Squad

Alexandru Negru damages knee ligaments — 17 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 17 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Tempers go at CSM Reșița

Pedro Pinho 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

Berni Kassy Ghoy 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for CSM Reșița against Olimpia Satu Mare

0‑1 to Olimpia Satu Mare, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Răzvan Grădinaru

“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.

The dugout

Marius Chiriches: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Squad

A ban for Pedro Pinho

One booking too many, and a game watched from the stand. CSM Reșița lose him for the most avoidable reason in the sport.

The dugout

Nicu Modan gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Nicu Modan is on it.

The dugout

Lucas Pellegrini left out for tactical reasons at CSM Reșița

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

In brief
