Squad

Stefan Benes breaks a bone — 14 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 14 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Eyad Al-Nasser 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 Spartak Myjava can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Martin Šulek 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 Spartak Myjava this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Spartak Myjava training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Luka Badžim 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

Martin Rýzek 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.

Boardroom

Spartak Myjava sign 6 boys into the academy

None of them will be seen by anybody outside the training ground for three years, most of them will never play a senior match, and one of them might change the club. That is the whole proposition, and it is why academies exist.

Squad

Stefan Benes breaks a bone — 21 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 21 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Tomé Almeida is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Market

Spartak Myjava get their man

The chase for Tomáš Buchwaldek ended with $140.0K changing hands and MFK Ruzomberok out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Spartak Myjava break the bank for Martin Šulek

$1.7M. No player has ever cost Spartak Myjava more, and expectation arrives with him.

Match

Every point is an argument now for Spartak Myjava

Position 12 and 7 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Squad

Stefan Benes breaks a bone — 28 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 28 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

The wait goes on for Spartak Myjava

12 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Spartak Myjava

0‑4 against DAC Dunajska Streda, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Match

Spartak Myjava are in real trouble now

Position 11, 5 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Match

The goals have deserted Spartak Myjava

7 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Spartak Myjava can tell you which week it ends in.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Denis Kubica

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

Martin Rýzek gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Martin Rýzek has just signed for Spartak Myjava, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Home is on Luka Badžim's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Spartak Myjava are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad

Tempers go at Spartak Myjava

Orest Kuzyk 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.

Boardroom

Doors closed at Spartak Myjava

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.
