In line with the rules? Absolutely. In line with ethics and morality? Well… Everyone has their own opinion, of course. A good part of the public is critical, but Safet Hadžić defends himself as having done nothing wrong. What is it all about? The Ljubljana man is in a match with Rogaška after less than a minute, he replaced a 17-year-old player from Koper. Promising Luka Žavbi started the match to satisfy Koper’s criteria
of the Football Association of Slovenia. After the first touch of the ball, he was on the bench.
“The rules are clear. The NZS wrote them that way, so they were aware of everything that could happen. But if they think they have made the wrong choice, they will change the rule. We certainly follow these rules. After all, you could lose an inning because of it. That’s why I had problems in Rogaška Slatina, it was risky,“, Safet Hadžić told Sportal. The former Olimpija coach added: “The case is this. I’m old enough and experienced enough to prepare a player for everything. This player (Luka Žavbi, op. p.) has already played for us in the Cup. He is developing in the right direction, but he needs to get used to both the good and the bad things in his career if he ever wants to play football. There is joy and disappointment in his career, so this will be welcome in his development and can only strengthen him.”
Hadžić compared himself to a famous film actor
The coach, who replaced Zoran Zeljković at Bonifika, is confident that Žavbi will be fine: “The debut was what it was, but it still counts. And it won’t fail because of it. We still have a lot of work to do with him, but it’s interesting that nobody knew about him until this ‘controversial’ thing happened, and now he is perhaps the most popular football player as far as our club is concerned..”
Safet Hadžić also pointed out that he was surprised by the rather harsh reaction of the Slovenian public, and made a rather unusual comparison.This move was met not with a pleasant but with a disgusted response. But I can give a comparison. Look at Anthony Hopkins. He is remembered for his many negative roles in films, but he is still a great actor. And a highly intelligent actor.“
