Market

Rodrigo Freitas 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 The request is on a desk at Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Tsvetoslav Marinov

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa have done the hard part with CSKA 1948, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Transfer targets

Lokomotiv Plovdiv tell Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa: Martin Atanasov is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Words at Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Shola Adelani 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

Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa and Petar Vitanov are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

Words exchanged at Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa

Anatoly Anisimov 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.

Market

No place for Daniel Fernandes in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Daniel Fernandes has his answer from Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout

No hiding place for Miguel Rocha

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Miguel Rocha, and the manager let it.

The dugout

Aleksandar Angelov is still paying for one afternoon at Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • The dugout Shola Adelani knocks on the manager's door
  • Squad The formation has left Hamidou Ba behind
