From our football correspondent Steady

The terraces20 Aug 2029

The mood at Vasas has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Player ratings20 Aug 2029

Vintage András Radó — 8.10

At 35 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.10, and nobody on the pitch better.

Market20 Aug 2029

Milán Kis is on his way

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

Squad20 Aug 2029

Words exchanged at Vasas

Patrick Iyinbor 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.

Squad20 Aug 2029

Words at Vasas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Victor Gey 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.

Transfer targets20 Aug 2029

Südtirol tell Vasas: Rendijs Mihelsons 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.

Match18 Aug 2029

Vasas see off Bekescsaba

Three points for Vasas, 2‑1 the final word against Bekescsaba in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The terraces20 Aug 2029

One of their own: Gabor Lang

He is 19 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Player ratings20 Aug 2029

A masterclass from Bence Banó-Szabó

Marked 8.36 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

The terraces2 Apr 2029

The mood at Vasas has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Squad2 Apr 2029

Jozef Urblik breaks a bone — 53 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 53 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Boardroom2 Apr 2029

The scrutiny sharpens at Vasas

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Vasas is running low.

Squad2 Apr 2029

Tempers go at Vasas

Bence Pethő 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.

Squad2 Apr 2029

Words at Vasas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Attila Csaba Girsik 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 dugout2 Apr 2029

Patrick Iyinbor 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 Patrick Iyinbor is on it.

Squad2 Apr 2029

A promotion for Máté Ódor

Not a new contract, not a new number: a new place in the manager’s thinking, which is the only promotion in football that actually matters. Máté Ódor has moved up it.

The dugout2 Apr 2029

The manager makes an example of Gabor Lang

“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.

The dugout2 Apr 2029

Marin Jurina asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

From our football correspondent Crisis

The terraces1 May 2028

Supporters organise against the Vasas board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Squad1 May 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for András Radó

34 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Vasas lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market1 May 2028

Benjámin Cseke puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Vasas, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad1 May 2028

A falling-out at Vasas

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

Squad1 May 2028

Patrick Iyinbor 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 dugout1 May 2028

Bence Banó-Szabó has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Vasas 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.

The dugout1 May 2028

Marin Jurina without the man who signed him

Every squad is half players the manager chose and half players he inherited. Marin Jurina was chosen, the man who chose him has gone, and he starts again from nothing under the next one.

Market1 May 2028

The Milán Tóth talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Vasas know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad1 May 2028

Vasas have started building around Áron Doktorics

He used to be one of the options. He is now one of the men the options are picked around, and the change happened quietly enough that only the dressing room noticed on the day.
