From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Felix Wakaso is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Baba Ofori signs a new deal

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

Squad

Tempers go at Hasaacas

Nana Mohammed 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

A late step up for Baba Mohammed

At 26 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 4 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Match

A bad afternoon for Hasaacas against Aduana Stars

1‑2 to Aduana Stars, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

Baba Ofori runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Nana Mohammed 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 Hasaacas can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Hasaacas say no — this time

The offer from Viking for Joseph Partey was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Nana Mohammed 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.

Market

The Kwame Inusah conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: New Edubiase United will make the call about Kwame Inusah this week. Hasaacas have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Squad

Tempers go at Hasaacas

Amos Ofori 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 Hasaacas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jeffrey Annan 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 Albert Asamoah

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

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Bernard Essien breaks a bone — 15 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 15 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Amos Essien is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Hasaacas is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Jonathan Waris

101 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Hasaacas lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Nana Mohammed asks to leave Hasaacas

“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

A fracture rules Bernard Essien out for 110 days

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

Market

Hasaacas say no — this time

The offer from New Edubiase United for Amos Essien was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Tempers go at Hasaacas

Nana Mohammed 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Hasaacas against Asante Kotoko

1‑2 to Asante Kotoko, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Albert Ayew signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Albert Ayew and Hasaacas agree another 2 years.

Player ratings

Baba Ofori runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 8. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Loan watch

Samuel Mohammed has made Bechem United’s shirt his own

21 starts now, an average of 6.62, and the team sheet at Bechem United has stopped being a question. Exactly what everybody signed up for.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Squad

Jonathan Waris damages knee ligaments — 109 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 109 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

Hasaacas strike at the death to beat Liberty Professionals

There were 88 minutes on the clock and Liberty Professionals had all but banked the point. Football rarely reads the room, and Hasaacas did not stop to explain themselves.

Market

Hasaacas say no — this time

The offer from Ashanti Gold for Jeffrey Annan was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Albert Ayew keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Hasaacas may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Nana Mohammed 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.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Hasaacas

The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Yaw Acquah

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Hasaacas see off Liberty Professionals

Three points for Hasaacas, 2‑1 the final word against Liberty Professionals in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The terraces

Hasaacas supporters have found a favourite in Jeffrey Annan

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Jeffrey Annan has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings

Jeffrey Annan runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 40. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Yaw Acquah breaks a bone — 58 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 58 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

No end in sight to Hasaacas's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Hasaacas has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Amos Ofori 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.

Match

The goals have deserted Hasaacas

3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Hasaacas can tell you which week it ends in.

Squad

Words at Hasaacas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Baba Mohammed 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

Albert Ayew has improved at 25, 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.

Match

Hasaacas find a way past Wa All Stars

Wa All Stars made Hasaacas work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.
