Words exchanged at Djakovo Croatia

Ivan Ivanovic steps up from the Djakovo Croatia academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ivan Ivanovic 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.

Diter Đuričić wants out of the dugout
“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Djakovo Croatia will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

Point won or two lost for Djakovo Croatia?
Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Uljanik Pula? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.
