Can Bozdogan: 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.” SC Freiburg have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings21 Jan 2036

Age has not caught Ismael Saibari yet — 7.92

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.92 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Player ratings21 Jan 2036

Sota Kitano runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad21 Jan 2036

Tempers go at SC Freiburg

Eren Dinkçi 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.

Squad21 Jan 2036

Derry Scherhant gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad21 Jan 2036

Patrick Osterhage 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.

Match19 Jan 2036

SC Freiburg find a way past Borussia Mönchengladbach

Borussia Mönchengladbach made SC Freiburg work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Market21 Jan 2036

SC Freiburg sign Memphis Simons, one for the future

Memphis Simons is 19, and SC Freiburg have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market21 Jan 2036

The Maximilian Brüll conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Mainz 05 will make the call about Maximilian Brüll this week. SC Freiburg have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

A winner's medal for Ansu Fati

The club had no hand in it and the town will claim it anyway, which is exactly as it should be. 36 caps now, a summer that will define how his name is said for the rest of his career, and a manager quietly wondering what it does to a man's appetite for a wet Tuesday.

Squad10 Jul 2034

The summer ends badly for Stanis Idumbo

Losing a final is a specific injury and it does not show up on any scan. 34 caps, a tournament that went further than anybody expected and stopped one game short, and a man who now has a domestic season to start from a standing position.

Squad10 Jul 2034

A knee injury of the worst kind for Roman Volochay

90 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Monaco lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market10 Jul 2034

Serpeta puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Monaco, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad10 Jul 2034

Tempers go at Monaco

Stanis Idumbo 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.

Market10 Jul 2034

Monaco say no — this time

The offer from Angers SCO for Jassim Djelloul was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Roman Volochay

111 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Monaco lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market19 Jun 2034

Monaco turn down Sochaux for Hervé Dupuis

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad19 Jun 2034

Stanis Idumbo 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 Monaco this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad19 Jun 2034

Benjamin Brantlind 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.

Squad19 Jun 2034

Monaco count the cost of losing Matteo Lontani

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

Market19 Jun 2034

The Jean-Luc Lemoine conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Red Star will make the call about Jean-Luc Lemoine this week. Monaco have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Serpeta

Only the photograph left for Hervé Dupuis

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Hervé Dupuis will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Monaco the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Kian Spence is on his way

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

Stanis Idumbo 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.

Squad15 May 2034

Matthis Abline has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Monaco will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market15 May 2034

The Ansu Fati story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Ansu Fati signs something — a contract at Monaco or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
