Player ratings

Yanis Guermouche scores twice — 8.39

Two goals and a mark of 8.39 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Match

7 unbeaten for Slavia Sofia

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation Slavia Sofia did not have in the autumn.

Squad

Tempers go at Slavia Sofia

Iliyan Stefanov 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Uroš Ljubomirac

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Uroš Ljubomirac, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

Emil Stoev runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

8 new faces, and Slavia Sofia are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad

Lévi Ntumba lets one through his hands

A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.

Match

Yanis Guermouche rescues a point for Slavia Sofia

It needed Yanis Guermouche to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Dobrudzha, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Market

Botev Vratsa expected to open talks for Ivan Andonov

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Slavia Sofia will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Market

Levski come back empty-handed

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

Squad

Iliyan Stefanov signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Iliyan Stefanov commits to Slavia Sofia for another 3 years.

Squad

Iliyan Stefanov 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 Slavia Sofia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Slavia Sofia training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan Manuel Toloza 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

Kristiyan Stoyanov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Iliyan Stefanov was the difference for Slavia Sofia

Marked 7.97. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Market

The clock runs on Yanis Guermouche's contract

48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Match

Slavia Sofia and Montana take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Market

Still no ink between Slavia Sofia and Nikola Savić

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Slavia Sofia, another week without a signature from Nikola Savić.
