Squad

Tempers go at Olimpija Ljubljana

Jasmin Kurtić 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.

The dugout

Veljko Jelenković 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

Marko Brest 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 Marko Brest is on it.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Pedro Lucas

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Olimpija Ljubljana told Pedro Lucas something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout

Dino Kojić knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Olimpija Ljubljana, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Looking ahead

Jan Gorenc goes back to face Mura

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Jan Gorenc’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Olimpija Ljubljana needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Market

Dimitar Mitrovski linked with a move away

The name of Dimitar Mitrovski keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Olimpija Ljubljana say nothing, which says plenty.

Loan watch

Nafta 1903 cannot leave Jordi Govea out

11 starts and an average of 6.71. He went there to play and he is playing, which is the only thing a loan was ever for.

Loan watch

Ilirija 1911 cannot leave Tristan Kotar out

11 starts and an average of 6.64. He went there to play and he is playing, which is the only thing a loan was ever for.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Words at Jesenice training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Borna Panić 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.

The dugout

Matjaž Veber 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Jesenice against Triglav Kranj

0‑1 to Triglav Kranj, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Vid Oblak to a room that had heard them before.

Squad

Tilen Gašper Štiftar: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Jesenice will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

Player ratings

Timothy Ček was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 12. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout

No place in the plan for Tilen Gašper Štiftar

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.

The dugout

Marijan Oršolić has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Jesenice will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad

A season on the outside for Ramón Arcas

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Jesenice has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match

Jesenice run riot against Slovan Ljubljana

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Borna Panić at 21 — 7.75

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Borna Panić did not need any: 7.75, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Kristian Dakič signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Kristian Dakič commits to Jesenice for another 3 years.

Squad

Kristian Dakič 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.

The terraces

Jesenice supporters have found a favourite in Borna Panić

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Borna Panić has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Market

Still no ink between Jesenice and Borna Panić

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Jesenice, another week without a signature from Borna Panić.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Hugo Šelih is in the works

Jesenice have made the call to Rudar Velenje. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

A loan move for Miljan Pantić is in the works

Jesenice have made the call to Olimpija Ljubljana. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout

A satisfied Vid Oblak

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 3‑0, Vid Oblak could afford to be generous.
