Continue voting in our poll until midnight today. We will publish the results on Sunday (3/12/2024) – who is the best foreigner in Meridianbet 1.CFL.
In your opinion, the best “foreign” soccer player in Montenegro?
FK Sutjeska
The people of Nikšić currently have three foreigners in the team.
It is difficult to find again on the football market a player like the Dutchman Tyrone Conrad in the 22/23 season.
That rarely happens considering the budgets of our clubs.
Let’s not forget the excellent Frenchman Wajdi Sahli, who now plays for Radnički from Kragujevac and provides excellent football games.
Dušan Živković, his class is indisputable, after two excellent seasons spent in Rudar, the games in the Sutjeska jersey are not at the expected level or the one he is capable of providing.
Injuries have “slowed him down” a lot, he has played only 10 games or 379 minutes on the field.
Milan Mirosavljev played in serious clubs and built a pretty good career.
He had his good moments and effective goals, but seems to lack continuity.
So far, he has played 15 games and scored three goals.
Yanis Beghdadi, an Algerian with a French passport, an extremely interesting player who drew attention to himself with his games, but he has only a period of proof ahead of him.
Since his arrival, he has played 8 games in the Sutjeska jersey.
Milan Mirosavljev, born on April 24, 1995 in Vrbas, Serbia, is 28 years old, 1.88 meters tall and plays as a center forward.
During his career, Mirosavljev performed for clubs such as Zeleznicar Pancevo, Mladost NS, Partizan, Liepaja, Proleter NS, Irtysh, Vojvodina, Buducnosti, Dolina Padina and Kula.
Dušan Živković, born on July 31, 1996 in Leskovac, Serbia.
He is 1.79 meters tall and plays as an attacking midfielder.
During his career, Živković played for Rudar Pljevlja, Rad, Radnički Niš, Crvena Zvezda, Bežania and Spartak Subotica.
He was also a member of the Serbian youth national team (Serbia U19).
Yanis Beghdadi, born on October 6, 2004, is 19 years old and has French citizenship, with Algerian origins.
He plays as a left winger and plays for the Algerian U18 national team.
The transfer to Sutjesk followed after playing for the French club SC Air Bel.
FK Jezero
Jezero has five foreigners on his team. For the last two or three seasons, since the Lake is in the Meridian Bet League, it mostly “hits” with foreigners and adapted to its budget.
They surely find optimal solutions and deny the theory that there is no “reinforcement” in our Second League.
Japanese Naoki arrived from Podgorica, Ermin Imamović from Bokelje, and Brazilian Bereta from Beran.
Generally, this club was a good “springboard” in the further career of all those players.
Let’s remember the Senegalese Mamadou Mendi, the Argentinian Faust, Mujeci and others.
Ermin Imamović, 16 games in the Jezera jersey, an excellent reinforcement, he is certainly in the group of the best “stoppers” in the league.
Senaga Naoki certainly has the best season in Montenegro, his statistics are 17 games and 5 goals.
The Brazilian Luccas Heinricky Alves Barreto has 14 games and 1 goal, a great technician and playmaker.
Argentinean Facundo Walter Aranda got better and better as the season progressed – 13 games and 1 goal.
Spaniard Raul Otsuro Inou Paiva De Toledo Pereira did not register minutes in official matches.
Walter Facundo Aranda, born on March 18, 2000, is 23 years old and a citizen of Argentina.
He plays on the left wing. Before FK Jezera, Aranda played for the club Sp. Peñarol.
He previously played for San Telmo II and Sta Lucía U22.
Luccas Heinricky Alves Barreto, born on September 19, 1995 in Curitiba, Brazil, is 28 years old and a Brazilian citizen.
He is 1.76 meters tall and plays as an offensive midfielder.
He came to FC Jezero from FC Berana. Before that he played for CAC Renaux, Andraus-PR, CE União, São Joseense, Madureira, Jataiense, Prudentópolis and Coritiba FC B.
Naoaki Senaga, born on July 19, 1998 in Yokohama, Kanagawa, is 25 years old and a Japanese citizen.
He is 1.78 meters tall and plays as an offensive midfielder.
He started his career playing for teams like Yokohama FC U18 and Senshu University in Japan, before coming to Montenegro to Mladost DG. In 2021, he will come to Plav and join the Jezera team.
