Squad

David Kiki breaks a bone — 89 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 89 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Eduard Chioveanu 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 Voluntari can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Voluntari say no — this time

The offer from Obolon for Matko Babić 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.

Squad

Petr Kudakovskiy 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Voluntari

Adrian Mitrita 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

Words at Voluntari training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marvin Schieb 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.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Marius Iancu

There were 7 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.

Player ratings

Adrian Tanase runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Dorin Bancu 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 Petrolul this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Business is business: Adrian Mitrita goes

Voluntari paid $660.0K and Petrolul took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Match

Petrolul come up short against Astra

Astra left with the points after a 2‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Adrian Tanase

“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

Stefan Man out for 16 days

The medical room confirms 16 days on the sidelines for Stefan Man, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Market

The Timofey Preobrazhensky conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Viitorul will make the call about Timofey Preobrazhensky this week. Petrolul have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Market

No place for Sergiu Coman in the plan

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

Squad

A fracture rules David Kiki out for 104 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Voluntari will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Voluntari get their man

The chase for Adrian Mitrita ended with $660.0K changing hands and Petrolul out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad

Luka Kukić 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 Voluntari this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Alexandr Koksharov’s goal not enough for Voluntari

Alexandr Koksharov scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Pandurii, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The terraces

$660.0K for Adrian Mitrita, and Voluntari supporters approve

Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Adrian Mitrita from Petrolul for $660.0K, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

Squad

5 new faces, and Voluntari are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Giovanni Petcu

“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.

Player ratings

Ion Gheorghe ran the game

Chances created: 9. Not on the scoresheet and not remotely anonymous — a passing performance that pulled a defence apart without leaving a mark on the column that gets read.

Market

Voluntari add cover with Petr Kudakovskiy

It is the least glamorous business a club does and the reason seasons do not collapse in February. Petr Kudakovskiy is here for the weeks when three men are injured and somebody still has to play.
