Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Enzo

14 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Spartak Subotica lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

Spartak Subotica throw away a 2-goal lead

2 in front and in complete control, and it finished with Partizan the happier side. There is no version of this afternoon that Spartak Subotica will enjoy reviewing.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Pedro at 20 — 8.98

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Pedro did not need any: 8.98, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Muhamed Bešić yet — 8.73

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.73 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

Remember the name: Pedro

He is 20, he is averaging 7.21, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Squad

Real improvement from César Lugo at Spartak Subotica

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. César Lugo is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Caju 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 Spartak Subotica this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Pedro

At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Boardroom

Wages eat 118% of everything Spartak Subotica earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Enzo

21 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Spartak Subotica lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Carlos Mosquera Marmolejo

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Pedro

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Words at Spartak Subotica training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Pedro 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

Tempers go at Spartak Subotica

Veljko Bogićević 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Spartak Subotica against Crvena Zvezda

0‑1 to Crvena Zvezda, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Match

AJ Auxerre take Spartak Subotica apart in Europe

0‑5. There is a level at which football is played every single week by clubs that have been doing it for fifty years, and an evening like this is what it feels like to arrive there without having done it.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Enzo

28 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Spartak Subotica lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Pedro at 20 — 9.00

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Pedro did not need any: 9.00, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

The terraces

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 9 of the 29 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Squad

Pedro 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.

Squad

Costly mistake from Carlos Mosquera Marmolejo

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Carlos Mosquera Marmolejo knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Stefan Tomović

Marked 9.09 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Match

Spartak Subotica see off Radnicki 1923

Three points for Spartak Subotica, 2‑1 the final word against Radnicki 1923 in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Tempers go at Spartak Subotica

Rodrigo Brasília 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.
