Squad

Ivica Boric 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 Zadar this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Zadar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marko Kovac 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

Ivica Boric 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 Ivica Boric is on it.

The dugout

Milan Kovac 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 Zadar, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Marko Kovac linked with a move away

The name of Marko Kovac keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Zadar say nothing, which says plenty.

The terraces

Supporters make their feelings known about Dario Budimir

The speculation has reached the stands, and the stands have answered. Zadar would like this settled before it becomes the only thing anybody asks about.

Ivica Boric 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Zadar

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Marko Kovac was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market

The Ivica Boric talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Zadar know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad

Kacper Kucharczyk remains an outsider

A year in and the city has not opened up, the language has not come, and lunch is eaten alone more often than anybody at Zadar would admit. It shows on Saturdays.
