The Real Cartagena Sentinel

20 Aug 2029
From our football correspondent Crisis

Market20 Aug 2029

Cristian Graciano hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Real Cartagena can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings20 Aug 2029

Both of them Franco Pulicastro's — 8.93

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.93, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match18 Aug 2029

6 matches without a win for Real Cartagena

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Real Cartagena are no longer polite ones.

Squad20 Aug 2029

A falling-out at Real Cartagena

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

Squad20 Aug 2029

Appearance number 500 for David Ospina

500 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.

Squad20 Aug 2029

Franco Pulicastro 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.

Match18 Aug 2029

Late, late show earns Real Cartagena a point

Minute 96, against Independiente Medellin, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.

Match18 Aug 2029

Honours even between Real Cartagena and Independiente Medellin

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

The dugout20 Aug 2029

Gustavo Vargas gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The Atromitos Herald

12 Jun 2028
From our football correspondent Steady

Transfer targets12 Jun 2028

Gelson Martins due for a Atromitos medical

Everything agreed with Olympiacos, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Boardroom12 Jun 2028

Achilleas Poungouras has agreed to leave Atromitos for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Tempers go at Atromitos

Pantelis Hatzidiakos 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.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Kostas Galanopoulos 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.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Michalis Panagidis stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Michalis Panagidis and Atromitos agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout12 Jun 2028

Panagiotis Retsos knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Atromitos, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout12 Jun 2028

When it matters, Quini plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad12 Jun 2028

International call for Panagiotis Retsos

Panagiotis Retsos joins up with his country. Atromitos lose him for the window and would like him back in one piece.

The dugout12 Jun 2028

The manager makes Jordi Sanchez a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Atromitos. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.
