Match

Lucko out of the cup

Sesvete ended it 1‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Player ratings

Krešimir Radoš, 18, plays like he has been here for years — 8.01

A mark of 8.01 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 18-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Tin Karamatić 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 The request is on a desk at Lucko, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

No end in sight to Lucko's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Lucko has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

No clean sheets in sight for Lucko

5 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Squad

A falling-out at Lucko

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

Transfer targets

Lucko baulk at the price for Luka Senjak

Sesvete wanted more than $4.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Arnór Gauti Jónsson

Lucko asked and Slaven Belupo 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

Cibalia take the points off Lucko

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Match

Lucko let it slip despite Krešimir Radoš

Krešimir Radoš had done his part in building a 2-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and Dugopolje were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.

Player ratings

A brace, and Krešimir Radoš takes the afternoon — 8.50

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Krešimir Radoš provided it, and the 8.50 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

Words exchanged at Lucko

Robert Ćosić 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.

Transfer targets

Lucko make their move for Luka Senjak

$4.0K on the table at Sesvete. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Player ratings

Dominik Celija beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Petar Brlek

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

The terraces

One of their own: Krešimir Radoš

He is 18 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Squad

Daniel Katić is a square peg at Lucko

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Market

Lucko and Daniel Katić are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Lucko

0‑3 against Sesvete, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad

Daniel Katić 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. Daniel Katić has, at Lucko, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Transfer targets

Krešimir Radoš is a medical away from Lucko

The deal with Dinamo Zagreb is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad

Robert Ćosić 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 Lucko this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Lucko

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

Market

Stipe Sutalo steps up from the Lucko academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Stipe Sutalo 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.

Market

Lucko promote Marko Stanisic from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Marko Stanisic 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.

Market

Ante Boric steps up from the Lucko academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ante Boric 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.

Market

One of our own: Marko Erceg joins the Lucko first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Marko Erceg is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

In brief

  • Squad The formation has left Robert Ćosić behind
  • Boardroom Nobody left the Lucko dressing room in a hurry
  • The dugout Ivan Rebic faces the questions
