Marked for Bartol Kunert

From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout10 Dec 2029

Bartol Kunert keeps the receipts

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

Squad10 Dec 2029

Cheikh Mbacke Diop 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.

Squad10 Dec 2029

A row about effort at Lokomotiva Zagreb

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

The dugout10 Dec 2029

Marko Rog 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.

Loan watch10 Dec 2029

Nobody is scoring past Maksim Podliesnyi at Al-Shabab

6 shut-outs in 10 games. A goalkeeper’s loan is judged on the afternoons when nothing happened at all, and Maksim Podliesnyi has been having a lot of them.

Squad10 Dec 2029

Josip Posavec can feel the drop

The table is being checked before the results are in, which is always the tell. Nobody at Lokomotiva Zagreb says the word and every senior player in the building is thinking it.

Squad18 Dec 2028

Marko Rog breaks a bone — 125 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 125 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market18 Dec 2028

Only the photograph left for Marko Batur

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Marko Batur will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Lokomotiva Zagreb the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad18 Dec 2028

Words exchanged at Lokomotiva Zagreb

Niko Galešić 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.

The dugout18 Dec 2028

Vilim Krušlin 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.

The dugout18 Dec 2028

Ivan Katić asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout18 Dec 2028

Bartol Kunert has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Bartol Kunert has written the date down.

Match1 Nov 2028

Cup progress for Lokomotiva Zagreb

A 1‑0 win over NK Varazdin, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Squad6 Nov 2028

60 days out for Marko Pajač after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Lokomotiva Zagreb will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings6 Nov 2028

No sign of nerves from Anes Huskić at 21 — 7.94

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Anes Huskić did not need any: 7.94, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

The dugout6 Nov 2028

Franjo Posavac says Lokomotiva Zagreb went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Player ratings6 Nov 2028

Mirko Sušak runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad6 Nov 2028

Niko Galešić 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.

The terraces6 Nov 2028

One of their own: Anes Huskić

He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Squad6 Nov 2028

Ibrahim Sabra reaches 100 appearances

100 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.

The dugout6 Nov 2028

No hiding place for Bartol Kunert

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

Boardroom4 Sep 2028

Window shuts: 22 in, 17 out at Lokomotiva Zagreb

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 22 arrived, 17 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Market4 Sep 2028

Zadar come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Lokomotiva Zagreb did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad4 Sep 2028

Niko Galešić 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.

Player ratings4 Sep 2028

Nobody could get near Oliver Heiðarsson

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

Player ratings4 Sep 2028

Mirko Sušak stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.77 on the card, and the Lokomotiva Zagreb support went home talking about one name.

Squad4 Sep 2028

A place in the month's best eleven for Dino Godec

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Dino Godec has come out of that comparison in the side, and Lokomotiva Zagreb have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Market4 Sep 2028

The Marko Batur conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: HNK Gorica will make the call about Marko Batur this week. Lokomotiva Zagreb have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Match2 Sep 2028

Lokomotiva Zagreb share the spoils with HNK Gorica

A 1‑1 draw with HNK Gorica leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout4 Sep 2028

No hiding place for Bartol Kunert

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

In brief

  • Squad Tin Kulenović slips down the pecking order
  • The dugout Half-satisfied: the manager on the draw
