Maradonas from Horvati

Ištvan Filakovity

In a village Horvati near Zagreb, football is the most important secondary thing in the world. Main characters, who know a great deal about the game, analyze it, try to guess the future of the team, evaluate the management’s work, and every football match becomes a joyful event. Is the third league becoming the last sanctuary of the football played with true emotions or is it just a simplified mock-up of the true professionalism?
