Market

Cene Kitek hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what ND Gorica can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout

Ladji Mory Kane keeps the receipts

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

Squad

A falling-out at ND Gorica

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

Squad

Szilárd Rostás gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Szilárd Rostás has just signed for ND Gorica, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Tim Matavž is slowing down

At 38, 3 points below where he was, and a body that has started charging interest. It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph on this page.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Ali Reghba

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Luka Baruca

“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.

Squad

Home is on Ladji Mory Kane's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; ND Gorica are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Darko Hrka is in the works

ND Gorica have made the call to NK Celje. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad

Real improvement from Alen Korošec at ND Gorica

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

Home is on Ladji Mory Kane's mind

The dugout

A promise honoured for Gašper Vodeb

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. ND Gorica told Gašper Vodeb something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Squad

ND Gorica are still strangers to each other

6 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Kristjan Laščak

“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 dugout

Alen Korošec 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.

Market

Filip Panić is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at ND Gorica has been clear about where Filip Panić stands, which is more than many ever get.

The dugout

Mattia Chiesa has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at ND Gorica 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.
