Vukovar returned to Supersport HNL after 25 years, but instead of celebration, the club faces a real drama – domestic players are fleeing as if the pitch is contagious! Coach Gordon Schildenfeld openly says Vukovar has become a ‘legion of foreigners’ because Croats would rather sit on the bench than play for their own club. Only foreign players like Brazilian Leoni Gastaldel and French Samuel Koeberle have been brought in, while the club desperately seeks more reinforcements. Is this the end of domestic football in Vukovar or just the beginning of a new era? Comment – are domestic players lazy or is the club the problem? Who’s to blame for this ‘legion of foreigners’?
