5 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.
Milan Majstorović 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.

Ádám Lang 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.
It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Debrecen told Milan Majstorović something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.
Patrik Demjén 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 unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Words at Debrecen training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ádám Lang 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.
“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Debrecen know it.
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Debrecen this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

In brief
SquadÁdám Lang falls out with a teammate over standards
Đorđe Gordić, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.80
A mark of 7.80 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.

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Julien Dacosta has his answer from Debrecen; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Debrecen have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.
Nobody at Debrecen 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.
Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 86th, and Paksi spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.
Ádám Lang 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.
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Debrecen, another week without a signature from Balázs Dzsudzsák.
Still no offer on the table, and Ádám Lang’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.
