Ermal Ymeri in a row with a teammate

A row about effort at Breidablik
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Kristófer Ingi Kristinsson was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

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

At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Breidablik, and both men came out saying it was fine.
