Squad

Ramon Azeez stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ramon Azeez and New Edubiase United agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Eric Oteng 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 New Edubiase United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Eric Oteng has improved at 29, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Boardroom

Graduation day at New Edubiase United

6 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Market

New Edubiase United promote Patrick Asamoah from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Patrick Asamoah has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

New Edubiase United promote Nana Addo from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Nana Addo has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad

Teboho Lorch: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” New Edubiase United have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Inter Allies are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. New Edubiase United will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Joke Efevwerha keeps New Edubiase United in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Yacouba Ouattara has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around New Edubiase United they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Nicolás Brun 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 New Edubiase United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Bernard Agyemang 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.

Player ratings

Abbey Benson shuts the door

Defensive actions: 19, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad

Teboho Lorch signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Teboho Lorch commits to New Edubiase United for another 3 years.

Player ratings

Eric Oteng was immovable

16 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Yacouba Ouattara

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

New Edubiase United draw a blank against Hasaacas

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Hasaacas defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.
