Squad

A falling-out at Szentlőrinc

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

Squad

Péter Kiss-Szemán 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 dugout

No hiding place for Bálint Ferencsik

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

The dugout

Péter Kiss-Szemán has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Szentlőrinc will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Looking ahead

István Harsányi goes back to face Budafoki MTE

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is István Harsányi’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Szentlőrinc needing him to play as if none of it matters.

The dugout

István Harsányi knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Szentlőrinc, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

A move Obren Cvijanović would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Obren Cvijanović is living that version at Szentlőrinc, and it tends to show in the first month.

Transfer targets

Botond Baráth turns down Szentlőrinc

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Vasas keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Transfer targets

An offer of $130.0K for Bálint Ferencsik

Szentlőrinc have gone to Kazincbarcika with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad

Tempers go at Szentlőrinc

István Harsányi 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.

Player ratings

The game went through Aleksandar Rac — 7.03

Marked 7.03 on 13 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

Match

Soroksár take the points off Szentlőrinc

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market

Laszlo Botka steps up from the Szentlőrinc academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Laszlo Botka 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

Szentlőrinc promote Daniel Szalai from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Daniel Szalai 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.

Market

Tamas Bese steps up from the Szentlőrinc academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Tamas Bese 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.
