Squad

Tempers go at Kolding IF

Jeffrey Adjei-Broni 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.

Squad

Almar Grindhaug falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

Talks stall between Kolding IF and Mathijs Marschalk

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

Filip Werner signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Filip Werner commits to Kolding IF for another 4 years.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Joaquín Torres

“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.

Match

Kolding IF have something to play for

Position 4 on 38 points, and the places that carry a European ticket are close enough to count. Seasons like this are decided by two results in April, and the club knows which two.

Squad

Tempers go at Kolding IF

Sebastian Biller 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.

Squad

Words at Kolding IF training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Almar Grindhaug 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

No hiding place for Nicolai Bossen

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

Squad

Mats Frans signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Mats Frans commits to Kolding IF for another 4 years.

Boardroom

Kolding IF counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Kolding IF now.

Squad

Joss Marques da Silva: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Kolding IF will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Jesús Alfaro breaks a bone — 66 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 66 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Boardroom

Kolding IF put Lucas Wind on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Market

Mika Peters 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 Kolding IF can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom

Kolding IF close the window on a squad of their own making

6 in and 2 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Viktor de Paoli rejects the move

Kolding IF had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at AGF, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

A falling-out at Kolding IF

Jeffrey Adjei-Broni and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Sterling Yatéké falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

No hiding place for Igor Gosik

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

Squad

A step back for Magnus Westergaard at Kolding IF

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.
