Market

Cheick Mamadou Diabaté 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 The request is on a desk at Wolfsberger AC, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Gabala come back empty-handed

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

Player ratings

Donis Avdijaj beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Joris Boguo

Wolfsberger AC asked and SV Ried 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

Wolfsberger AC see off Grodig

Three points for Wolfsberger AC, 2‑1 the final word against Grodig in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Lovre Rogić

“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.

Squad

Appearance number 200 for Dominik Fitz

200 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.

Squad

Words at Wolfsberger AC training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Boris Matić 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.

Player ratings

One of those days for Angelo Gattermayer

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.13, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

A brace, and Giacomo Vrioni takes the afternoon — 9.17

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Giacomo Vrioni provided it, and the 9.17 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

A row about effort at Wolfsberger AC

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

Match

Giacomo Vrioni the difference as Wolfsberger AC beat Rapid Wien

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Giacomo Vrioni. 3‑1 against Rapid Wien, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

Cheick Mamadou Diabaté 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 Wolfsberger AC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Manchester City tell Wolfsberger AC: Pierce Charles 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.

The terraces

Wolfsberger AC supporters have found a favourite in Boris Matić

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Boris Matić has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Market

Mattersburg watching Tobias Gruber

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Wolfsberger AC have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Match

Giacomo Vrioni at the heart of a fast Wolfsberger AC start

2 goals inside twenty minutes with Giacomo Vrioni in the middle of it, and Rapid Wien unable to get near the ball long enough to change anything. Some matches are won before the first drink.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Thomas Ilsanker kept it short after the 3‑1 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

Transfer targets

Leon Bätge turns down Wolfsberger AC

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

Transfer targets

Wolfsberger AC rebuffed over Matthias Seidl

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Wolfsberger AC

Donis Avdijaj 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

Nicolas Wimmer 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.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Wolfsberger AC

8 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.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Thomas Ilsanker was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Wolfsberger AC dressing room was either.

Match

No goals between Wolfsberger AC and Red Bull Salzburg

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Red Bull Salzburg will be the happier side with the point.

Squad

Lovre Rogić remains an outsider

A year in and the city has not opened up, the language has not come, and lunch is eaten alone more often than anybody at Wolfsberger AC would admit. It shows on Saturdays.

The dugout

The plan did not have a place for Cheick Mamadou Diabaté

Nobody at Wolfsberger AC is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

In brief
