Squad18 Dec 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Andrej Hamsik

16 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. AS Trencin lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match16 Dec 2028

At last: AS Trencin win one

10 matches without a win, and then this, against Spartak Trnava. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

Player ratings18 Dec 2028

Pablo González, 35, rolls back the years — 7.99

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.99 at 35, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Market18 Dec 2028

Only the photograph left for Franck Bahi

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Franck Bahi will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around AS Trencin the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad18 Dec 2028

Words exchanged at AS Trencin

Pepijn Doesburg 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.

Squad18 Dec 2028

Words at AS Trencin training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tadeáš Hájovský 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.

The terraces18 Dec 2028

The crowd has taken to Adrián Fiala

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match16 Dec 2028

AS Trencin see off Spartak Trnava

Three points for AS Trencin, 1‑0 the final word against Spartak Trnava in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The dugout18 Dec 2028

Hugo Pávek 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.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • The dugout Gia Nadareishvili has become a man the manager trusts
  • Looking ahead The leaders are next for AS Trencin

Match9 Dec 2028

10 matches without a win for AS Trencin

The run now stands at 10, and the questions being asked around AS Trencin are no longer polite ones.

Squad11 Dec 2028

The knee: Andrej Hamsik out for 23 days

23 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. AS Trencin lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Player ratings11 Dec 2028

Nobody could get near Adrián Fiala

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad11 Dec 2028

AS Trencin lose Gia Nadareishvili

67 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The dugout11 Dec 2028

Peter Sallai: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” AS Trencin have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market11 Dec 2028

Nentaka Bangs has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around AS Trencin they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad11 Dec 2028

Tempers go at AS Trencin

Pepijn Doesburg 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.

Squad11 Dec 2028

A row about effort at AS Trencin

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

Match9 Dec 2028

A bad afternoon for AS Trencin against DAC Dunajska Streda

0‑2 to DAC Dunajska Streda, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad4 Dec 2028

The knee: Andrej Hamsik out for 30 days

30 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. AS Trencin lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match2 Dec 2028

The wait goes on for AS Trencin

9 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match4 Dec 2028

AS Trencin sink to position 10

17 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Market4 Dec 2028

Dylann Kam has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around AS Trencin they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad4 Dec 2028

Pepijn Doesburg 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 AS Trencin this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad4 Dec 2028

A row about effort at AS Trencin

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

Match2 Dec 2028

A bad afternoon for AS Trencin against Podbrezova

0‑1 to Podbrezova, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout4 Dec 2028

No hiding place for Mikuláš Bakaľa

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

Boardroom4 Dec 2028

Nobody left the AS Trencin dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

In brief
