Market

CSKA Sofia come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Dunav Ruse did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Words exchanged at Dunav Ruse

Chidera Micheal and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A row about effort at Dunav Ruse

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Fabrice N'Sakala was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Joël Zwarts

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

Match

A bad afternoon for Dunav Ruse against Vihren

0‑2 to Vihren, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

Ivaylo Nedelchev attracts admirers

The name of Ivaylo Nedelchev has come up in conversations Dunav Ruse were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Dunav Ruse lose Boris Nedelev

30 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The dugout

Tiago André gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout

Danail Nedelev faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Danail Nedelev after 0‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Match

The small margins put Dunav Ruse out

Out, 0‑0 to Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Transfer targets

Dunav Ruse agree $38.0K for Ivaylo Nedelchev

The clubs have shaken hands with Arda; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Player ratings

Kiril Angelov pops up at the right end — 7.21

7.21, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad

A falling-out at Dunav Ruse

Fabrice N'Sakala and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Dunav Ruse rebuffed over Christ Longville

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

Squad

Borislav Marinov 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

Borislav Marinov gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Dunav Ruse

12 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Player ratings

Sevi Idriz runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Borislav Marinov wins it after the whistle should have gone

90 minutes played. Borislav Marinov found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Fratria went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Boris Gruev

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

Chidera Micheal arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Chidera Micheal has, at Dunav Ruse, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Player ratings

Borislav Marinov, 21, steals the show — 7.68

Marked 7.68 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Transfer targets

Dunav Ruse bid $1.9M for Franco Fagúndez

The offer went to Estudiantes this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad

Fabrice N'Sakala stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Fabrice N'Sakala and Dunav Ruse agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Fabrice N'Sakala 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 Dunav Ruse this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Goianésia tell Dunav Ruse: Renato Santos is not for sale

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.

Market

Martin Sarmov steps up from the Dunav Ruse academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Martin Sarmov 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
