A falling-out at Breidablik

Benoný Breki Andrésson and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Rafal Stefán Daníelsson 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.

The dugout

A door opens for Andri Rafn Yeoman

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Words exchanged at Breidablik

Benoný Breki Andrésson 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.

Squad

Ágúst Orri Þorsteinsson stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ágúst Orri Þorsteinsson and Breidablik agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout

Viktor Örn Margeirsson 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.

The dugout

Höskuldur Gunnlaugsson has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Breidablik 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.

The dugout

Davíð Ingvarsson knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Davíð Ingvarsson trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The Kristófer Ingi Kristinsson story refuses to die

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

Birkir Þorsteinsson signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Birkir Þorsteinsson and Breidablik agree another 4 years.

Squad

A row about effort at Breidablik

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Gabríel Aron Sævarsson

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

The dugout

A door opens for Andri Rafn Yeoman

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Market

The Kristinn Steindórsson talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Breidablik know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad

Dagur Örn Fjeldsted: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Breidablik will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Breidablik this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Birkir Þorsteinsson is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 17 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Benoný Breki Andrésson

“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 dugout

When it matters, Höskuldur Gunnlaugsson plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

One of our own: Birkir Thorsteinsson joins the Breidablik first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Birkir Thorsteinsson is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Olafur Smarason steps up from the Breidablik academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Olafur Smarason has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

$3.7M on the table at Breidablik

The board have answered with money instead of encouragement, which is the only answer a manager ever wants. Spending it well is now entirely his problem.

Davíð Ingvarsson slips down the pecking order

The demotion a club never announces and a dressing room always notices. Davíð Ingvarsson is further from the side than he was, and the reason will not be given until he asks.

Squad

The month belongs to Kristófer Ingi Kristinsson

The award is a small thing with a heavy meaning: for four weeks nobody in this division did his job better. Breidablik have the trophy on a shelf and the player in the side.

Squad

A place in the month's best eleven for Viktor Örn Margeirsson

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Viktor Örn Margeirsson has come out of that comparison in the side, and Breidablik have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Player ratings

Höskuldur Gunnlaugsson beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 36. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Tempers go at Breidablik

Höskuldur Gunnlaugsson 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

Whatever happens, Breidablik do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Kristinn Jónsson

A mark of 7.39, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout

When it matters, Höskuldur Gunnlaugsson plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Sigurdur Sigurdsson chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

Match

Point won or two lost for Breidablik?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against FH? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

The plan did not have a place for Andri Rafn Yeoman

Nobody at Breidablik is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Position 3 and 16 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Player ratings

Benoný Breki Andrésson, 21, steals the show — 7.66

Marked 7.66 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Match

Breidablik make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Breidablik have 3 straight wins of it.

Player ratings

Höskuldur Gunnlaugsson runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Words exchanged at Breidablik

Höskuldur Gunnlaugsson 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.

The terraces

Breidablik supporters have found a favourite in Benoný Breki Andrésson

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Benoný Breki Andrésson has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Benoný Breki Andrésson sends Breidablik past IA

It finished 2‑0, and it was Benoný Breki Andrésson’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Breidablik.

Top-of-the-table clash for Breidablik

FH next, and the two sides the division is watching meet each other. Whoever wins will be told nothing is decided in the same breath as being congratulated.

Match

No mercy from Breidablik

Keflavik will want this one forgotten quickly: 4‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Breidablik were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Squad

A day Kristófer Ingi Kristinsson will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Squad

Anton Ari Einarsson keeps Breidablik in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings

Kristófer Ingi Kristinsson was on a different afternoon to everybody else

9.64. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

A satisfied Sigurdur Sigurdsson

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 4‑0, Sigurdur Sigurdsson could afford to be generous.

Player ratings

Viktor Örn Margeirsson was immovable

14 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Successful dribbles: 28. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Player ratings

Birkir Þorsteinsson, 17, plays like he has been here for years — 7.70

A mark of 7.70 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 17-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Player ratings

Up for the corner, and Viktor Karl Einarsson delivers — 7.77

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Viktor Karl Einarsson scored, was marked 7.77, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Match

6 goals as Breidablik and IBV go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Breidablik and IBV, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Match

Breidablik see off IBV

Three points for Breidablik, 4‑2 the final word against IBV in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The terraces

One of their own: Óli Valur Ómarsson

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Höskuldur Gunnlaugsson is on it.

The dugout

Sigurdur Sigurdsson on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Sigurdur Sigurdsson after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

Looking ahead

Aron Bjarnason faces his old club

IBV next, and one man in the Breidablik dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Match

Breidablik bow out of the cup

Vikingur go through and Breidablik go home, 0‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Kristinn Steindórsson yet — 8.41

At 36 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.41 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Transfer targets

Trofim Melnichenko turns down Breidablik

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Porto keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Player ratings

Valgeir Valgeirsson beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 23. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Rafal Stefán Daníelsson 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 Breidablik this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Yoël van den Ban

Breidablik asked and AZ said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match

Breidablik find a way past Stjarnan

Stjarnan made Breidablik work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The dugout

Rafal Stefán Daníelsson 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.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Kristófer Ingi Kristinsson

Marked 8.40 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

Óli Valur Ómarsson was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 30. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 18 signed and 1 gone

That is the business done at Breidablik until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Squad

Tempers go at Breidablik

Rafal Stefán Daníelsson 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Giacomo Corona

Breidablik asked and Palermo said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match

Breidablik come up short against Valur

Valur left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

No hiding place for Anton Ari Einarsson

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

The dugout

Sigurdur Sigurdsson faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Sigurdur Sigurdsson after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Transfer targets

Breidablik try to borrow Benoný Breki Andrésson

Stockport County have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Trofim Melnichenko is in the works

Breidablik have made the call to Porto. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Market

Stefan Bodvarsson turns Fjolnir down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Höskuldur Gunnlaugsson

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

Transfer targets

Jur Schipper turns down Breidablik

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: AZ keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Boardroom

Breidablik to lose Davíð Ingvarsson for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Davíð Ingvarsson has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad

Viktor Karl Einarsson signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Viktor Karl Einarsson commits to Breidablik for another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Breidablik

Höskuldur Gunnlaugsson 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.

Market

Keflavik watching Davíð Ingvarsson

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Breidablik have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Transfer targets

Borussia Dortmund tell Breidablik: Silas Ostrzinski is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market

Breidablik promote Runar Finnbogason from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Runar Finnbogason has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad

Andri Rafn Yeoman: 17 seasons and counting

309 appearances across 17 seasons in one shirt. Careers like that are not built on purpose any more, and Breidablik know exactly what they have.

Player ratings

Ágúst Orri Þorsteinsson, 21, steals the show — 7.78

Marked 7.78 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Player ratings

Aron Bjarnason beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 25. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Kristinn Jónsson signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Kristinn Jónsson commits to Breidablik for another 2 years.

Squad

Höskuldur Gunnlaugsson 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 Breidablik this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Breidablik get the job done against Fylkir

A 3‑2 win over Fylkir, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Transfer targets

Breidablik rebuffed over Benoný Breki Andrésson

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Stockport County have kept their man, and Breidablik go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The terraces

One of their own: Ágúst Orri Þorsteinsson

He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Squad

Rafal Stefán Daníelsson has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Breidablik know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

In brief
