Squad19 Apr 2027

A falling-out at Ústí nad Labem

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

Squad19 Apr 2027

A row about effort at Ústí nad Labem

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

The dugout19 Apr 2027

Jan Čtvrtečka back under a manager who knows him

The new man at Ústí nad Labem has worked with Jan Čtvrtečka before and it went well. He arrives with a view of the player already formed, which is worth more than any pre-season.

The dugout19 Apr 2027

No hiding place for Franck Idumbo Muzambo

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

The Walter González story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Walter González signs something — a contract at Ústí nad Labem or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dugout19 Apr 2027

The manager makes Jan Čtvrtečka a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Ústí nad Labem. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Jan Provod damages knee ligaments — 19 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 19 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.

Match6 Feb 2027

Walter González leads the rout of Slavia Kroměříž

3‑0, and Walter González took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Ústí nad Labem tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings8 Feb 2027

Walter González scores twice — 8.68

Two goals and a mark of 8.68 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

The dugout8 Feb 2027

Šimon Jalovičor: 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.” Ústí nad Labem have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Walter González is carrying Ústí nad Labem

22 goals and a season average of 7.32. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Player ratings8 Feb 2027

Up for the corner, and Štěpán Langer delivers — 7.83

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Štěpán Langer scored, was marked 7.83, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Nash Bijnoe gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Nash Bijnoe has just signed for Ústí nad Labem, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad8 Feb 2027

A row about effort at Ústí nad Labem

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

Transfer targets8 Feb 2027

Door shut on Michal Málek

Ústí nad Labem asked and Banik Ostrava said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad1 Feb 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Jan Provod

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

Squad1 Feb 2027

Walter González is carrying Ústí nad Labem

20 goals and a season average of 7.28. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Boardroom1 Feb 2027

Deadline passes with 6 signed and 1 gone

That is the business done at Ústí nad Labem until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Conor Townsend stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Conor Townsend and Ústí nad Labem agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad1 Feb 2027

A move Steyn de Haan would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Steyn de Haan is living that version at Ústí nad Labem, and it tends to show in the first month.

Match30 Jan 2027

Ústí nad Labem are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 5 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Player ratings1 Feb 2027

Antonín Vaníček beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Transfer targets1 Feb 2027

Ústí nad Labem rebuffed over Richard Sedláček

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Jablonec have kept their man, and Ústí nad Labem go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The dugout1 Feb 2027

The manager makes an example of Filip Čihák

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Jan Peterka

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

Squad10 Aug 2026

7 saves: Jan Čtvrtečka was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Abdullahi Ibrahim Bewene gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Abdullahi Ibrahim Bewene has just signed for Ústí nad Labem, and for once the answer mattered.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Ústí nad Labem bid $2.4M for Walter González

The offer went to Sportivo Luqueno this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Michal Zapletal due for a Ústí nad Labem medical

Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Alan Do Marcolino signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Alan Do Marcolino commits to Ústí nad Labem for another 3 years.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Door shut on Jáchym Šerák

Ústí nad Labem asked and Pardubice said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

One of our own: Antonin Schick joins the Ústí nad Labem first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Antonin Schick is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: Petr Sima joins the Ústí nad Labem first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Petr Sima is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
