Marked for Samuel Klieštik

The dugout21 Aug 2028

Milan Knobloch keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Slovacko may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Marek Havlík 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 Slovacko this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad21 Aug 2028

The step up is real for Samuel Klieštik

At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Lukáš Vorlický has improved at 26, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Words at Slovacko training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lukáš Vorlický 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.

Match19 Aug 2028

Mlada Boleslav take the points off Slovacko

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings21 Aug 2028

Nobody could get near Lukáš Vorlický

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout21 Aug 2028

The manager makes an example of Milan Piško

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout21 Aug 2028

Filip Jankto: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market17 Jul 2028

Stathis Beleris agrees terms with Epicentr

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Slovacko people have started saying his name in the past tense.

The dugout17 Jul 2028

Matyáš Šilhavý says Slovacko went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad17 Jul 2028

Tempers go at Slovacko

Marek Havlík 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.

Squad17 Jul 2028

Real improvement from Samuel Klieštik at Slovacko

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Samuel Klieštik is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad17 Jul 2028

A late step up for Antonín Růsek

At 29 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.

Squad17 Jul 2028

A move Lukáš Jelínek would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Lukáš Jelínek is living that version at Slovacko, and it tends to show in the first month.

Transfer targets17 Jul 2028

Door shut on Matías Córdoba

Slovacko asked and Colón said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market17 Jul 2028

Slovacko buy the years ahead of Lukáš Jelínek

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.

The dugout17 Jul 2028

Jakub Jakubko gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Jakub Jakubko is on it.
