exchanged at Kecskeméti TE

Bogdan Rmuš 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.

Squad

Dániel Radnóti arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Dániel Radnóti has, at Kecskeméti TE, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

The dugout

Csaba Belényesi frozen out at Kecskeméti TE

This is not rotation. Csaba Belényesi has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Kecskeméti TE is pretending otherwise.

Squad

Marcell Berki 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

Kecskeméti TE rebuffed over Martin Auerbach

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

Match

Balázs Kesző Farkas sends Kecskeméti TE past Bekescsaba

It finished 2‑0, and it was Balázs Kesző Farkas’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Kecskeméti TE.

The CSM Reșița Courier

17 Jul 2028
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Dániel Radnóti asks to leave CSM Reșița

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

A falling-out at CSM Reșița

Mihai Dolghi and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

A row about effort at CSM Reșița

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Marius Cioiu was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets

CSM Reșița rebuffed over Nikola Stevanović

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

Squad

5 new faces, and CSM Reșița are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Market

CSM Reșița put Alin Dudea up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Alin Dudea may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

The dugout

Răzvan Grădinaru asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

The Mihai Dolghi story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Mihai Dolghi signs something — a contract at CSM Reșița or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dugout

Ştefan Nedelcu has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at CSM Reșița will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The CSM Reșița Courier

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

The knee: Luc Essiena out for 47 days

47 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. CSM Reșița lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Toni Ruso at 18 — 7.66

The hardest thing about being 18 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Toni Ruso did not need any: 7.66, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Toni Ruso is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Words exchanged at CSM Reșița

Mihai Dolghi 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.

Squad

A move Dániel Radnóti 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. Dániel Radnóti is living that version at CSM Reșița, and it tends to show in the first month.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Ouparine Djoco

“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

Two points walk out of the ground

Level with 94 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon CSM Reșița had all but put away. CS Dinamo Bucharest will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.

Loan watch

Florin Antonescu wants his own locker back at CSM Reșița

“Three loans in three years. At some point a club has to decide if I am their player or their asset.” The spell at Universitatea Craiova continues; the message travels home.

Match

Honours even between CSM Reșița and CS Dinamo Bucharest

2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
