Squad

Tornike Dzotsenidze damages knee ligaments — 109 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 109 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

Words exchanged at MFK Michalovce

Martin Koscelník 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

José Ángel López 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.

Market

The Tomasz Walczak talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. MFK Michalovce know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout

The manager makes Jakub Nečas a promise

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

Market

Victor Thiago placed on the list

MFK Michalovce have made Victor Thiago available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Market

Victor Thiago 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 MFK Michalovce can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets

Angel Yondjo due for a MFK Michalovce medical

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

Squad

A falling-out at MFK Michalovce

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

Market

Martin Mazuch steps up from the MFK Michalovce academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Martin Mazuch has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Squad

Words at MFK Michalovce training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tornike Dzotsenidze 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Jakub Nečas

“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

MFK Michalovce buy the years ahead of Samuel Sousa

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Squad

Samuel Sousa signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Samuel Sousa and MFK Michalovce agree another 3 years.

Squad

Francisco Lino is a square peg at MFK Michalovce

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.
