The Wolfsberger AC Chronicle

9 Oct 2028
From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Nikolas Polster

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings

Filip Rózga runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Alessandro Schöpf stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Alessandro Schöpf and Wolfsberger AC agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Alessandro Schöpf 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 Wolfsberger AC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Thorgan Openda is a Wolfsberger AC player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Squad

A move Haris Kozarac would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Haris Kozarac is living that version at Wolfsberger AC, and it tends to show in the first month.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Emmanuel Agyemang at his very best

Marked 8.94. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Wolfsberger AC.

Match

Wolfsberger AC and Admira Wacker take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Market

The Philipp Wiesinger story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Philipp Wiesinger signs something — a contract at Wolfsberger AC or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The Paris FC Courier

10 Apr 2028
From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

No end in sight to Paris FC's wait for a win

21 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Paris FC has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

A fracture rules Pierre Lees-Melou out for 17 days

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

Squad

Tempers go at Paris FC

Ilan Kebbal 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.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Moses Simon

Marked 10.00 — 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

Ilan Kebbal 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.

Match

Moses Simon’s goal not enough for Paris FC

Moses Simon scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to RC Strasbourg, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

Ilan Kebbal is carrying Paris FC

6 goals and a season average of 7.43. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Loan watch

Rudy Matondo wants to come home

“I did not go to RC Strasbourg to sit and watch. I want to come back to Paris FC and fight for my place.” 7 appearances in 31 matches say the rest.

Player ratings

Mathieu Cafaro runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
