From our football correspondent Crisis

Match7 May 2029

NK Varazdin are in real trouble now

Position 9, 9 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Boardroom7 May 2029

Tin Knezevic has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at NK Varazdin can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Squad7 May 2029

Tempers go at NK Varazdin

Petar Bočkaj 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.

Squad7 May 2029

Iuri Tavares 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.

Market7 May 2029

Talks stall between NK Varazdin and Nikola Soldo

“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.

The dugout7 May 2029

Robby McCrorie gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Robby McCrorie is on it.

The dugout7 May 2029

The manager's exit leaves Jakov Filipović exposed

Every squad has men who were signed by a particular manager and men who were merely inherited. Jakov Filipović is in the first group, and the man who wanted him here is no longer in the building.

The dugout7 May 2029

Leni Peternac 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 dugout7 May 2029

Luka Mamić 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 NK Varazdin, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The NK Varazdin Chronicle

15 Jan 2029
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad15 Jan 2029

Roberto Punčec breaks a bone — 86 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 86 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match15 Jan 2029

NK Varazdin are in real trouble now

Position 9, 9 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

The dugout15 Jan 2029

Agron Rufati keeps the receipts

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

Market15 Jan 2029

Julius Lund 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 Varazdin can pretend not to have heard.

Squad15 Jan 2029

Tempers go at NK Varazdin

Petar Bočkaj 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.

Squad15 Jan 2029

Words at NK Varazdin training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Iuri Tavares 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 dugout15 Jan 2029

When it matters, Robby McCrorie plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout15 Jan 2029

Nikola Soldo 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 dugout15 Jan 2029

The manager makes an example of Antun Marković

“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.
