From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Petar Sesko keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” NK Domzale may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Filip Dagerstål 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 Domzale this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at NK Domzale training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lan Vidmar 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Sandi Lovric

Successful dribbles: 44. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at NK Domzale

Robert Cerin 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

Olimpija Ljubljana take the points off NK Domzale

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

Squad

No hiding place for Jan Verbic

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

Squad

NK Domzale count the cost of losing Mate Vukovic

59 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Match

Olimpija Ljubljana take the points off NK Domzale

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Juan Pablo Otálvaro 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.

Squad

Juan Pablo Otálvaro 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.

Loan watch

Tomas Sesko has seen enough of NK Krka

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at NK Domzale, and 1 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Matic Stojanovic

Successful dribbles: 35. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Benjamin Ilicic leads the rout of NK Krsko

3‑0, and Benjamin Ilicic took the headlines on an afternoon when everything NK Domzale tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Squad

A day Benjamin Ilicic will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Market

Eyes on Tomas Sesko again

The phone has started ringing about Tomas Sesko again, and this time the name on the line is NK Krka. NK Domzale are listening politely and promising nothing.

Player ratings

Benjamin Ilicic in the eights

A performance of 9.32 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Robert Pasalic 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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Yefrem Borodin

At 18 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad

Mate Vukovic 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 Domzale this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Matic Oblak signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Matic Oblak commits to NK Domzale for another 1 years.
