The Pandurii Chronicle

Bogdan Puscas 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 Pandurii can pretend not to have heard.

Miloš Pantović scored one and made one — 7.85
Two of the goals had his name somewhere on them, which is the afternoon a manager wants from anybody asked to both create and finish. 7.85, and 2 involvements.

Miloš Pantović 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 Pandurii this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Sergiu Ratiu 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.

The manager makes an example of Jonathan Salvador
“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.

Yefim Yefimov in the eights
A performance of 8.42 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Pandurii count the cost of losing Andrei Coman
50 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Pandurii share the spoils with Astra
A 2‑2 draw with Astra leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Everybody has an opinion about Cristian Burca
He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.
