12 unbeaten for Koper

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 12 matches without defeat is a foundation Koper did not have in the autumn.

Jere Kallinen: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Koper have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market9 Aug 2032

Andrei Maxim 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 Koper can pretend not to have heard.

Market9 Aug 2032

NK Maribor come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Koper did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad9 Aug 2032

Juan Ignacio Barbieri 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 Koper this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad9 Aug 2032

Andraž Ruedl 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.

Match7 Aug 2032

Koper make home a hard place to visit

9 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Boardroom9 Aug 2032

Koper beat the market to Ignacio Sabatini from Olimpija Ljubljana

Olimpija Ljubljana will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Ignacio Sabatini has pre-agreed a move to Koper, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Market9 Aug 2032

No place for Isaac Matondo in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Isaac Matondo has his answer from Koper; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Match26 Jul 2031

Still nobody has beaten Koper

The unbeaten run reaches 23. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Player ratings28 Jul 2031

Nobody could get near Leo Rimac

Successful dribbles: 35. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad28 Jul 2031

Tempers go at Koper

Juan Ignacio Barbieri 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.

Andrei Maxim gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Andrei Maxim has just signed for Koper, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad28 Jul 2031

Words at Koper training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Brian Oddei 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.

Squad28 Jul 2031

A late step up for Guram Mikautadze

At 28 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.

Market28 Jul 2031

NK Domzale are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Koper will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Match26 Jul 2031

No goals between Koper and Olimpija Ljubljana

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Olimpija Ljubljana will be the happier side with the point.

Market28 Jul 2031

Still no ink between Koper and Alexis Devesa

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