Market

Ondřej Čoudek asks to leave Artis Brno

“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

Words exchanged at Artis Brno

Daniel Kosek 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.

Squad

Words at Artis Brno training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Martin Pospíšil 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 dugout

Jiří Borek asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout

Tomáš Vajner is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Market

The Robi Saarma question follows Artis Brno around

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

Squad

The knee: Lukas Darida out for 18 days

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

Match

Artis Brno run riot against Slavia Prague B

6‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings

A brace, and Vukadin Vukadinović takes the afternoon — 8.85

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Vukadin Vukadinović provided it, and the 8.85 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market

Tomáš Vajner has said yes to Slavia Kroměříž

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Artis Brno have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Player ratings

Both of them Robi Saarma's — 8.18

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.18, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

The terraces

The town believes in Artis Brno

Position 2, 42 points, and a ticket office that has not been this busy in years. Nobody says the word; everybody is thinking it.

Player ratings

Martin Pospíšil, 35, rolls back the years — 8.13

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.13 at 35, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Player ratings

Up for the corner, and Dominik Plechatý delivers — 7.95

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Dominik Plechatý scored, was marked 7.95, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad

Real improvement from Šimon Tesař at Artis Brno

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Šimon Tesař is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Market

The unthinkable, invoiced: Quadri Adediran sold

Maccabi Netanya arrived with $610.0K and left with the best player in the building. The board will call it business; the queue at the ticket office will use other words.

Market

Ondřej Čoudek turns Tatran Liptovský Mikuláš down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

The terraces

A $610.0K sale, and a town that did not want it

Quadri Adediran has gone, the accounts have $610.0K in them, and the supporters have the feeling of having been sold something themselves. Good business and a good decision are not always the same thing.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Ismaël Konaté rejects the move

Artis Brno had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Juventus, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

Jakub Fulnek stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jakub Fulnek and Artis Brno agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

A falling-out at Artis Brno

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

Market

Viktoria Plzen join the queue for Jean-David Beauguel

Add another name to the list: Viktoria Plzen have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Jean-David Beauguel. The answer from Artis Brno has not changed — yet.

Market

Lukas Darida steps up from the Artis Brno academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Lukas Darida has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Match

Artis Brno find a way past Táborsko

Táborsko made Artis Brno work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.
