The dugout

Kenan Hadžibegović says NK Krka went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Andraž Lipec 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 NK Krka this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at NK Krka training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Leon Bičanić 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

A promise honoured for Petar Kampl

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. NK Krka told Petar Kampl something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout

When it matters, Niko Domjanić plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Looking ahead

Andraž Lipec goes back to face NK Krsko

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

The dugout

Bruno Župan 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.

Looking ahead

NK Krka travel to NK Krsko

Next up on the road: NK Krsko, position 7. The supporters who go will talk about it all week and the ones who do not will check their phones at ten to five.

Squad

Inas Kukavica in the team of the week — 6.72

6.72 across the ninety minutes, and a place in the division’s best eleven for it. Nobody who saw the match will argue.

Market

Bruno Župan asks to leave NK Krka

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Boardroom

Window shuts: 19 in, 2 out at NK Krka

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 19 arrived, 2 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Marko Simić

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. NK Krka have done the hard part with Rudar Velenje, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad

Benjamin Skubic 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 NK Krka this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at NK Krka training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Aaron Lewis 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.

Transfer targets

Olimpija Ljubljana tell NK Krka: Žiga Pečjak is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout

No hiding place for Leon Bičanić

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Leon Bičanić, and the manager let it.

Squad

No place for Petar Kampl in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation NK Krka are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Squad

Tilen Kovačić is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Tilen Kovačić has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.
