Squad

The knee: Branko Vrgoč out for 36 days

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

The dugout

Marco Russo: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Sibenik have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

A falling-out at Sibenik

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

Squad

A row about effort at Sibenik

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Šime Gržan was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

No hiding place for Diego Sekulić

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

Market

The Nikola Krajinović question follows Sibenik around

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

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Toni Španja

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

Player ratings

Šime Gržan was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 25. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Market

Ivan Buva asks to leave Sibenik

“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.

Market

As if he never left: Šime Gržan returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Šime Gržan is a Sibenik player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Transfer targets

Hajduk Split tell Sibenik: Marino Skelin is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The terraces

One of their own: Mateo Bačić

He is 21 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.

Match

Sibenik get the job done against Imotski

A 2‑0 win over Imotski, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
