Jakub Markovič says Slavia Prague 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.

David Zima wants more than Slavia Prague are offering
“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

David Stanek steps up from the Slavia Prague academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. David Stanek 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.

“The easiest signature of my career.” Vladimir Perišić and Slavia Prague agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

When it matters, Michal Kohút plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The manager makes an example of Vladimir Perišić
“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.
