No sign of nerves from Carlos Daniel Mejia Klinger at 19 — 7.85

The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Carlos Daniel Mejia Klinger did not need any: 7.85, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Match26 Sep 2026

At last: Varteks win one

8 matches without a win, and then this, against Djakovo Croatia. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A row about effort at Varteks

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Karlo Taslak was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match26 Sep 2026

Varteks find a way past Djakovo Croatia

Djakovo Croatia made Varteks work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces28 Sep 2026

One of their own: Messias

He is 20 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Varteks are still strangers to each other

17 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Vedran Ivanovic stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Vedran Ivanovic and Varteks agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Daniel Sucic has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Daniel Sucic on a 2‑1 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Varteks

Lovre Travica and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Ivan Zaverukha keeps Varteks in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match12 Sep 2026

No end in sight to Varteks's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Varteks has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Up for the corner, and Luka Romac delivers — 7.81

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Luka Romac scored, was marked 7.81, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Carlos Daniel Mejia Klinger 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 Varteks this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Messias falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces14 Sep 2026

One of their own: Luka Romac

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Varteks promote Vedran Ivanovic from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Vedran Ivanovic has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Match12 Sep 2026

Varteks caught on 86 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Grobnican scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

Bruno Putica dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.
