Squad

Dominik Sallai keeps Haladas in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 13 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

Haladas beaten on the continent

0‑2 against Osasuna, and an evening that measured the gap rather than the ninety minutes. Nothing about it was a disgrace and nothing about it was close.

Match

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

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

Player ratings

Adriano De Simone was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 22. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

Tempers go at Haladas

Danilo Mitrović 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

Haladas cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad

Words at Haladas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marko Radojević 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.

The dugout

The team sheet said everything about Barna Kesztyűs

Warm-up bib, ninety minutes of watching, and a handshake at the end that fooled nobody. Big matches tell you who a manager trusts; this one told Barna Kesztyűs.

The dugout

Bence Nagy: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Market

Dominik Botka sold, and an era ends

$3.1M from Puskas Akademia for Dominik Botka. Money is money, but the dressing room has lost the man it looked to.

Match

The cup run ends for Haladas

2‑2 against Ujpest, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Match

Haladas strike at the death to beat Puskas Akademia

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

Squad

Dominik Sallai wins the shoot-out

1 kept out from twelve yards, and a stadium that will describe each of them for twenty years. A goalkeeper needs one night like this in a career, and this was it.

Market

Attila Fiola 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 Haladas can pretend not to have heard.

The terraces

Haladas sell a favourite for $3.1M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Dominik Botka was one of the reasons people came, and $3.1M does not replace that by itself.

Squad

Nazar Balaba arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Nazar Balaba has, at Haladas, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Transfer targets

Vasas tell Haladas: Patrick Iyinbor is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market

Haladas say no — this time

The offer from Bekescsaba for Tamas Nikolic 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.

In brief
