Squad

The step up is real for Ondřej Čoudek

At 21 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

Radim Breite is not the player he was

It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph a local paper has to write. 37 years old, 3 points down on where he was, and a body that has started charging interest on a career.

Squad

Daniel Samek signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Daniel Samek and Artis Brno agree another 5 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Artis Brno

Quadri Adediran 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.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Elias Cobbaut

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Artis Brno told Elias Cobbaut something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Looking ahead

Daniel Kosek faces his old club

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

The dugout

Daniel Samek knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Artis Brno, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout

The manager makes Martin Pospíšil a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Artis Brno. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Market

The Quadri Adediran talk will not go away

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Artis Brno

Daniel Kosek 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

The step up is real for Matyáš Kodera

At 18 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

A row about effort at Artis Brno

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

Squad

Jan Navrátil is slowing down

At 36, 3 points below where he was, and a body that has started charging interest. It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph on this page.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Daniel Kosek

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout

No hiding place for Radim Breite

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Radim Breite, and the manager let 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.” Karel Jankto chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

Market

Erik Otrísal is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Artis Brno has been clear about where Erik Otrísal stands, which is more than many ever get.

Match

Point won or two lost for Artis Brno?

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

Market

Ondřej Hapal 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 Artis Brno can pretend not to have heard.

Match

The wait goes on for Artis Brno

5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Market

Artis Brno say no — this time

The offer from Chrudim for Daniel Samek 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.

Market

Tomáš Vajner moves on

Ústí nad Labem pay $150.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Market

Jean-David Beauguel moves on

Slovan Liberec pay $88.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Match

3 matches without a goal for Artis Brno

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Player ratings

Daniel Kosek beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Transfer targets

Artis Brno rebuffed over Sebastian Bergier

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

Match

A bad afternoon for Artis Brno against Viktoria Žižkov

0‑1 to Viktoria Žižkov, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
