Player ratings

Janos Botka runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 34. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Norbert Nagy breaks a bone — 24 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 24 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Daniel Gulacsi puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Haladas, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

The Ujpest deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Daniel Nikolic reports back to Haladas with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad

Tempers go at Haladas

Dominik Szalai 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

The manager makes an example of Stefan Đorđević

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Words at Haladas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Norbert Lang 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.

Player ratings

Attila Dibusz was the difference for Haladas

Marked 7.06. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Match

No goals between Haladas and Diosgyor

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Diosgyor will be the happier side with the point.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Janos Botka

Successful dribbles: 48. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

A move John Kitolano would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. John Kitolano is living that version at Haladas, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Dominik Szalai 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 Haladas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Vasas watching Tamas Szoboszlai

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Haladas have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Attila Dibusz at his very best

Marked 8.30. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Haladas.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Adam Sallai

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Haladas and John Kitolano 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.

Squad

Words at Haladas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Bence Nikolic 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.

Match

Haladas share the spoils with Honved

A 1‑1 draw with Honved leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.
