The Lokomotiva Zagreb Courier
Match29 Nov 2026
The wait goes on for Lokomotiva Zagreb
13 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.
Match26 Nov 2026
Lokomotiva Zagreb come up short in Europe
0‑2 away to the standard of Willem II. Nobody will pretend this was a scandal; the gap is real, it is measurable, and closing it is a project rather than a team talk.

Fran Karačić 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 Lokomotiva Zagreb this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Josip Posavec reaches 200 appearances
200 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.
Squad30 Nov 2026
A row about effort at Lokomotiva Zagreb
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Marko Pajač was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Looking ahead30 Nov 2026
Lokomotiva Zagreb face HNK Vukovar 1991 in the game that matters most
Two sides from the bottom of the table, three points, and an afternoon that will be described afterwards as a relegation decider by whoever loses it.
The dugout30 Nov 2026
No hiding place for Marko Pajač
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Marko Pajač, and the manager let it.
Player ratings30 Nov 2026
Nobody could get near Aleksandar Trajkovski
Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Loan watch30 Nov 2026
Matija Subotić wants to come home
“I did not go to NK Osijek to sit and watch. I want to come back to Lokomotiva Zagreb and fight for my place.” 4 appearances in 15 matches say the rest.
In brief
