He started the match on the bench, came onto the field at the beginning of the second half, but by the end of the game, he was no longer on the pitch. Marko Božić experienced something nobody would wish for. The Maribor player, born in Austria, was substituted twice: he entered the game in the 46th minute and was taken off by Ante Šimundža in the 79th minute.
At the substitution, when Ante Šimundža brought in the young Tine Čuk, Marko Božić didn’t hide his dissatisfaction. The former player of Frosinone walked straight to the locker room, and even after the game, Ante Šimundža didn’t hold back.
“A player who enters the game must earn the right to stay on the field for 45 minutes. A player who starts must earn the right to stay in the game. There’s no other way. Marko Božić didn’t deserve to stay on the field,” Ante Šimundža was highly critical in front of the Sportklub camera after the draw with Koper (3-3). However, Marko Božić wasn’t the only one who angered the manager of the purples; he was equally sharp with everyone else – more about it here.
