Market3 Mar 2036

Only the photograph left for Espen van Ee

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Espen van Ee will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Lech the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Player ratings3 Mar 2036

Gabriele Calvani pops up at the right end — 7.54

7.54, 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.

Market3 Mar 2036

Benedict Hollerbach wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Lech hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad3 Mar 2036

Tempers go at Lech

Benedict Hollerbach 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.

Squad3 Mar 2036

Defences have started doubling up on Javi Hernàndez

8 goals and a season average of 7.46 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Match1 Mar 2036

Lech get the job done against Zaglebie

A 1‑0 win over Zaglebie, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad3 Mar 2036

A row about effort at Lech

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

Player ratings3 Mar 2036

Ninety minutes of Javi Hernàndez at his very best

Marked 8.09. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Lech.

Squad3 Mar 2036

A month that belonged to Mateusz Buksa

The young player of the month award goes to a 21-year-old at Lech who has looked like the finished article for four weekends running. The next four are the ones that decide whether he is.

Market21 Jan 2036

Michal Lewandowski agrees terms with Wieczysta Kraków

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Lech people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market21 Jan 2036

Mateusz Buksa asks to leave Lech

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets21 Jan 2036

Rafal Piatek turns down Lech

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Korona keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad21 Jan 2036

Words exchanged at Lech

Amine Chabane 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.

Transfer targets21 Jan 2036

Lech rebuffed over Lukasz Linetty

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

Match19 Jan 2036

Lech find a way past ŁKS Łódź

ŁKS Łódź made Lech work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings21 Jan 2036

Javi Hernàndez in the eights

A performance of 8.52 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad21 Jan 2036

Espen van Ee 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 dugout21 Jan 2036

Javi Hernàndez 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 Javi Hernàndez is on it.
