The Ústí nad Labem Sentinel

České Budějovice come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Ústí nad Labem did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

The wait goes on for Ústí nad Labem
5 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.

Graduation day at Ústí nad Labem
6 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Artem Tarasenko moves on
Prostějov pay $130.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Door shut on Dominik Sváček

A bad afternoon for Ústí nad Labem against Slovacko
1‑2 to Slovacko, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

A falling-out at Ústí nad Labem
Tomáš Kott and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Daniel Holes steps up from the Ústí nad Labem academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Daniel Holes has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Ústí nad Labem promote Vaclav Sykora from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Vaclav Sykora 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.
