8 saves: Igor Vekić was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Vejle turn down Hillerød for Thomas Gundelund
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Shqipon Bektasi: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Vejle have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Julian Eyestone is a medical away from Vejle

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Tempers go at Vejle
Stefan Velkov 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.
Match17 Jul 2027
FC Copenhagen take the points off Vejle
Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

No hiding place for Thomas Gundelund
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Thomas Gundelund, and the manager let it.
