Market

Giorgos Sokos asks to leave Atvidaberg

“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

Tempers go at Atvidaberg

Victor Kamf 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

Ehsan Karimi has improved at 27, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Boardroom

Atvidaberg still without a manager

12 days since the seat came open, a list of names doing the rounds, and nobody has signed anything. Every week this drags on the shortlist gets shorter.

Squad

Words at Atvidaberg training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Joel Hedström 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Fer Pina

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

Match

Atvidaberg share the spoils with Orebro

A 1‑1 draw with Orebro leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Player ratings

Alexandru Ghiţă runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Off the pace: José Estrada

A mark of 5.72 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

From our football correspondent Steady

Boardroom

Martin Larsson is out at Atvidaberg

Four paragraphs on the club website, none of them about football. The board thanked him, wished him well, and had the search under way before the page went up.

Market

José Estrada 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 Atvidaberg can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom

Simon Tankovic steps up at Atvidaberg for now

“Somebody picks the team on Saturday. This week it is me, and that is as far as I have thought.” No promises were made in either direction, which is how these usually begin.

Player ratings

Alexandru Ghiţă, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.27

A mark of 8.27 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Hugo Claesson keeps Atvidaberg in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

A move Ehsan Karimi would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Ehsan Karimi is living that version at Atvidaberg, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Ali Saedi says Atvidaberg 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

Victor Kamf 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 Atvidaberg this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Atvidaberg see off Djurgarden

Three points for Atvidaberg, 1‑0 the final word against Djurgarden in a contest settled by the finer margins.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A fracture rules Mehdi Noorafkan out for 68 days

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

Squad

Milad Torabi 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 Rah Ahan this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Mehdi Ghoddos 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.

In brief
