Mihai Tanase runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 36. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Petrolul get their man

The chase for Juraj Badelj ended with $450.0K changing hands and Universitatea Craiova out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad

Florin Mitrita 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.

Squad

Words at Petrolul training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Razvan Coman 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

5 new faces, and Petrolul 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.

Match

Petrolul share the spoils with Astra

A 1‑1 draw with Astra leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Market

Petrolul say no — this time

The offer from Torpedo Moscow for Ovidiu Mihaila 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

A one-man rearguard from Nicusor Iancu

There were 6 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.

Market

Cosmin Chiriches asks to leave Petrolul

“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.

Squad

Tempers go at Petrolul

Florin 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.

Match

6 goals as Petrolul and Pandurii go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Petrolul and Pandurii, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Squad

No hiding place for Nicusor Iancu

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

Player ratings

A masterclass from Florin Mitrita

Marked 8.29 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Match

Petrolul share the spoils with Pandurii

A 3‑3 draw with Pandurii leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad

Razvan Coman 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.
