A knee injury of the worst kind for Martin Koscelník
22 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. MFK Michalovce lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Squad22 Jul 2030
28 days out for Patrik Pinte after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. MFK Michalovce will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.
Squad22 Jul 2030
9 saves: Adam Jakubech was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 9 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.
Transfer targets22 Jul 2030
MFK Michalovce agree $100.0K for Matej Dula
The clubs have shaken hands with Spartak Trnava; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.
Transfer targets22 Jul 2030
No thanks: Matej Jurička rejects the move
MFK Michalovce had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Slovan Bratislava, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.
Market22 Jul 2030
Viktor Sestak is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at MFK Michalovce is pretending he will be back in the shirt.
Squad22 Jul 2030
Real improvement from Andrej Mazuch at MFK Michalovce
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Andrej Mazuch is 17, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.
Boardroom22 Jul 2030
Graduation day at MFK Michalovce
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
Match20 Jul 2030
Slovan Bratislava take the points off MFK Michalovce
Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
