    FUN FACT
    Oldest European Ultras are from CRO🇭🇷 . Torcida Split 1950 club Hajduk Split
    Short story , few players of "Hajduk Split" were at Maracanã WC 1950 and was amazed of noise they recounted the atmosphere ( organized cheering, smoke bombs, flares , flags etc.) to friends and local people from city 'Split',
    How story about that famous 🇧🇷 "Torcida"(word for 'Ultras' on Portugal language) began to circulate in the city, and they decided to convey that atmosphere and kind of expression of love for Hajduk ♥️💙

    I like your video, everything was covered very well.
    Thanks for your good job.
    The only thing that I want to mention is that you are talking only about Boban and Prosinecki as our stars in our midfield, but Asanovic was the second most important player through these years, after Davor Suker, obviously.
    Everyone from Croatia who followed our team during those years will confirm this.
    Keep good work!
    P.S. Check most of Suker goals, you will realize who was assistent 😉

Do not get me wrong, money is not important, BUT the minimum standard IS very important. School trips, new clothes, one vacation per year. That is what is important to me. It is sad that I have to work in Austria to have a decent salary. I have worked in one big company in Karlovac. They paid me 820-870 euro for 2 shifts, 40 hours per week, full time job. I was literally working one month with 1 million euro product per week. You just had to make it right. And... They "gave" me 20 euro more. Capitalism.
