The dugout

Yamirou Ouorou: 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.” Middelfart have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Tempers go at Middelfart

Kamilcan Sever 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

Mads Greve is not the player he was

It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph a local paper has to write. 37 years old, 3 points down on where he was, and a body that has started charging interest on a career.

The dugout

Middelfart keep their word to Lasse Flø

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Squad

Peter Matiebel 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.

The dugout

Thomas Hagelskjær is still paying for one afternoon at Middelfart

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Lasse Flø at 20 — 7.73

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Lasse Flø did not need any: 7.73, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Fran Vélez signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Fran Vélez commits to Middelfart for another 1 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Middelfart

Kamilcan Sever and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

Kamilcan Sever the difference as Middelfart beat Esbjerg

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Kamilcan Sever. 2‑1 against Esbjerg, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Peter Matiebel

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad

No place for Fran Vélez in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Middelfart are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Squad

A row about effort at Middelfart

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

Boardroom

Wages swallow 85% of the Middelfart income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

The dugout

The form table has caught Thomas Hagelskjær

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.
