Squad

Tempers go at Astra

Milan Majstorović 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

Dragos Tanase 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.

Squad

A muscle injury and 14 days out for Luc Barré

The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Astra will quote 14 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Match

Astra bow out of the cup

Dinamo Bucharest go through and Astra go home, 0‑3 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Match

Astra are in among the leaders

Position 2 and 31 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Squad

Ionut Balasa keeps Astra in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

The terraces

A cup embarrassment at Dinamo Bucharest follows Astra home

0-3. Going out of a cup is one afternoon; going out like that is a week of phone-ins, and the manager will hear every one of them.

Squad

Monday Etim 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 Astra this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Astra dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Squad

Words at Astra training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alexandru Stanciu 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.

The dugout

Daniel Burca faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Daniel Burca after 0‑3, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout

No hiding place for Sergiu Nedelcearu

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Sergiu Nedelcearu, and the manager let it.
