Transfer targets

Fee done, terms next for Ralf Becker

HNK Vukovar 1991 and BSK Bijelo Brdo have settled on $61.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Market

Benjamin Hill asks to leave HNK Vukovar 1991

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Words exchanged at HNK Vukovar 1991

Nenad Nikić 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.

Squad

Daniel Vinković is carrying HNK Vukovar 1991

14 goals and a season average of 7.20. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Bruno Mišura

HNK Vukovar 1991 asked and Dinamo Zagreb said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match

HNK Vukovar 1991 see off Sesvete

Three points for HNK Vukovar 1991, 1‑0 the final word against Sesvete in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The dugout

Aphelele Teto left out for the big one

A player who expected to start watched it instead. The manager will call it a decision for the team; Aphelele Teto will call it something else in private.

Player ratings

Daniel Vinković takes the honours

Marked 7.95 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, HNK Vukovar 1991 had the best player on the pitch.

Transfer targets

HNK Vukovar 1991 try to borrow Bruno Mišura

Dinamo Zagreb have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

The dugout

Benjamin Hill: 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.” HNK Vukovar 1991 have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Words exchanged at HNK Vukovar 1991

Nenad Nikić 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for HNK Vukovar 1991 against Dugo Selo

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

The dugout

Antonio Đaković 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.

Looking ahead

Top-of-the-table clash for HNK Vukovar 1991

Opatija next, and the two sides the division is watching meet each other. Whoever wins will be told nothing is decided in the same breath as being congratulated.

Squad

HNK Vukovar 1991 count the cost of losing Tin Juranovic

30 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout

Interim Coach faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Interim Coach after 0‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad

Nourdine Camara 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.

Player ratings

Petar Bogdan was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 13. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match

The view from the top for HNK Vukovar 1991

20 points, and the rest of the division looking up. Every side that finishes first spends the season pretending it is not thinking about it, and this one has started pretending.

Market

Benjamin Hill puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at HNK Vukovar 1991, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Nenad Nikić 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.

Boardroom

HNK Vukovar 1991 beat the market to Marko Cukon from Lokomotiva Zagreb

Lokomotiva Zagreb will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Marko Cukon has pre-agreed a move to HNK Vukovar 1991, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Squad

Tempers go at HNK Vukovar 1991

Ivo Vukić 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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Petar Bogdan

At 21 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.

Match

HNK Vukovar 1991 see off Sesvete

Three points for HNK Vukovar 1991, 1‑0 the final word against Sesvete in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Kristijan Pavičić is slowing down

At 36, 3 points below where he was, and a body that has started charging interest. It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph on this page.

Player ratings

Daniel Vinković takes the honours

Marked 7.78 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, HNK Vukovar 1991 had the best player on the pitch.

The terraces

The mood at HNK Vukovar 1991 has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Squad

Words exchanged at HNK Vukovar 1991

Aphelele Teto 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.

Squad

Words at HNK Vukovar 1991 training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nenad Nikić 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 dugout

Aphelele Teto knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Aphelele Teto trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout

Kauã Valente gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Kauã Valente is on it.

Market

The Antonio Đaković talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. HNK Vukovar 1991 know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Market

The clock does Franko Jakšić’s negotiating for him

4 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee HNK Vukovar 1991 could ask drops and the wages Franko Jakšić can ask rise.

The dugout

A door opens for Tin Orsic

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Boardroom

The HNK Vukovar 1991 academy earns its keep

81 graduates, from a department now rated 7 out of 20. Nothing about the academy appears in a result, and nothing about the club’s future exists without it.
