Squad

Words at Rudar Velenje training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Adam Vošnjak 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Rudar Velenje

Sabur Ali 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Lukas Tomažič

“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.

Player ratings

Gašper Gaberšek Rotovnik pops up at the right end — 7.42

7.42, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Anas Ibrahimović hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Rudar Velenje can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Rudar Velenje say no — this time

The offer from NK Krsko for Hugo Šelih was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

A falling-out at Rudar Velenje

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

Squad

A move Ivan Omazić 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. Ivan Omazić is living that version at Rudar Velenje, and it tends to show in the first month.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Brown Irabor

Rudar Velenje asked and Koper said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The terraces

One of their own: Gal Gorenak

He is 22 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

Rudar Velenje find a way past NK Krsko

NK Krsko made Rudar Velenje work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Market

Rudar Velenje promote Luka Janza from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Luka Janza has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
