Squad

Pavel Stanek damages knee ligaments — 46 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 46 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Jan Bačkovský 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 Zlin this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Zlin training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Denis Višinský 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

Home is on Didier Lefèvre'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; Zlin are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Market

Teplice expected to open talks for Štěpán Bachůrek

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Zlin will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Market

Štěpán Bachůrek placed on the list

Zlin have made Štěpán Bachůrek available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Match

Squad

Antonín Křapka 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 Zlin this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Tomáš Poznar

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

Market

Zlin buy the years ahead of Vladimir Soucek

He is 14, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Market

Zlin sign David Coufal, one for the future

David Coufal is 17, and Zlin have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market

Zlin sign Daniel Jankto, one for the future

Daniel Jankto is 16, and Zlin have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.
