Match

Philip Onyedika settles it late for MFK Skalica

The 85th minute, half the ground already edging towards the exits, and Philip Onyedika decided nobody was going anywhere. AS Trencin had no time left to answer.

Market

Michal Gulíšek 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 The request is on a desk at MFK Skalica, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Richard Ludha

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.

Squad

A falling-out at MFK Skalica

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

Squad

Words at MFK Skalica training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Oliver Podhorín 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.

Match

MFK Skalica get the job done against AS Trencin

A 1‑0 win over AS Trencin, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

MFK Skalica lose Ivan Duda

33 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The dugout

A satisfied David Mazuch

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, David Mazuch could afford to be generous.

The dugout

No hiding place for Lukáš Leginus

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

Market

Jan Knobloch 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 MFK Skalica can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Richard Ludha in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at MFK Skalica this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at MFK Skalica training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Damián Bariš 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.

The dugout

Petr Pudhorocký gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Petr Pudhorocký is on it.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Nentaka Bangs

“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.

The dugout

Lukáš Leginus asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout

A door opens for Olexandr Voytyuk

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

The terraces

The stands have heard the Jan Knobloch talk too

What was a back-page story is now a matter for the terraces, and the terraces do not do nuance. MFK Skalica would like it dealt with before it becomes the only question anybody asks.

Market

Michal Gulíšek placed on the list

MFK Skalica have made Michal Gulíšek available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.
