Squad

Mikel Gogorza is the real thing at 20

A season average of 7.17 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. FC Midtjylland know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.

Squad

Darío Osorio 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 FC Midtjylland this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Martin Erlić wants more than FC Midtjylland are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad

A row about effort at FC Midtjylland

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Rasmus Kristensen was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Mathias Andersen is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Alexander Hojlund steps up from the FC Midtjylland academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Alexander Hojlund 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Ousmane Diao

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

In brief
