Squad

The knee: Seth Paintsil out for 62 days

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

Transfer targets

Hasaacas rebuffed over Ruslan Kul'

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

Match

Hasaacas get the job done against Aduana Stars

A 2‑1 win over Aduana Stars, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Tempers go at Hasaacas

Seth Paintsil 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.

Player ratings

One of those days for a squad player

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.60, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

Words at Hasaacas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Manuel Mantey 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

Abraham Kyereh signs a new deal

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

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Jeffrey Adjei, on a 2‑1 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

Looking ahead

The leaders are next for Hasaacas

Wa All Stars top the table and they are coming into view. Nothing to lose, which is what every manager says before losing.

Squad

Manuel Mantey 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 Hasaacas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Hasaacas

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Seth Paintsil was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Player ratings

a squad player was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.06. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

Jeffrey Annan signs a new deal

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

Match

a squad player rescues a point for Hasaacas

It needed a squad player to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Bechem United, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The dugout

Jeffrey Adjei on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Jeffrey Adjei after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Seth Paintsil

Successful dribbles: 11. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout

Patrick Mensah has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Hasaacas 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.

Squad

Hasaacas take the armband off Abdul Schlupp

It will be explained as a change for the team and it may even be one. Nobody who has worn one believes that, and neither does the man who has just had it taken away.

Transfer targets

Sharif Shuaib turns down Hasaacas

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Hearts of Oak keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad

Osayi Onyeka signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Osayi Onyeka commits to Hasaacas for another 4 years.

Squad

Words at Hasaacas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Osayi Onyeka 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

Words exchanged at Hasaacas

a squad player 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Abdul Schlupp

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

Market

Hasaacas and Ikenna Nkwazema 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 Hasaacas on Ikenna Nkwazema

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

The dugout

Osayi Onyeka knocks on the manager's door

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

Squad

Edmund Waris is a square peg at Hasaacas

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.
