Squad

Sandro Arveladze 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

Tempers go at Zugdidi

Giorgi Gvasalia 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.

Market

Still no ink between Zugdidi and Samuel Okon

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Zugdidi, another week without a signature from Samuel Okon.

Squad

Nika Kashia damages knee ligaments — 22 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 22 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.

Squad

A fracture rules Saba Mikautadze out for 14 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Zugdidi will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Giorgi Gvasalia: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Zugdidi have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Kota Sanada 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 The request is on a desk at Egnatia Rrogozhinë, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

Nobody wants to play Egnatia Rrogozhinë 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.

Squad

Guillem Jaime 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 Egnatia Rrogozhinë this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Alessandro Albanese sends Egnatia Rrogozhinë past Teuta Durrës

It finished 2‑1, and it was Alessandro Albanese’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Egnatia Rrogozhinë.

Squad

Arbenit Xhemajli 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.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Afonso Rodrigues

Marked 8.04 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Arbenit Xhemajli

“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.

Squad

A promise honoured for Levan Tandilashvili

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Egnatia Rrogozhinë told Levan Tandilashvili something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Loan watch

Daniel Adjessa wants to come home

“I did not go to Slovacko to sit and watch. I want to come back to Egnatia Rrogozhinë and fight for my place.” 3 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.

Tempers go at Egnatia Rrogozhinë

Guillem Jaime 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.

Market

No place for Afonso Rodrigues in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Afonso Rodrigues has his answer from Egnatia Rrogozhinë; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Player ratings

Afonso Rodrigues runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Words at Egnatia Rrogozhinë training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Arbenit Xhemajli 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 Altin Kryeziu

“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.

Market

Talks stall between Egnatia Rrogozhinë and Levan Tandilashvili

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

Levan Tandilashvili dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Guillem Jaime

A mark of 7.16, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.
