Squad

Tempers go at Vlašim

Zdeněk Říha was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

The step up is real for Jiri Masopust

At 17 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

A row about effort at Vlašim

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

The dugout

Zdeněk Říha 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.

Match

Opava take the points off Vlašim

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Vlašim

16 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout

Adam Barak faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Adam Barak after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout

A promise honoured at Vlašim

Something was said to Jakub Štěpánek and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

The dugout

The plan did not have a place for Bojan Đorđić

Nobody at Vlašim is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Squad

A move Matěj Radosta 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. Matěj Radosta is living that version at Vlašim, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from František Kotek

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Ondřej Pavlík

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Vlašim have done the hard part with Sparta Prague, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Transfer targets

Jakub Martinec turns down Vlašim

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Sparta Prague keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Market

Dominik Soukeník comes home

The shirt still fits. Dominik Soukeník is back at Vlašim, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Squad

Tempers go at Vlašim

Bojan Đorđić was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Jakub Barac falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

Matej Vydra steps up from the Vlašim academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Matej Vydra 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.

Market

Patrik Cerny steps up from the Vlašim academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Patrik Cerny 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.
