Match

Voždovac are in among the leaders

Position 2 and 23 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Voždovac

The unbeaten run reaches 12. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad

A falling-out at Voždovac

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

Player ratings

Bogdan Reichman was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.24. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

Words at Voždovac training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mihajlo Terzić 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.

Match

Voždovac rescue it on 94 minutes

Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 94. OFK Vršac had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

The dugout

No hiding place for Nenad Filipović

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Nenad Filipović, and the manager let it.

Match

Voždovac and OFK Vršac take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout

Sinisa Vlahovic: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 1‑1 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Match

11 unbeaten for Voždovac

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 11 matches without defeat is a foundation Voždovac did not have in the autumn.

Player ratings

Zhang Jiaming was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 28. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

Tempers go at Voždovac

Igor Petrović 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

A row about effort at Voždovac

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Bohdan Redushko was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Player ratings

One of those days for Bogdan Reichman

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.10, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

The dugout

A promise honoured at Voždovac

Something was said to Bohdan Redushko and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Voždovac

13 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.

Match

Voždovac and Dinamo Vranje take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout

No hiding place for Uroš Petrović

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Uroš Petrović, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

Bojan Matić scores twice — 8.79

Two goals and a mark of 8.79 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

Marko Stanković gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Marko Stanković has just signed for Voždovac, and for once the answer mattered.

Market

Lazar Mališ is a Voždovac player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Transfer targets

Voždovac make their move for Strahinja Ristić

$22.0K on the table at Napredak. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets

Voždovac rebuffed over Vasilije Novičić

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. IMT have kept their man, and Voždovac go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match

Voždovac find a way past Smederevo 1924

Smederevo 1924 made Voždovac work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Zhang Jiaming

At 19 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.

Player ratings

Marko Stanković was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 19. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Market

Lazar Grujic steps up from the Voždovac academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Lazar Grujic has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
