The Croatian basketball team Splitformerly known as Jugoplastyis one of the most historic clubs in Europehowever in recent years it has disappeared from the top tier, gradually losing the huge fan base it once had.
For this situation broke out Rocco Leni Ukic. Their former guard Panathinaikos and AEK was born in Split and is a “native” of the club’s Academies, so he expressed his displeasure that the team’s stadium was almost empty in the match against Red Star.
“I’m really disappointed and shocked that it didn’t go more than 500 people on the field. I can’t believe there aren’t 2,000 people in Split who, if nothing else, want to see a conductor like Milos Teodosic to play This is a very attractive opponent that has a budget 20 million euroswhich you don’t see everyday.
I know that the Split audience is spoiled and used to regular o Red Star and Partizan and beat Split. However, I have played in a lot worse teams from her and the field was always full against these two. This is simply incomprehensible”said among others Ukitch.
