Squad

Kristian Tomov signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Kristian Tomov commits to Cherno More for another 4 years.

Squad

Jan Morávek is a square peg at Cherno More

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Looking ahead

Plamen Iliev goes back to face Levski

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Plamen Iliev’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Cherno More needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Market

Asen Donchev linked with a move away

The name of Asen Donchev keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Cherno More say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

The manager makes Rosen Stefanov a promise

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

Squad

A season on the outside for Jan Morávek

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Cherno More has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

Squad

Vlatko Drobarov wants to know why he earns less

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and Cherno More have no good answer.

Market

Stilyan Chochev leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Stilyan Chochev leaves Cherno More the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Market

Levski send scouts to watch Celso Sidney

Two seats in the directors' box were spoken for, and the name in the notebook was Celso Sidney. Nothing has been offered yet.

In brief

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

Lokomotiv Sofia take the points off Cherno More

Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Zhivko Atanasov 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 Cherno More this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

David Teles 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.

Player ratings

Asen Donchev beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

A row about effort at Cherno More

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

Squad

Cherno More are still strangers to each other

9 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 dugout

Georgi Sarmov faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Georgi Sarmov after 1‑3, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad

Jan Morávek signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jan Morávek commits to Cherno More for another 1 years.

Player ratings

Zhivko Atanasov's mistake decides it

Ten men and a goalkeeper behind him, and it still finished in the net. He knew before anybody told him, and nobody at Cherno More needed to.
