Marked for Darijo Tadic

Squad23 Oct 2028

The knee: Darijo Tadic out for 19 days

19 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Hrvatski Dragovoljac lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match18 Oct 2028

The small margins put Hrvatski Dragovoljac out

Out, 0‑2 to HNK Rijeka, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Squad23 Oct 2028

A fracture rules Rodrigo Dias out for 63 days

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

Player ratings23 Oct 2028

Both of them Mika Peters's — 9.07

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.07, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings23 Oct 2028

Maro Medo, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.70

A mark of 7.70 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Match21 Oct 2028

Mika Peters sends Hrvatski Dragovoljac past Kustosija

It finished 3‑1, and it was Mika Peters’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Hrvatski Dragovoljac.

The terraces23 Oct 2028

One of their own: Mika Peters

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Squad23 Oct 2028

Dawid Konopka wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Hrvatski Dragovoljac can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

The dugout23 Oct 2028

Hrvatski Dragovoljac keep their word to Filip Šušković-Jakopac

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Squad16 Oct 2028

Darijo Tadic damages knee ligaments — 27 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 27 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

The dugout16 Oct 2028

Mateo Tomić keeps the receipts

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

Squad16 Oct 2028

Words exchanged at Hrvatski Dragovoljac

Leon Raljić and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad16 Oct 2028

Franco Quijada wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Hrvatski Dragovoljac know it.

Squad16 Oct 2028

Words at Hrvatski Dragovoljac training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Godfred Boakye 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.

The dugout16 Oct 2028

Helóine Correia 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.

Looking ahead16 Oct 2028

A reunion for Domagoj Marušić

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Kustosija in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

The dugout16 Oct 2028

Leon Raljić knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Leon Raljić trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market16 Oct 2028

The Daniel Katić question follows Hrvatski Dragovoljac around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Daniel Katić’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad9 Oct 2028

The knee: Darijo Tadic out for 34 days

34 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Hrvatski Dragovoljac lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Player ratings9 Oct 2028

Maro Medo, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.95

A mark of 7.95 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

The dugout9 Oct 2028

Ørn Flø keeps the receipts

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

Squad9 Oct 2028

Matej Jukić signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Matej Jukić commits to Hrvatski Dragovoljac for another 3 years.

Squad9 Oct 2028

A falling-out at Hrvatski Dragovoljac

Daniel Katić and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Boardroom9 Oct 2028

Belts tighten at Hrvatski Dragovoljac

The accounts are being read more closely than the results. Wages before ambition is the order of business now, and the manager has been told so.

The terraces9 Oct 2028

Hrvatski Dragovoljac supporters have found a favourite in Maro Medo

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Maro Medo 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.

Match7 Oct 2028

Hrvatski Dragovoljac find a way past Varteks

Varteks made Hrvatski Dragovoljac work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Boardroom9 Oct 2028

105% of the income goes out in wages at Hrvatski Dragovoljac

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

The terraces2 Oct 2028

Anger at Hrvatski Dragovoljac spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Squad2 Oct 2028

Darijo Tadic damages knee ligaments — 41 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 41 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Boardroom2 Oct 2028

Hrvatski Dragovoljac put Matej Kovac on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Boardroom2 Oct 2028

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Hrvatski Dragovoljac

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

The dugout2 Oct 2028

Marko Kopić keeps the receipts

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

Market2 Oct 2028

Lukas Zubović asks to leave Hrvatski Dragovoljac

“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.

Squad2 Oct 2028

Matej Jukić signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Matej Jukić commits to Hrvatski Dragovoljac for another 3 years.

Squad2 Oct 2028

Daniel Katić 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 Hrvatski Dragovoljac this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match30 Sep 2028

Hrvatski Dragovoljac come up short against Grobnican

Grobnican left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
