Player ratings

Aljoša Matko runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 34. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

No end in sight to Ujpest's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Ujpest has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Iuri Medeiros 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 Ujpest this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Arne Maier 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.

Squad

Iván Benítez 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.

Boardroom

Wages eat 108% of everything Ujpest earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Market

Ujpest and Federico Bicoro are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

Patrizio Stronati named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Patrizio Stronati is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Match

No goals between Ujpest and Puskas Akademia

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Puskas Akademia will be the happier side with the point.

Market

Ferencvaros come back empty-handed

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

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Iuri Medeiros

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Ujpest

Iuri Medeiros 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Ujpest against Puskas Akademia

1‑2 to Puskas Akademia, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Riccardo Piscitelli

“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.

Squad

Ujpest pick somebody else ahead of Péter Szappanos

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

In brief
