Dejan Meleg 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 Sibenik this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match5 Oct 2030

Sibenik see off Imotski

Three points for Sibenik, 2‑1 the final word against Imotski in a contest settled by the finer margins.

A masterclass from Nikola Krajinović

Marked 8.96 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

A masterclass from Sven Šunta

Marked 8.97 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Tomislav Benko in the eights

A performance of 8.55 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad7 Oct 2030

Sven Šunta is carrying Sibenik

7 goals and a season average of 7.34. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Squad7 Oct 2030

Luka Savatović 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.

Boardroom7 Oct 2030

87% of the income goes out in wages at Sibenik

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad7 Oct 2030

Dejan Meleg loses the armband

The captaincy has been taken off Dejan Meleg. Sibenik will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.

Henry Johnson 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 The request is on a desk at Sibenik, and it is not being withdrawn.

Tempers go at Sibenik

Dejan Meleg 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.

Tomislav Benko shuts the door

Defensive actions: 22, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings5 Aug 2030

One of those days for Sven Šunta

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.15, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match3 Aug 2030

Henrique Devens the difference as Sibenik beat Imotski

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Henrique Devens. 2‑0 against Imotski, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Henrique Devens in the eights

A performance of 8.00 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings5 Aug 2030

Nobody could get near Nikola Krajinović

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad5 Aug 2030

Henrique Devens finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Sibenik have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Squad5 Aug 2030

Agustín Morel knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Agustín Morel trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
