Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Moris Majdak-Zebić

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Croatia Zmijavci have done the hard part with Kustosija, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Boardroom

Croatia Zmijavci go back to the board over Moris Majdak-Zebić

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $50.1K — a club that wants Moris Majdak-Zebić enough to be asked twice.

Match

No end in sight to Croatia Zmijavci's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Croatia Zmijavci has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

A row about effort at Croatia Zmijavci

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

Transfer targets

Croatia Zmijavci rebuffed over Luka Stojković

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

Squad

Tempers go at Croatia Zmijavci

Niko Škrlec 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 terraces

Croatia Zmijavci supporters have found a favourite in Ivan Krolo

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Ivan Krolo 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.

The dugout

Ivan Težački 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.

Market

Still no ink between Croatia Zmijavci and Dario Barada

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Croatia Zmijavci, another week without a signature from Dario Barada.

Squad

Yegor Baburin stands alone

9 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Player ratings

Ivan Težački pops up at the right end — 7.91

7.91, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Market

Dario Barada is a Croatia Zmijavci player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Squad

A falling-out at Croatia Zmijavci

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

Transfer targets

Croatia Zmijavci make their move for Moris Majdak-Zebić

$39.0K on the table at Kustosija. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

The formation has left Emanuel Mađarić behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Croatia Zmijavci will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Market

Croatia Zmijavci and Yegor Baburin are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

14 new faces, and Croatia Zmijavci 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.

Match

Ivan Težački rescues a point for Croatia Zmijavci

It needed Ivan Težački to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against BSK Bijelo Brdo, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

In brief
