Lukáš Vorlický runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 41. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

A $680.0K sale, and a town that did not want it
Alan Marinelli has gone, the accounts have $680.0K in them, and the supporters have the feeling of having been sold something themselves. Good business and a good decision are not always the same thing.

Slovacko rebuffed over Antonín Růsek
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Jablonec have kept their man, and Slovacko go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

A falling-out at Slovacko
Marek Havlík and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Business is business: Alan Marinelli goes
Zlin paid $680.0K and Slovacko took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Peter Holič out for 28 days
The medical room confirms 28 days on the sidelines for Peter Holič, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Slovacko sell Patrik Blahút for $280.0K
Patrik Blahút has left for Slavia Prague in a $280.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

The town asked, and Slovacko paid $1.2M
David Látal was the name on every phone-in, and the club has gone and signed him for $1.2M. For one week the board can do no wrong, which is a week most boards never get.

The manager makes an example of Marek Havlík
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
In brief
- Squad Words at Slovacko training over how hard people work
- Squad David Látal is a square peg at Slovacko
