Kryštof Judas 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 The request is on a desk at Jablonec, and it is not being withdrawn.

Tempers go at Jablonec
Artem Benediuk 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.

No hiding place for James Aisosa Igbinigun
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to James Aisosa Igbinigun, and the manager let it.
