Player ratings

Niko Janković runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 34. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Slovan Bratislava throw away a 2-goal lead

2 in front and in complete control, and it finished with Spartak Myjava the happier side. There is no version of this afternoon that Slovan Bratislava will enjoy reviewing.

Market

Kashiwa Reysol come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Slovan Bratislava did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Daiki Matsuoka 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 Slovan Bratislava this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Rahim Ibrahim 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.

Squad

Cesar Blackman gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings

Tigran Barseghyan stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.95 on the card, and the Slovan Bratislava support went home talking about one name.

Match

Slovan Bratislava share the spoils with Spartak Myjava

A 2‑2 draw with Spartak Myjava leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Market

Rukh are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Slovan Bratislava will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Market

Slovan Bratislava say no — this time

The offer from IMT for Aleksandar Popović 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Tigran Barseghyan

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Rahim Ibrahim wants more than Slovan Bratislava are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad

Tigran Barseghyan stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Tigran Barseghyan and Slovan Bratislava agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Daiki Matsuoka 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 Slovan Bratislava this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Rahim Ibrahim 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

Slovan Bratislava get the job done against MFK Ruzomberok

A 1‑0 win over MFK Ruzomberok, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Market

Slovan Bratislava and Róbert Mak 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.

Market

Nobody at Slovan Bratislava has picked up the phone to Tigran Barseghyan

24 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.
