The Mladost Lucani Gazette

A knee injury of the worst kind for Sebastián Medina
58 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Mladost Lucani lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Nikola Boranijašević asks to leave Mladost Lucani
“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.

Saša Stamenković keeps Mladost Lucani in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Nobody could get near Milutin Vidosavljević
Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Milan Joksimović keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Mladost Lucani may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Nikola Boranijašević 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 Mladost Lucani this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Nemanja Žunić was immovable
20 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Nothing got past Janko Tumbasević
Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 15 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Mladost Lucani draw a blank against Javor-Matis
The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Javor-Matis defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.
In brief
- Market Window shut, Todor Glišović still here
- Market Mladost Lucani pick up Jorge Monteiro for nothing
- Market Mladost Lucani and Marco Zorzetto are talking past each other
