Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Gornik Leczna is running low.
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Gornik Leczna this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
In brief
SquadWords at Gornik Leczna training over how hard people work
32 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Gornik Leczna lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Gornik Leczna can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Gornik Leczna is pretending he will be back in the shirt.
Henrich Ravas 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.

“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 The request is on a desk at Gornik Leczna, and it is not being withdrawn.
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Gornik Leczna have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

“The easiest signature of my career.” Branislav Spáčil and Gornik Leczna agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Gornik Leczna will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Words at Gornik Leczna training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Branislav Pindroch 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.
“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Gornik Leczna has been clear about where David Ogaga stands, which is more than many ever get.
