David Botka damages knee ligaments — 19 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 19 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

The dugout27 Mar 2028

Balázs Bese says Fehervar went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad27 Mar 2028

Tempers go at Fehervar

João Victor 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.

Squad27 Mar 2028

Words at Fehervar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Aleksandar Jovičić 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 dugout27 Mar 2028

The manager makes an example of Csaba Spandler

“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.

Market27 Mar 2028

The Donát Zsótér talk will not go away

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

Squad20 Mar 2028

The knee: David Botka out for 26 days

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

Market20 Mar 2028

Only the photograph left for Luka Stojanović

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Luka Stojanović will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Fehervar the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Words exchanged at Fehervar

Aleksandar Jovičić 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 Mar 2028

Words at Fehervar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Enzo Koffi 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.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Fehervar are still strangers to each other

5 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout20 Mar 2028

No hiding place for Luka Stojanović

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Luka Stojanović, and the manager let it.

The dugout20 Mar 2028

Donát Zsótér knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Fehervar, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout20 Mar 2028

Luka Stojanović 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 Luka Stojanović is on it.

Market20 Mar 2028

Bence Bedi linked with a move away

The name of Bence Bedi keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Fehervar say nothing, which says plenty.

In brief

  • Market The shop window has Patrik Kovács in it
  • The dugout The manager makes Marlon a promise
  • Boardroom The Fehervar production line keeps running

Squad13 Mar 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for David Botka

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

Match13 Mar 2028

Fehervar finish in position 3

49 points, and the season has a number on it. Whatever it felt like from the inside, this is what it will look like in a book.

Match13 Mar 2028

Fehervar up to position 3

49 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Match11 Mar 2028

Still nobody has beaten Fehervar

The unbeaten run reaches 9. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

The dugout13 Mar 2028

Bence Babos says Fehervar went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad13 Mar 2028

Words exchanged at Fehervar

Cristian Mihai 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.

Words at Fehervar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Enzo Koffi 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 terraces13 Mar 2028

One of their own: Enzo Koffi

He is 22 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.

The dugout13 Mar 2028

The manager makes an example of Gergely Nagy

“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.

In brief

  • Player ratings Enzo Koffi was on a different afternoon to everybody else
  • Player ratings Zalán Vancsa did the work nobody counts — 7.07
  • The dugout João Victor left out for the big one

Squad6 Mar 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for David Botka

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

Match4 Mar 2028

8 unbeaten for Fehervar

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 8 matches without defeat is a foundation Fehervar did not have in the autumn.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Bence Bedi stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Bence Bedi and Fehervar agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Tempers go at Fehervar

Cristian Mihai 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.

Squad6 Mar 2028

A row about effort at Fehervar

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

The dugout6 Mar 2028

The manager makes an example of Donát Zsótér

“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 dugout6 Mar 2028

The team sheet said everything about Aleksandar Jovičić

Warm-up bib, ninety minutes of watching, and a handshake at the end that fooled nobody. Big matches tell you who a manager trusts; this one told Aleksandar Jovičić.

Market6 Mar 2028

Fehervar and Gergely Nagy are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market6 Mar 2028

A year in the wrong dressing room for Botond Kemenes

He went out to keep goal every week and came back with 0 games and 0 of them shut out. Somebody at Fehervar argued for this move last summer; nobody is arguing for it now.
