Match20 Mar 2032

The run at home goes on for Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa

16 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Match20 Mar 2032

Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad22 Mar 2032

A falling-out at Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa

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

Match20 Mar 2032

Dominik Sarga the difference as Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa beat Belasitsa

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Dominik Sarga. 1‑0 against Belasitsa, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad22 Mar 2032

A row about effort at Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Radoslav Karamanov was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Boardroom22 Mar 2032

98% of the income goes out in wages at Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Player ratings22 Mar 2032

Nobody on the pitch touched Dominik Sarga

7.56, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

The dugout22 Mar 2032

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Davide Pellegrini kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

The dugout22 Mar 2032

The team sheet said everything about Denis Kirashki

Warm-up bib, ninety minutes of watching, and a handshake at the end that fooled nobody. Big matches tell you who a manager trusts; this one told Denis Kirashki.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad5 Jan 2032

Dominik Sarga honoured for the season

The kind of year that ends with a name being read out in a hall. Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa had the benefit of it every week and now have the problem of everybody else knowing.

Market5 Jan 2032

Nicholas Belloni 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 Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom5 Jan 2032

The owner puts $388.8K into Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa

This is money that keeps the lights on rather than money that buys a centre-half, and the difference is the whole story. A club funded by its owner rather than by its football has exactly one conversation left ahead of it.

Transfer targets5 Jan 2032

Door shut on Damyan Hristov

Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa asked and Levski said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match3 Jan 2032

Dominik Sarga’s goal not enough for Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa

Dominik Sarga scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Sevlievo, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad5 Jan 2032

Tempers go at Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa

Lucas Macedo 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.

Market5 Jan 2032

Septemvri join the queue for Mauro Zangari

Add another name to the list: Septemvri have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Mauro Zangari. The answer from Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa has not changed — yet.

The dugout5 Jan 2032

No hiding place for Lucas Macedo

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

Squad5 Jan 2032

A step back for Júnior Franco at Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.
