Tempers go at Vaduz

Dória 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.

A row about effort at Vaduz

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

No hiding place for Sebastian Jakubiak

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Sebastian Jakubiak, and the manager let it.

Mischa Beeli asks to leave Vaduz

“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.

Tempers go at Vaduz

Ayo Akinola 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.

Words at Vaduz training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dória is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The manager makes an example of Niklas Lang

“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 formation has left Gabriel Perea behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Vaduz will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

A season on the outside for Dória

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Vaduz has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

Mischa Beeli asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Mario Lezcano Morán 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 Mario Lezcano Morán has written the date down.

The window shut and Jonathan de Donno is still in the building

Vaduz spent a month trying to move him and nobody rang back. He trains with a squad that has told him where he stands, and both sides start counting down to the next one.
