Sorry it was Dinamo U21 (not U19)
Noa Mikic was playing.
Does anyone actually watch Krama on a regular basis at Hoffenheim?
Perhaps we should replace Krama’s game (that nobody really cares about) with Luka Vuskovic 09:30 EDT Saturday vs. RB Leipzig?
Franjo Ivanovic is getting very few minutes under Mourinho (subbed on 82′ in a cup match against a second tier team today).
Meanwhile, Sebastien Pocognoli, who is Franjo’s former coach at Union SG, is now in charge of Monaco. I believed he placed a lot of trust in Franjo when both were working together and he used a lineup with 2 strikers at Union SG. Come January transfer window, let’s see if the two of them can reunite via a loan arrangement. Quite unlikely yes, but never say never I guess…
Benfica have 7 games b/w the October and November int’l windows
This was the first game – they play every 4 days (one game comes 3 days after the previous) – that’s a lot of games
Doubt Pavlidis (who scored 2 more goals y’day) starts every one of those games – so Ivanovic will get his chance to start – and has to take it
Also, all it takes is Pavlidis picking up an injury and Ivanovic gets his chance to start
We need to be patient – will be shocked if he doesn’t get a chance to start soonish (Newcastle isTuesday – tough match away – but Benfica really need to pick up at least a point there – so Mourihno probably starts Pavlidis again)
P.S. Anonymous will have a chance to watch Monaco this Wednesday in the Champions League vs. T – so will report back if looks like they have a need for a Franjo (but looking at their front 3/forward options on paper – they looked pretty stacked tbh)
Nice! Btw Ivanovic is ineligible to represent Monaco or any other club in the rest of the CL competition. If Monaco reaches the knockout phase, I doubt it would make much sense for them to bring in Franjo. Eh… sucks to know Monaco are stacked up front, but I think their first choice CF, Biereth – who was amazing last season) – has had a slow start to the season. Hope he flops today vs Angers and next week in CL vs T. =P
True what you said, when Ivanovic gets a chance to start for Benfica, he must seize the chance and deliver. Even when coming off the bench, I hope he can somehow find a way to score from time to time, like what Musa did back then.
