Age has not caught Roko Jureškin yet — 8.14
At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.14 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Tempers go at Spartak Trnava
Nino Marcelli 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.

Nino Marcelli is carrying Spartak Trnava
15 goals and a season average of 7.23. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

4 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

A masterclass from Nino Marcelli
Marked 8.00 — 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.

Andrej Kucka stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Andrej Kucka and Spartak Trnava agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
