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 The request is on a desk at Haladas, and it is not being withdrawn.

Words at Haladas training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mate Gulacsi 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.
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.
Mate Gulacsi 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.
Marton 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.

“The easiest signature of my career.” Marton Varga and Haladas agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Racing Genk moved on, Laszlo Szalai reports back to Haladas, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 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.

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Zoltan Gulacsi is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.
Some goals win a match and some take one off somebody else. Laszlo Szalai scored in the 85th minute, Fehervar had already begun thinking about the journey home, and Haladas took the lot.
Player ratings26 Oct 2026
Zoltan Gulacsi, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.70
A mark of 7.70 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Zoltan Gulacsi has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
7.36, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.
“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 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.

“I watch every Haladas game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Debrecen runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.
