Squad

80 days out for Adrian Moldovan after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Sepsi OSK will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Tempers go at Sepsi OSK

Constantin Grameni 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Nicolae Păun

“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.

Squad

Gui Beleza is a square peg at Sepsi OSK

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.

Squad

Words at Sepsi OSK training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Moussa Grange 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

Georgy Tikhomirov gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Georgy Tikhomirov is on it.

Squad

87 days out for Adrian Moldovan after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Sepsi OSK will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The dugout

Nacho Heras says Sepsi OSK went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

A falling-out at Sepsi OSK

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

Squad

A row about effort at Sepsi OSK

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

Squad

Home is on Jaydon Zijsling's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Sepsi OSK are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

The dugout

Nicolae Păun gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Nicolae Păun is on it.

The dugout

No hiding place for Moussa Grange

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

The dugout

Nicolae Păun knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Nicolae Păun trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

The Andrei Vlad story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Andrei Vlad signs something — a contract at Sepsi OSK or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
