Squad

Tempers go at Sturm Graz

Arjan Malić 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 Sturm Graz training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Seedy Jatta 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

Otar Kiteishvili has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Sturm Graz 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Otar Kiteishvili

Successful dribbles: 54. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Axel Kayombo breaks a bone — 56 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 56 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Sturm Graz say no — this time

The offer from FC Metz for Seedy Jatta 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.

Player ratings

Arjan Malić, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.87

A mark of 7.87 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.

Market

Sturm Graz pay Austria Wien $510.0K for a proper upgrade

Austria Wien did not want to sell and the number is why they did. $510.0K for Romeo Vučić, and the expectation that arrives with him is the kind no amount of settling-in period softens.

Match

Sturm Graz make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Sturm Graz have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad

Tempers go at Sturm Graz

Raphael Onisiwo 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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Arjan Malić

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

The Mattersburg Sentinel

From our football correspondent Triumph

Player ratings

Both of them David Junuzovic's — 8.29

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.29, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market

Mattersburg turn down Triestina for Raphael Onisiwo

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Tempers go at Mattersburg

Markus Alaba 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

David Junuzovic sends Mattersburg past Rapid Wien

It finished 3‑2, and it was David Junuzovic’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Mattersburg.

Market

Eyes on Andreas Ulmer again

The phone has started ringing about Andreas Ulmer again, and this time the name on the line is Grodig. Mattersburg are listening politely and promising nothing.

The terraces

Mattersburg supporters have found a favourite in Dominik Baumgartner

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Dominik Baumgartner 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

Ninety minutes of Marko Prass at his very best

Marked 8.51. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Mattersburg.

Squad

Alexander Grillitsch 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.

Match

David Junuzovic answers Rapid Wien immediately

Conceding is one thing; the response is what tells you about a dressing room. David Junuzovic had Mattersburg level again within 1 minutes, and Rapid Wien never got to play with a lead at all.
