Squad21 Aug 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Stanislav Dostál

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

Squad21 Aug 2028

Marián Pišoja says Zlin 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.

Match19 Aug 2028

4 matches without a win for Zlin

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Zlin are no longer polite ones.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Jakub Pešek 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 Zlin this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Joel Domínguez 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.

Match19 Aug 2028

Zlin come up short against Slavia Prague

Slavia Prague left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Match18 Aug 2027

Matej Brabec sends Zlin through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Matej Brabec obliged against Viktoria Plzen. 3‑1 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Zlin.

Squad23 Aug 2027

A one-man rearguard from Jan Bačkovský

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match18 Aug 2027

Matej Brabec wins it after the whistle should have gone

100 minutes played. Matej Brabec found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Viktoria Plzen went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Player ratings23 Aug 2027

Matej Brabec, 15, plays like he has been here for years — 7.72

A mark of 7.72 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 15-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market23 Aug 2027

Miloš Kopečný 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 Zlin can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings23 Aug 2027

Denis Višinský runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Cletus Nombil 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 Zlin this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market23 Aug 2027

David Machalík moves on

Slovacko pay $280.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Denis Višinský 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.

Daniel Krch puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Zlin, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Antonín Křapka 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 Zlin this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad1 Mar 2027

No hiding place for Daniel Krch

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