Squad

Tempers go at Aalborg

Birger Meling 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.

Squad

Words at Aalborg training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mathijs Tielemans 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

Marc Nielsen gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Marc Nielsen is on it.

Market

Marokhy Ndione linked with a move away

The name of Marokhy Ndione keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Aalborg say nothing, which says plenty.

Market

Bjarne Pudel runs his contract down

5 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Aalborg money.

The dugout

A door opens for Marc Nielsen

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

The dugout

Davide Munari 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 Davide Munari trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Boardroom

The Aalborg academy earns its keep

26 graduates, from a department now rated 9 out of 20. Nothing about the academy appears in a result, and nothing about the club’s future exists without it.

Squad

Adam Andersson is the talk of the training ground

Sharpest man there all week, by every account. It is the quietest line on this page and it usually runs the week before somebody’s run in the side begins.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

The knee: Mikkel Kallesøe out for 14 days

14 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Aalborg lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

50 days out for Benjamin Tiedemann Hansen after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Aalborg will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market

Mpho Mathebula asks to leave Aalborg

“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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Erik Botheim

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

Market

Lorenzo Maasland is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Aalborg is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

A falling-out at Aalborg

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

Squad

The step up is real for Chichi Capo

At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Market

Lukas Dalsgaard steps up from the Aalborg academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Lukas Dalsgaard 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

One of our own: Nikolaj Andersen joins the Aalborg first team

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