The Viitorul Sentinel

From our football correspondent Steady

Market

Viitorul turn down Torpedo Moscow for Vlad Moldovan

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

Market

Ionut Ratiu asks to leave Viitorul

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

The Pandurii deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Claudiu Deac reports back to Viitorul with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad

Bogdan Ratiu 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 Viitorul this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Viitorul training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Paul Puscas 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Vlad Moldovan

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Viitorul count the cost of losing Ovidiu Nedelcearu

45 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Miguel Medina

“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

Paul Puscas stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.29 on the card, and the Viitorul support went home talking about one name.

The Lokomotiva Zagreb Courier

From our football correspondent Triumph

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Franco Di Santo

119 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Lokomotiva Zagreb lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Leonardo Sigali yet — 7.92

At 39 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.92 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Match

Lokomotiva Zagreb cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad

Words at Lokomotiva Zagreb training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Leonardo Sigali 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 Lokomotiva Zagreb

Dragos 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.

The terraces

Lokomotiva Zagreb supporters have found a favourite in Aleks Stojaković

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Aleks Stojaković 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.

Match

Leonardo Sigali the difference as Lokomotiva Zagreb beat Slaven Belupo

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Leonardo Sigali. 1‑0 against Slaven Belupo, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Dragos Mitrita

“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.

Market

The Petar Andrić conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Sibenik will make the call about Petar Andrić this week. Lokomotiva Zagreb have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.
