Squad

Antonio Marin 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 Domzale this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Robert Berić 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.

Match

NK Maribor take the points off NK Domzale

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Match

The half-term report on NK Domzale

Position 5, 12 points, and every result so far reduced to one line. The second half of the season starts with the same squad and a different set of expectations.

The dugout

Miha Sesko faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Miha Sesko after 0‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad

The formation has left Jayden Rus behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. NK Domzale will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

The dugout

No hiding place for Miha Vipotnik

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

Match

Continental football is in reach for NK Domzale

12 points from position 5. The title is somebody else’s business and the drop is somebody else’s problem; what is left is the argument about passports.

The dugout

No place in the plan for Zan Mevlja

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

Tomas Verbic breaks a bone — 17 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 17 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

A falling-out at NK Domzale

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

Squad

Robert Berić 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.

Match

Robert Berić the difference as NK Domzale beat NK Celje

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Robert Berić. 1‑0 against NK Celje, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Robert Berić

A mark of 7.78, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Market

NK Domzale buy the years ahead of Jayden Rus

He is 17, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Squad

Jayden Rus signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jayden Rus commits to NK Domzale for another 3 years.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Miha Sesko, on a 1‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

The dugout

The form table has caught Nejc Ilicic

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.
