Tempers go at Dubrava
Luka Pasariček 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.

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Marco Orsic is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
