Match

Haladas out of the cup

Ujpest ended it 2‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Norbert Lisztes at 19 — 8.53

The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Norbert Lisztes did not need any: 8.53, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Andras Bese

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

The terraces

Haladas sell a favourite for $280.0K

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Dominik Kleinheisler was one of the reasons people came, and $280.0K does not replace that by itself.

Market

Krisztian Fiola 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 The request is on a desk at Haladas, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Adam Sallai goes up and wins it — 7.50

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.50 for the rest of it.

Squad

Tempers go at Haladas

Janos 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.

Market

Dominik Kleinheisler moves on

Bekescsaba pay $280.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Match

Haladas see off Puskas Akademia

Three points for Haladas, 2‑1 the final word against Puskas Akademia in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Market

Haladas turn down Ferencvaros for Adam Sallai

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

Market

Szabolcs Nagy attracts admirers

The name of Szabolcs Nagy has come up in conversations Haladas were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Adam Sallai stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Adam Sallai and Haladas agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Words at Haladas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Adam Sallai 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

Tempers go at Haladas

Attila Varga 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

Marton Orban’s goal not enough for Haladas

Marton Orban scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Fehervar, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

David Dibusz gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings

Marton Orban was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.00. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Market

No place for Dominik Kleinheisler in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Dominik Kleinheisler has his answer from Haladas; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
