Match

Still nobody has beaten Olimpia Satu Mare

The unbeaten run reaches 30. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Match

Nobody wins at Olimpia Satu Mare

17 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Market

Nestorly Lumbu 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 Olimpia Satu Mare can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Defences have started doubling up on Kévin Mbala

22 goals and a season average of 7.22 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

The dugout

Răzvan Prodan: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Olimpia Satu Mare have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Márk Karácsony is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Olimpia Satu Mare is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Tempers go at Olimpia Satu Mare

Kévin Mbala 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

Home is on Nestorly Lumbu's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Olimpia Satu Mare are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad

Bogdan Marian 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.

Market

Vadim Calugher asks to leave Olimpia Satu Mare

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Boardroom

Olimpia Satu Mare close the window on a squad of their own making

14 in and 0 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Squad

A row about effort at Olimpia Satu Mare

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

Transfer targets

Olimpia Satu Mare rebuffed over Guilherme Soares

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Petrolul Ploiești have kept their man, and Olimpia Satu Mare go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Tempers go at Olimpia Satu Mare

Nestorly Lumbu 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

Olimpia Satu Mare count the cost of losing Răzvan Prodan

16 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Mickaël Panos is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Mickaël Panos has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Looking ahead

Bogdan Ungureanu faces his old club

Corvinul Hunedoara next, and one man in the Olimpia Satu Mare dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

The dugout

Vadim Calugher has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Vadim Calugher has written the date down.

In brief
