Squad

A fracture rules Jakub Holúbek out for 16 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason AS Trencin will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings

Pepijn Doesburg scores twice — 8.80

Two goals and a mark of 8.80 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

The dugout

Mikkel Boye keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” AS Trencin may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

AS Trencin lose Pablo González

33 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ridwan Sanusi

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Words exchanged at AS Trencin

Pepijn Doesburg 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

Pepijn Doesburg sends AS Trencin past FK Senica

It finished 2‑0, and it was Pepijn Doesburg’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to AS Trencin.

Market

Andrija Katić told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Andrija Katić has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at AS Trencin.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Jonathan Mulder at his very best

Marked 8.31. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at AS Trencin.

Squad

39 days out for Jakub Holúbek after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. AS Trencin will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Tempers go at AS Trencin

Jakub Paur 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.

Squad

Richard Križan 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.

Match

AS Trencin come up short against MSK Zilina

MSK Zilina left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Jan Duris to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Tadeáš Hájovský

“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.

Player ratings

Pablo González runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 13. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

The Pepijn Doesburg talk will not go away

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

The dugout

Richie Musaba left out for tactical reasons at AS Trencin

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

Jakub Holúbek breaks a bone — 63 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 63 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

Vintage Pablo González — 8.08

At 33 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.08, and nobody on the pitch better.

Player ratings

Ridwan Sanusi runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Real improvement from Dominik Ťapaj at AS Trencin

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Dominik Ťapaj is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Jakub Paur 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 AS Trencin this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A late step up for Andrija Katić

At 24 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Match

AS Trencin find a way past Zlate Moravce

Zlate Moravce made AS Trencin work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The dugout

Mikheil Makatsaria dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

The dugout

Jan Duris: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.

Match

AS Trencin bow out of the cup

MFK Skalica go through and AS Trencin go home, 0‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Market

Andrija Katić asks to leave AS Trencin

“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.

Player ratings

Pablo González runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 28. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Boardroom

AS Trencin go back to the board over Karol Blaško

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $450.0K — a club that wants Karol Blaško enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Dominik Ťapaj

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. AS Trencin have done the hard part with Viktoria Plzen, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Transfer targets

AS Trencin make their move for Karol Blaško

$430.0K on the table at DAC Dunajska Streda. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market

AS Trencin say no — this time

The offer from MSK Zilina for Roshaun Mathurin was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets

AS Trencin baulk at the price for Fabian Bzdyl

MSK Zilina wanted more than $380.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad

Pablo González 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 AS Trencin this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Pepijn Doesburg scores twice — 9.23

Two goals and a mark of 9.23 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Jakub Holúbek yet — 7.80

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.80 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market

AS Trencin say no — this time

The offer from MFK Ruzomberok for Dimitri Jepihhin was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets

No deal for Samuel Ďatko at that price

AS Trencin offered $760.0K; MSK Zilina said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Transfer targets

An offer of $380.0K for Fabian Bzdyl

AS Trencin have gone to MSK Zilina with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ridwan Sanusi

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at AS Trencin

Pablo González 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.

Market

Loïc Bessilé moves on

Spartak Trnava pay $340.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Match

AS Trencin find a way past Spartak Myjava

Spartak Myjava made AS Trencin work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Match

Nowhere to hide for AS Trencin

0‑4 against MSK Zilina, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Transfer targets

AS Trencin make their move for Samuel Ďatko

$760.0K on the table at MSK Zilina. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets

An offer of $720.0K for Daniel Köstl

AS Trencin have gone to MFK Ruzomberok with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Boardroom

AS Trencin go back to the board over Daniel Köstl

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $750.0K — a club that wants Daniel Köstl enough to be asked twice.

Squad

A falling-out at AS Trencin

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

Squad

Gia Nadareishvili stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Gia Nadareishvili and AS Trencin agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Transfer targets

Viktoria Plzen tell AS Trencin: Dominik Ťapaj 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.

Market

Dominik Valjent steps up from the AS Trencin academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Dominik Valjent 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

AS Trencin promote Erik Sestak from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Erik Sestak 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.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Andrija Katić stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad

Pablo González signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Pablo González and AS Trencin agree another 2 years.

Squad

Tempers go at AS Trencin

Andrija Katić 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.

Squad

Pablo González 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 targets

AS Trencin rebuffed over Hilmir Rafn Mikaelsson

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Sigma Olomouc have kept their man, and AS Trencin go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Player ratings

Franko Sabljić did the work nobody counts — 6.58

12 combined actions and 6.58. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Player ratings

Ridwan Sanusi 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.

Match

Spartak Trnava take the points off AS Trencin

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market

Talks stall between AS Trencin and Pablo González

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

In brief
