The Al-Ettifaq Sentinel

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Al-Shoulla come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Al-Ettifaq did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Georginio Wijnaldum 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 Al-Ettifaq this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Abdullah Al-Dossary 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

Ondrej Duda 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

Matija Gluščević signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Matija Gluščević and Al-Ettifaq agree another 4 years.

Market

A long bet from Al-Ettifaq on Andre Acquah

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

The Hasaacas Gazette

From our football correspondent Steady

Match

The small margins put Hasaacas out

Out, 2‑3 to Ashanti Gold, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Player ratings

Harrison Annan runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

David Asamoah 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.

Market

Only the photograph left for Afriyie Boateng

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Afriyie Boateng will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Hasaacas the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Words at Hasaacas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Bernard Inusah 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

Baba Schlupp 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.
