Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Fran Kovacevic

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

Match

Cruel end for Dugopolje as Sesvete pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Sesvete scored in the 95th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Market

Riad Mašala agrees terms with Varteks

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Sesvete people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Player ratings

Both of them Antonio Kuš's — 8.31

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.31, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market

Toni Gorupec puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Sesvete, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Marko Ivan Gašparac: 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.” Sesvete have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Antonio Kuš stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Antonio Kuš and Sesvete agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match

Sesvete see off Dugopolje

Three points for Sesvete, 3‑2 the final word against Dugopolje in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Words at Sesvete training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Moses Zambrang Barnabas 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

The knee: Fran Kovacevic out for 23 days

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

The dugout

Teo Barišić keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Sesvete may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Tempers go at Sesvete

Ilan Pejić 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.

Transfer targets

Istra 1961 tell Sesvete: Lovre Lončar 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: Antonio Kuš

He is 23 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

Sesvete find a way past Hrvace

Hrvace made Sesvete work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Words at Sesvete training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Vanja Šare 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.

Player ratings

Petar Antolković did the work nobody counts — 7.44

10 combined actions and 7.44. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Squad

Franco Beljo stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Franco Beljo and Sesvete agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
