Squad

Duje Ivanovic is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

At 20, Tin Bogdan is already the best thing here

An average of 7.12 in a first team he is several years too young for. Zadar have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Squad

A late step up for Daniel Katić

At 24 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Squad

Artyom Danilov signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Artyom Danilov commits to Zadar for another 4 years.

Market

Zadar sell Goran Perisic for $26.0K

Goran Perisic has left for Hajduk Split in a $26.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Market

Niko Simunovic told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Niko Simunovic has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Zadar.

Squad

Artyom Danilov says Zadar 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.

Market

Petar Erceg 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Zadar

Emir Basabe 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

Words at Zadar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Domagoj Rebic 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Niko Datković

“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.

Market

The Antonio Corluka conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Slaven Belupo will make the call about Antonio Corluka this week. Zadar have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Squad

Guillaume Dequaire breaks a bone — 57 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 57 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

Zadar are in among the leaders

Position 1 and 39 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Squad

Emir Basabe 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.
