Match

Egaleo sink to position 8

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

Market

Dimitris Goumas has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Egaleo they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Tempers go at Egaleo

Tobi Alagbe 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

Maxime Pélican 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

Lucas Shlimon 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

“I want to play”: Félix Nzouango Bikien speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Market

Only the photograph left for Vasilis Tsimopoulos

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Vasilis Tsimopoulos will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Egaleo the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Aleksandr Šapovalov in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Egaleo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Tobi Alagbe 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.

Squad

Tchow signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Tchow commits to Egaleo for another 3 years.

Squad

Bryan Nouvier loses the armband

The captaincy has been taken off Bryan Nouvier. Egaleo will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.

The dugout

Félix Nzouango Bikien 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.

The dugout

When it matters, Giorgos Kosteas plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market

Egaleo pick up Tchow for nothing

The best deals are the ones the accountants never notice. Tchow arrives at Egaleo with his wages the only cost and something to prove the only clause.

The dugout

Odysseas Spyridis has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Odysseas Spyridis has written the date down.
