Match5 Jun 2028

Hrvace up to position 2

41 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Market5 Jun 2028

Iliyan Dimitrov asks to leave Hrvace

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market5 Jun 2028

Iliyan Dimitrov is on his way

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

Squad5 Jun 2028

Tempers go at Hrvace

Ivan Križanović 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.

Transfer targets5 Jun 2028

HNK Rijeka tell Hrvace: Daniel Adu-Adjei 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.

Squad5 Jun 2028

A row about effort at Hrvace

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

Squad5 Jun 2028

Angelos Tsiris signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Angelos Tsiris and Hrvace agree another 4 years.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Roko Anić is a square peg at Hrvace

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Transfer targets5 Jun 2028

Hrvace ask about Noa Skoko

A loan enquiry to Hajduk Split: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The Hrvace Post

29 May 2028
From our football correspondent Steady

Squad29 May 2028

The season belongs to Ivan Križanović

An individual honour is a strange thing in a team game, and the best of them are never argued with. He has had the sort of year that ends with his name being read out, and Hrvace have had the benefit of it.

Squad29 May 2028

Words exchanged at Hrvace

Stipe Vladušić 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.

Squad29 May 2028

11 clean sheets and the golden glove for Ivan Križanović

The one award on the pitch nobody else can win. 11 games in a season in which nobody scored past him, and a career that will be measured against this one.

Squad29 May 2028

Lovre Borovičkić 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.

Market29 May 2028

A stepping stone, not a home, for Roko Anić

He is doing his job and he is not settling. Hrvace were supposed to be a step up in his own reckoning, and his own reckoning has been adjusted since he arrived.

The dugout29 May 2028

Benjamin Gibanjek 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.

Market29 May 2028

Hrvace buy the years ahead of Roko Anić

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Market29 May 2028

Boško Jemo linked with a move away

The name of Boško Jemo keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Hrvace say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout29 May 2028

Ruben Tilburgs 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.
