Squad

Words at Nashville SC training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Andrew Brody 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

No hiding place for Jack Maher

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

The dugout

Woobens Pacius knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Woobens Pacius trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout

Ahmed Qasem has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Ahmed Qasem has written the date down.

The dugout

Patrick Yazbek keeps his manager's vote

The message was aimed at the stands as much as the dressing room: Patrick Yazbek plays, and the argument is closed until the manager decides otherwise.

Squad

Lessons booked for Warren Madrigal at Nashville SC

Nobody writes a headline about a tutor. Nobody has to be told, either, what happens to a signing who spends two years being the man nobody can talk to at lunch.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Cristian Espinoza

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Boardroom

Nashville SC close the window on a squad of their own making

14 in and 0 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Market

Sam Surridge raises the bar for Nashville SC

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Nashville SC heard it as anything else.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Lazar Stefanovic

Nashville SC asked and Toronto FC said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Cristian Espinoza stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Cristian Espinoza and Nashville SC agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Jeisson Palacios 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 Nashville SC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Jeisson Palacios

“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

Connor Howard steps up from the Nashville SC academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Connor Howard has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Nashville SC promote Josh Steffen from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Josh Steffen has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
