The terraces

Supporters organise against the Magdeburg board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Noahkai Banks at 20 — 7.63

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Noahkai Banks did not need any: 7.63, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Words exchanged at Magdeburg

Jean Hugonet 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.

Match

Magdeburg see off Preußen Münster

Three points for Magdeburg, 1‑0 the final word against Preußen Münster in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Words at Magdeburg training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Richmond Tachie 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

Mario Risso wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Magdeburg can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Squad

Nick Meier signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Nick Meier commits to Magdeburg for another 4 years.

Player ratings

Mateusz Żukowski was the difference for Magdeburg

Marked 7.97. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

The dugout

Jonas Meier has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Jonas Meier on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

The terraces

Anger at Magdeburg spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Market

Dominik Reimann moves on

Nürnberg pay $2.0M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Marlon Mustapha

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Magdeburg have done the hard part with Austria Wien, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad

Words exchanged at Magdeburg

Jean Hugonet 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.

Transfer targets

Magdeburg rebuffed over Adam Hložek

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

Market

Sebastián Olmedo has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Magdeburg can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Squad

Words at Magdeburg training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Léon Bell Bell 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.

Market

A long bet from Magdeburg on Lasse Eickel

He is 19, and nobody at Magdeburg signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Transfer targets

Magdeburg ask about Silas Ostrzinski

A loan enquiry to Borussia Dortmund: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout

Noah Kruth says Magdeburg went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Mateusz Żukowski 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at Magdeburg

Léon Bell Bell 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

Nick Meier signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Nick Meier commits to Magdeburg for another 4 years.

Squad

Luis Franco wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Magdeburg know it.

The dugout

A promise honoured at Magdeburg

Something was said to Noahkai Banks and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

Loan watch

Dariusz Stalmach counts the days

“I watch every Magdeburg game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Mainz 05 runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Nick Meier

“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.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Nick Meier

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Hannover 96 in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.
