On Saturday, the match between Koper and Rogaška was supposed to be played at Bonifiki, but it wasn’t. The guests were already at Bonifiki, their dressing room was equipped with the jerseys for the game, everything was ready to play. But it didn’t. The reason? The decision of the match delegate Danilo Levačić, who, while reviewing the personnel of both teams, found that the roster of Rogaska does not comply with the new rule on home-grown players. There should have been eight, there were seven.
It is clear what will happen next: Rogaška will lose the game at the green table with a score of 0:3.
Football Association of Slovenia
(NZS) has already announced the
the start of the season
that this will happen to anyone who does not have enough home-grown players on their staff.
What will be Maribor’s reaction?
All well and good, but the NHS finds itself in a very ungrateful position. Not because of the match in Koper. The reason is the Maribor – Rogaska match. According to the rules, the latter should not have been played either! Rogaška also had only seven players in the squad who meet the NHS criteria for home-grown boys. But someone – the experienced Danilo Kacijan was the delegate for this match – apparently overlooked all this and allowed the match to be played.
It ended 2:2, Maribor surprisingly remained without a win, even though they were already leading 2:0. But if Koper gets three points without a fight, we would dare to say that even in Ljudski vrt they will not be too happy that they only got one point against Rogaška, although according to the “legislation” they should have got all three. And without a fight.
They fell because of Slovenian football players
Perhaps the most bizarre thing is that Rogaška “fell” because of three Slovenian and actually home-grown footballers – Žan Benedičič, Žan Lorber and Miha Križan. Benedicic is not in the quota because he left too early for AC Milan in Italy, although – let’s say – he played 40 games in the U15 and U17 leagues, and the two teenagers are simply too young to be in the 15. and 21. has played for the same club for three seasons. It is not worth wasting words on the fact that someone has more than obviously got the rule completely wrong…
