Ivan Leko made a very surprising change on Sunday afternoon. At a 1-0 deficit, Lior Refaelov was taken to the side for Martin Hongla.
Refaelov did not look at all satisfied with his change. The Israeli also seemed to be in the right place. Ivan Leko explained the change afterwards The newspapaer: “Rafa started well, but I had to intervene. Very unfortunate for him because he certainly played his match.”
“I wanted to play with three in midfield and switched to four defenders in the back. That way I was able to let Lamkel Zé offer support to Mbokani. With Didier we simply had more chance of the counterattack,” said the Croat.
