Marked for Luka Posavec

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Dino Jergović

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

Match

Hrvatski Dragovoljac sink to position 8

21 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Squad

Antonio Jakoliš 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 Hrvatski Dragovoljac this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Hrvatski Dragovoljac training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Luka Posavec 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

Tin Došen 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.

Market

Experience through the door at Hrvatski Dragovoljac

Vlasi Mets arrives at 34 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.

Squad

Real improvement from Gonzalo Pineda at Hrvatski Dragovoljac

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

Squad

Matías Draghi 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 Hrvatski Dragovoljac this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A late step up for Mateo Tomić

At 24 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Match

Every point is an argument now for Hrvatski Dragovoljac

Position 10 and 10 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market

Hrvatski Dragovoljac get their man

The chase for Tin Došen ended with $48.0K changing hands and HNK Gorica out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad

Real improvement from Luka Posavec at Hrvatski Dragovoljac

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Luka Posavec is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Market

NK Osijek sell Luka Vrbančić for $1.5M

Luka Vrbančić has left for HNK Rijeka in a $1.5M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

Nail Omerović signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Nail Omerović and NK Osijek agree another 4 years.

Squad

Ivan Barić is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Arnel Jakupović 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 NK Osijek this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

NK Osijek sell Luka Posavec for $14.0K

Luka Posavec has left for Hrvatski Dragovoljac in a $14.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Market

Dinamo Zagreb join the queue for Matej Gagulić

Add another name to the list: Dinamo Zagreb have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Matej Gagulić. The answer from NK Osijek has not changed — yet.
