The terraces

The mood at Viborg has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Market

Daniel Anyembe asks to leave Viborg

“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.

Player ratings

Sami Jalal runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Andreas Søndergaard’s move to FC Fredericia falls through

The deal that would have taken Andreas Søndergaard to FC Fredericia has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Viborg with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Squad

A falling-out at Viborg

Mees Hoedemakers and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Viborg rebuffed over Damian van Bruggen

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. AC Horsens have kept their man, and Viborg go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Daniel Anyembe 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.

Match

Dorian Hanza’s goal not enough for Viborg

Dorian Hanza scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Esbjerg, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Elías Rafn Ólafsson

“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.

In brief
