The Dubrava Chronicle
Player ratings24 Jul 2028
Mateo Juričić, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.94
A mark of 7.94 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.
Transfer targets24 Jul 2028
Dubrava bid $2.9M for Vinko Rozić
The offer went to HNK Rijeka this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Filip Marić: 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.” Dubrava have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
Squad24 Jul 2028
Amet Korça 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 Dubrava this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Dubrava bid $28.0K for Rashaan Sewrutton
The offer went to Croatia Zmijavci this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.
Boardroom24 Jul 2028
5 academy graduates step up at Dubrava
Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.
Match22 Jul 2028
Still nobody has beaten Dubrava
The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Dinamo Zagreb tell Dubrava: Juan José Córdoba is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Dubrava supporters have found a favourite in Mateo Juričić
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 19-year-old it feels ownership of. Mateo Juričić has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
