No short code found
Portal Rolaj Me analyzes the “performance” of foreign players in Meridjanbet 1.CFL.
According to the old saying “as much money as music”, our clubs also try to find good solutions in accordance with the budget they have.
The rule is that a foreign player should be twice as good as a local player in order to really be a reinforcement. But finances take their toll.
Today, according to our view, we analyzed the achievements of international players in FK Budućnost (3 foreigners), FK Mornar (4), FK Jedinstvo Franca (4), FK Mladost Lob.Bet (4) and Arsenal (3).

FK Jedinstvo Franca
The Unity France team has four foreigners. Our opinion is that it did not “hit” with the reinforcements. The only exception can be defender from Serbia Igor Bašić.
Igor Bašić from Serbia, stopper, played the most minutes (14 games – 1260 minutes).
Brazilian Ubiratan Brandao de Souza certainly has quality and class, he was one of the more vocal reinforcements, with 9 games played, 291 minutes on the field and one goal scored.
However, his adaptation period was long, and he was expected to make a “difference” off the field in favor of Unity, which did not happen.
Two Australian footballers are also part of the squad.
Domenico Elias did not have a chance to perform, while the other Australian player Campana Enzo played only two matches, collecting 47 minutes on the field.
