István Albert hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Bekescsaba can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Zsombor Gruber, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.91

A mark of 7.91 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Slobodan Sladojević 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 Bekescsaba this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Partizan tell Bekescsaba: Nemanja Trifunović 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

The crowd has taken to Zsombor Gruber

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Bekescsaba find a way past Szentlőrinc

Szentlőrinc made Bekescsaba work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Words at Bekescsaba training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Roland Mikló 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.

Squad

Slobodan Sladojević needs a bigger stage

He is doing things every Saturday that nobody around him can answer. It is flattering for a season and a problem after that, and Bekescsaba know which stage they are at.

Squad

Bekescsaba lose Mate Sallai

20 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

In brief
