Match

A hiding for Diosgyor

Beaten 0‑3 by Ferencvaros, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Squad

Krisztián Hegyi keeps Diosgyor in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Boardroom

Diosgyor tie Peter Kleinheisler down

A new deal for the man in the dugout, and the clearest thing a board can say without calling a press conference about it. Stability is cheap to promise and expensive to deliver.

Market

Gergő Kocsis is a Diosgyor player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Squad

Krisztián Hegyi 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 Diosgyor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Diosgyor

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad

Marco Lund 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Krisztián Hegyi

“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.

Market

Mate Gazdag steps up from the Diosgyor academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mate Gazdag 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.

In brief
