“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 The request is on a desk at Breidablik, and it is not being withdrawn.

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

Piotr Pyrdoł 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.

“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; Breidablik are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Enis Gavazaj falls out with a teammate over standards
