Franko Andrijašević, Rijeka midfielder, was pronounced the best football player of the year in the poll conducted by tportal among football captains for the 14th time in a row. The title of the best MAXtv Premier League went to Andrijašević in a race balanced like never before – with just four points more than the Algerian runner-up Soudani.
tportal.hr conducted its now already traditional poll among all club captains of the MAXtv Premier League, selecting the best football player based on the sum of their votes. Each captain selected five football players he considered to have shown most in the field. The first, that is the best football player was given ten points, while the fifth one was given two points. After counting all points, the Rijeka midfielder became the best MAXtv Premier League football player having been awarded 54 points of potential 100, while his runner-up was Soudani, Dinamo forward and the best shot of the MAXtv Premier League with 10 scores, who had been awarded 50 points.
Prior to his expressing gratitude for the votes, we reminded Andrijašević that on earlier occasions this title had also been awarded to Niko Kranjčar, Eduardo da Silva, Luka Modrić, Mario Mandžukić, Sammir, Leon Benko, Andrej Kramarić, Marin Tomasov…
“It is a great honour and pleasure to be voted the best football player according to tportal’s poll. It is a great feeling to join the ranks of such well-known players who were awarded this prize, and it is a special honour when your work is recognised by your colleagues in the field. I am pleased that my good plays throughout all the year have been recognised, both in the Lokomotiva club and while wearing the kit of Rijeka. The transfer to Rijeka proved to be an excellent career move, and Rijeka’s quality work is substantiated by the fact alone that tportal’s prize has been awarded to a Rijeka player for the fourth time in a row. I believe that we will continue with our good results throughout the second part of the season and celebrate with our fans at the end of the season. I would like to thank my family and everyone who is standing by me and supporting my career”, said Andrijašević on occasion of the presentation of tportal’s award.
