Player ratings23 Jan 2034

Both of them Slobodan Tedić's — 8.65

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.65, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market23 Jan 2034

Patrick Jorge hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Zeleznicar Pancevo can pretend not to have heard.

Squad23 Jan 2034

Defences have started doubling up on David Ankeye

14 goals and a season average of 7.43 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Squad23 Jan 2034

Predrag Simic arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Predrag Simic has, at Zeleznicar Pancevo, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad23 Jan 2034

Tempers go at Zeleznicar Pancevo

Kristian Šekularac 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.

Match21 Jan 2034

Spartak Subotica take the points off Zeleznicar Pancevo

Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad23 Jan 2034

A row about effort at Zeleznicar Pancevo

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

Transfer targets23 Jan 2034

Door shut on Gvidas Gineitis

Zeleznicar Pancevo asked and Crvena Zvezda said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Player ratings23 Jan 2034

Lukáš Dvořáček was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 18. 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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad6 Sep 2032

A knee injury of the worst kind for Alexandros Parras

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

The dugout6 Sep 2032

Sergej Jovanovic says Mladost Lucani went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market6 Sep 2032

Predrag Simic hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Mladost Lucani can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom6 Sep 2032

Mladost Lucani close the window on a squad of their own making

10 in and 12 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Transfer targets6 Sep 2032

The paperwork begins on Roderik Hinoul

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Mladost Lucani have done the hard part with Radnicki Nis, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Transfer targets6 Sep 2032

No thanks: Veljko Radosavljević rejects the move

Mladost Lucani had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at TSC, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad6 Sep 2032

Ognjen Alempijević 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 Mladost Lucani this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad6 Sep 2032

Words at Mladost Lucani training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mihailo Oreščanin 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.

Transfer targets6 Sep 2032

Door shut on Marko Gudžulić

Mladost Lucani asked and Partizan said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad2 Aug 2032

Ognjen Alempijević: 10 seasons and counting

178 appearances across 10 seasons in one shirt. Careers like that are not built on purpose any more, and Mladost Lucani know exactly what they have.

Market2 Aug 2032

Only the photograph left for Kézian Mougammadou

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Kézian Mougammadou will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Mladost Lucani the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad2 Aug 2032

A falling-out at Mladost Lucani

Mihailo Todosijević and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad2 Aug 2032

Bruno Díaz 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.

Transfer targets2 Aug 2032

Partizan tell Mladost Lucani: Branislav Knežević 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.

Player ratings2 Aug 2032

Bruno Díaz beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad2 Aug 2032

Predrag Simic is the month’s best young player

At 19 he was better than everybody his age in the division for four weeks running, which is harder than one good afternoon. Mladost Lucani will try not to make too much of it.

Transfer targets2 Aug 2032

Mladost Lucani try to borrow Marko Veličković

Partizan 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.

Transfer targets2 Aug 2032

Mladost Lucani try to borrow Veljko Radosavljević

TSC 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.
