Boubacar Konté frozen out at Zhejiang FC

This is not rotation. Boubacar Konté has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Zhejiang FC is pretending otherwise.

Transfer targets22 Jan 2029

No thanks: Ezequiel Zapata rejects the move

Zhejiang FC had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Vila Nova, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Rafael Ratão 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.

Transfer targets22 Jan 2029

Zhejiang FC rebuffed over Huang Ruifeng

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

Zhejiang FC sell Zhao Bo for $7.0K

Zhao Bo has left for Qingdao West Coast in a $7.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad22 Jan 2029

The decline has begun for Sun Guowen

Everybody saw it before anybody said it. At 35 the numbers say 3 points down on what he was, and the question for Zhejiang FC is how to handle a man they owe a great deal.

Squad22 Jan 2029

Tempers go at Zhejiang FC

Shuhei Mizoguchi 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.

The dugout22 Jan 2029

Zhang Aihui has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Zhejiang FC 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.

Zhao Binbin 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.

Tempers go at Zhejiang FC

Guilherme Ramos 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.

The dugout20 Nov 2028

Rafael Ratão 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.

The dugout20 Nov 2028

Zhang Aihui 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 Zhang Aihui is on it.

The dugout20 Nov 2028

No hiding place for Zhao Binbin

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

Market20 Nov 2028

The Rafael Ratão story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Rafael Ratão signs something — a contract at Zhejiang FC or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Market20 Nov 2028

Zhejiang FC add cover with Qi Yuxi

It is the least glamorous business a club does and the reason seasons do not collapse in February. Qi Yuxi is here for the weeks when three men are injured and somebody still has to play.

Market20 Nov 2028

Zhejiang FC put Boubacar Konté up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Boubacar Konté may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

The dugout20 Nov 2028

The manager makes Yang Shuai a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Zhejiang FC. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Squad20 Nov 2028

Bao Yaxiong has company in his position

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Bao Yaxiong keeps the shirt for now, at Zhejiang FC's convenience rather than his own.
