Marked for Paul Itim

From our football correspondent Steady

Market10 Jul 2028

Denis Granečný 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 Zbrojovka Brno can pretend not to have heard.

Squad10 Jul 2028

The step up is real for Martin Gjorgievski

At 23 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad10 Jul 2028

Words exchanged at Zbrojovka Brno

Daniel Vašulín 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.

Squad10 Jul 2028

Words at Zbrojovka Brno training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Bienvenue Kanakimana 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.

Transfer targets10 Jul 2028

Door shut on Giacomo Koloto

Zbrojovka Brno asked and Basel said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad10 Jul 2028

Paul Itim has improved at 26, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

The dugout10 Jul 2028

Jakub Selnar 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 dugout10 Jul 2028

When it matters, Bienvenue Kanakimana 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.

Squad20 Mar 2028

The knee: Broghan Sewell out for 38 days

38 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Zbrojovka Brno lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market20 Mar 2028

Jan Juroška is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Zbrojovka Brno is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Words exchanged at Zbrojovka Brno

Daniel Vašulín 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.

Adam Carlén 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.

Words at Zbrojovka Brno training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Paul Itim 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 dugout20 Mar 2028

Bienvenue Kanakimana has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Zbrojovka Brno will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market20 Mar 2028

The Daniel Vašulín question follows Zbrojovka Brno around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Daniel Vašulín’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout20 Mar 2028

Filip Slavata 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.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Country calls for Amadou Danté

He goes off to be somebody else’s player for a fortnight. Zbrojovka Brno lose him for the window and would like him returned in the condition he left.

In brief

The Teplice Post

16 Nov 2026
From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad16 Nov 2026

Matouš Trmal stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad16 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Teplice

Matouš Trmal and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Daniel Mareček 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.

Match14 Nov 2026

A bad afternoon for Teplice against Mlada Boleslav

0‑2 to Mlada Boleslav, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Stanley Nwabali

“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.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑2 defeat, delivered by Lukas Brabec to a room that had heard them before.

Player ratings16 Nov 2026

Daniel Mareček runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Somebody else is better right now than Stanley Nwabali

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Teplice keep their word to Adam Jánoš

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.
