Player ratings16 Aug 2027

Isaque runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Marko Đira 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.

Match14 Aug 2027

The goals have deserted Zadar

3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Zadar can tell you which week it ends in.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Ivica Kovacevic 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.

Match14 Aug 2027

Istra 1961 take the points off Zadar

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Hrvoje Petkovic did the work nobody counts — 6.59

10 combined actions and 6.59. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Squad16 Aug 2027

The manager makes an example of Aaron Ramírez

“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.

Market16 Aug 2027

Zadar buy the years ahead of Husein Sumbuljević

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Ivan Vrsaljko 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.

Squad5 Apr 2027

A fracture rules Marko Đira out for 59 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Zadar will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad5 Apr 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Mate Bogdan

28 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Zadar lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad5 Apr 2027

Tempers go at Zadar

Goran Juranovic 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.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Marko Đira breaks a bone — 67 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 67 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad29 Mar 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Mate Bogdan

35 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Zadar lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market29 Mar 2027

Marko Petkovic asks to leave Zadar

“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.
