The FK Senica Chronicle

Matej Lobotka puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at FK Senica, and it is not being withdrawn.

Denis Lobotka 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 FK Senica this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Filip Sestak 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.

FK Senica supporters have found a favourite in Filip Sestak
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Filip Sestak 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.

Defensive actions: 20, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Denis Lobotka sends FK Senica past MFK Skalica
It finished 1‑0, and it was Denis Lobotka’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to FK Senica.

Denis Lobotka in the eights
A performance of 8.13 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Samuel Rusnak was immovable
17 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Andrej Benes stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Andrej Benes and FK Senica agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
