Match

Chastening afternoon for NK Krsko

A 0‑3 beating by NK Domzale was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Market

Gabriel Bačan asks to leave NK Krsko

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Marko Zalokar

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.

Match

The wait goes on for NK Krsko

4 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.

Squad

Floriano Vanzo 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 NK Krsko this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Jorge Mora

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jorge Mora, and the manager let it.

In brief

  • Squad Words at NK Krsko training over how hard people work
  • Boardroom Nobody left the NK Krsko dressing room in a hurry
  • Player ratings Sven Opačić runs at them all day

Market

Rok Gorenc 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 The request is on a desk at NK Krsko, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Mihajlo Maletić keeps the receipts

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

Squad

Tempers go at NK Krsko

Floriano Vanzo 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

Words at NK Krsko training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tomaž Zakrajšek 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.

Squad

The manager has not finished forgetting Jorge Mora'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.

Player ratings

Off the pace: Jorge Mora

A mark of 4.21 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

Market

Tadej Petančič 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 NK Krsko, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at NK Krsko

Rok Gorenc 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for NK Krsko against NK Maribor

1‑3 to NK Maribor, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Floriano Vanzo 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

The manager makes an example of Marko Zalokar

“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.

Loan watch

Fran Penezić counts the days

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

Match

Chastening afternoon for NK Krsko

A 1‑5 beating by NK Celje was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Market

Tomaž Zakrajšek asks to leave NK Krsko

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match

NK Krsko sink to position 8

6 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Player ratings

Sven Opačić runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at NK Krsko

Floriano Vanzo 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.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about NK Krsko and NK Celje in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Squad

Tadej Petančič 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.

Squad

Niki Radovič 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.

Boardroom

Doors closed at NK Krsko

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Match

Niki Radovič sends NK Krsko through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Niki Radovič obliged against NK Krka. 1‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is NK Krsko.

Market

Rok Gorenc 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 NK Krsko can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Floriano Vanzo 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 NK Krsko this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Sven Opačić runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Words at NK Krsko training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Niki Radovič 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

NK Zavrc take the points off NK Krsko

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The terraces

NK Krsko supporters have found a favourite in Niki Radovič

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Niki Radovič 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Jorge Mora

“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.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Niki Radovič at his very best

Marked 8.27. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at NK Krsko.

Player ratings

A brace, and Rok Gorenc takes the afternoon — 8.35

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Rok Gorenc provided it, and the 8.35 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

Marko Zalokar signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Marko Zalokar commits to NK Krsko for another 2 years.

Match

NK Domzale take the points off NK Krsko

Beaten 3‑5, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Tempers go at NK Krsko

Niki Radovič 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.

Match

Rok Gorenc among the goals in a wild afternoon

8 goals in one match, Rok Gorenc on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of NK Krsko and NK Domzale.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Tadej Petančič

“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.

Squad

Jure Zupan 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.

Market

Talks stall between NK Krsko and Marko Zalokar

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

Nobody at NK Krsko has picked up the phone to Rok Gorenc

49 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.
