Match

Slovan Bratislava through in the cup

A 1‑0 win over Spartak Myjava, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match

Slovan Bratislava up to position 1

40 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Player ratings

Nino Marcelli runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Patrik Iľko keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Slovan Bratislava may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Svetozar Marković 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 Slovan Bratislava this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

7 unbeaten for Slovan Bratislava

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation Slovan Bratislava did not have in the autumn.

Squad

Words at Slovan Bratislava training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mykola Kukharevych 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.

Match

Slovan Bratislava make home a hard place to visit

9 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Player ratings

A masterclass from David Pejičić

Marked 8.16 — 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Slovan Bratislava

Dominik Takáč 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

Svetozar Marković 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.

Squad

When it matters, Dominik Takáč 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.

Match

Slovan Bratislava are in among the leaders

Position 1 and 49 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Market

Slovan Bratislava say no — this time

The offer from MFK Ruzomberok for Artur Gajdoš was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Molik Khan says Slovan Bratislava went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Martin Vantruba hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Slovan Bratislava can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Kenan Bajrić is on his way

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

Boardroom

Kenan Bajrić signs for DAC Dunajska Streda while still at Slovan Bratislava

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Kenan Bajrić has agreed terms with DAC Dunajska Streda for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.
