Boardroom

Egaleo spell it out for Spyridon Torosidis

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Spyridon Torosidis has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Match

Egaleo sink to position 8

18 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at Egaleo

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Egaleo is running low.

Squad

A fracture rules Miloš Deletić out for 55 days

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

Market

Ivane Chegra asks to leave Egaleo

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

A falling-out at Egaleo

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

Squad

Words at Egaleo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mouhamed Mbaye 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.

Transfer targets

Egaleo rebuffed over Vasilis Xenopoulos

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Kifisia have kept their man, and Egaleo go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

Félix Nzouango Bikien told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Félix Nzouango Bikien has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Egaleo.

Squad

The knee: Vasilis Papadopoulos out for 87 days

87 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Egaleo lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

Miloš Deletić breaks a bone — 132 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 132 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Mouhamed Mbaye is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Egaleo is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Words exchanged at Egaleo

Mouhamed Mbaye 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

Lucas Shlimon wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Egaleo can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

The dugout

Giorgos Xenitidis has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Egaleo will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market

Egaleo put Ivane Chegra up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Ivane Chegra may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

The dugout

Bedri Dunga asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout

A door opens for Abdulbasit Hawsawi

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Market

Aleksandr Šapovalov has said yes to Panionios

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Egaleo have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Squad

Words exchanged at Egaleo

Aleksandr Šapovalov 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

Words at Egaleo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mouhamed Mbaye 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.

Transfer targets

Atromitos tell Egaleo: Kostas Kotsaris 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.

The dugout

Giorgos Katris 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.

Squad

Pedro Sosa wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Egaleo know it.

Match

Egaleo refuse to lose to Olympiacos B

A point taken on 88 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.

Market

Egaleo and Mouhamed Mbaye 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.

Market

A long bet from Egaleo on Bedri Dunga

He is 20, and nobody at Egaleo signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

In brief
