Market

NK Celje come back empty-handed

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

Market

Zan Kampl asks to leave NK Domzale

“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.

Match

NK Domzale find a way past NK Zavrc

NK Zavrc made NK Domzale work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces

NK Domzale supporters have found a favourite in Filip Cerin

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Filip Cerin 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.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Filip Sesko

Marked 8.12 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Filip Cerin

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Benjamin Birsa gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Sergio Bruno dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Squad

The plan did not have a place for Gregor Birsa

Nobody at NK Domzale is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Squad

Benjamin Birsa keeps NK Domzale in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

NK Domzale say no — this time

The offer from Bidvest Wits for Filip Sesko was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Sandi Skubic 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 NK Domzale can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at NK Domzale

Daniel Vlasic 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for NK Domzale against Koper

0‑2 to Koper, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

No hiding place for Sergio Bruno

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

In brief
