Squad

Words at Jarun Zagreb training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yannick Touré 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

Words exchanged at Jarun Zagreb

James Wright 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 terraces

One of their own: Vito Matijević

He is 23 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.

Match

Jarun Zagreb find a way past Rudes

Rudes made Jarun Zagreb work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Xie Hongyu wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Jarun Zagreb can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Player ratings

Yannick Touré takes the honours

Marked 7.86 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Jarun Zagreb had the best player on the pitch.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Jarun Zagreb

6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout

Hrvoje Corluka: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Antonio Klarić-Kukuz

“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.

Market

Ivan Križanović 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 The request is on a desk at Jarun Zagreb, and it is not being withdrawn.

Words exchanged at Jarun Zagreb

Ivan Križanović 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.

Squad

Words at Jarun Zagreb training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Abdoulaye Djiré 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.

The dugout

Patrik Jug knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Jarun Zagreb, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Bas Brouwers

“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.

Market

The Vito Matijević talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Jarun Zagreb know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Match

Every point is an argument now for Jarun Zagreb

Position 12 and 9 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Squad

A fracture rules Mario Maloča out for 67 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Jarun Zagreb will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Tempers go at Jarun Zagreb

Abdoulaye Djiré 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

Bas Brouwers signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Bas Brouwers and Jarun Zagreb agree another 4 years.

Looking ahead

Antonio Klarić-Kukuz faces his old club

Dugopolje next, and one man in the Jarun Zagreb dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Squad

Somebody is after Ivan Križanović’s shirt

A new face in his position, and Ivan Križanović suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. Jarun Zagreb have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.
