Market7 Dec 2026

Martin Králik puts it in writing

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 The request is on a desk at Mlada Boleslav, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Maks Ebong 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 Mlada Boleslav this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Words at Mlada Boleslav training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Christophe Kabongo 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.

Loan watch7 Dec 2026

Tomáš Horák counts the days

“I watch every Mlada Boleslav game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Pardubice runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Match5 Dec 2026

A bad afternoon for Mlada Boleslav against Zlin

0‑2 to Zlin, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout7 Dec 2026

Patrik Brabec faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Patrik Brabec after 0‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad7 Dec 2026

A place in the month's best eleven for Christophe Kabongo

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Christophe Kabongo has come out of that comparison in the side, and Mlada Boleslav have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

The dugout7 Dec 2026

The manager makes an example of David Kozel

“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 dugout7 Dec 2026

The manager has not finished forgetting Ondřej Karafiát's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Mlada Boleslav

Maks Ebong 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.

Match17 Oct 2026

Teplice take the points off Mlada Boleslav

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad19 Oct 2026

200 appearances for Jiří Klíma

200 games in these colours. Service of that kind gets rarer every season, and the crowd knows it.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Denis Donát 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.

Squad19 Oct 2026

8 new faces, and Mlada Boleslav are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Loan watch19 Oct 2026

Stefan Jovanoski has seen enough of Gloria Bistrița

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Mlada Boleslav, and 0 appearances in 6 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Patrik Brabec answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

David Pech beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 15. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market19 Oct 2026

David Kozel is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Mlada Boleslav has been clear about where David Kozel stands, which is more than many ever get.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Denis Donát keeps the receipts

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

Squad21 Sep 2026

A one-man rearguard from Vojtěch Vorel

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Lukáš Letenay 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 Mlada Boleslav this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad21 Sep 2026

A row about effort at Mlada Boleslav

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

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Solomon John 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 ratings21 Sep 2026

Nobody on the pitch touched David Pech

7.87, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Mlada Boleslav had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Loan watch21 Sep 2026

Matěj Škrdla has seen enough of Hradec Králové

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Mlada Boleslav, and 0 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

Match19 Sep 2026

Mlada Boleslav share the spoils with Sigma Olomouc

A 1‑1 draw with Sigma Olomouc leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Half-satisfied: Patrik Brabec on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 1‑1, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.
