Ammar Helac arrives at the club he grew up with
Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Ammar Helac has, at Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz make their move for Luka Reischl
$1.9M on the table at ADO Den Haag. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Marko Martinović goes up and wins it — 7.44
A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.44 for the rest of it.

Sparta Prague tell Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz: Daniel Rus 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.

No hiding place for Ammar Helac
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ammar Helac, and the manager let it.
