Market

Ousman Kujabi 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 Podbrezova can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Podbrezova turn down LNZ for Maksym Khiminets

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Balša Mrvaljević signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Balša Mrvaljević commits to Podbrezova for another 4 years.

Match

Podbrezova come up short against MSK Zilina

MSK Zilina left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Transfer targets

Karviná tell Podbrezova: Kahuan Vinícius is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout

Balša Mrvaljević 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 dugout

Jakub Bero answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Squad

Tempers go at Podbrezova

Jakub Řehák 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

Andriy Havrylenko 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.

In brief
