Slovenski reprezentančni napadalec Andraž Šporar je obnorel navijače angleškega drugoligaša Middlesbrougha. Nogometaš, ki za yorkshirski klub nastopa kot posojen igralec portugalskega velikana Sportinga, se je v sredo zvečer znova vpisal med strelce in bil tako med najzaslužnejšimi za gostujočo zmago z 2:1 pri Blackpoolu. To je bil njegov tretji zadetek na treh dvobojih, na vsakem je bil natančen po enkrat.
Middlesbrough se je z dobro formo, dobili so pet od zadnjih šest tekem, povzpel na peto mesto lige Championship, ki ob koncu sezone prinaša dodatne kvalifikacije za preboj v Premier League. Za vodilnim Bournemouthom zaostaja sedem točk, za drugim Fulhamom šest. Prvi dve mesti prinašata neposredno uvrstitev med elito.
Šporar je na tekmi z Blackpoolom zadel v 60. minuti, ko je poskrbel za 0:1. Domači so sicer izenačili v 91. minuti, a v nadaljevanju sodniškega dodatka znova prejeli zadetek.
Instantno popularnost Slovenca so s čivkom uporabili tudi pri uradnem twitter profilu lige in navijače Bora vprašali za mnenje o njem.

"On je Slovenec, prišel je le na posojo v tej sezoni, mislimo, da je pofu... briljanten, Andraž Šporar," so jim s pesmijo, ki si jo je pri navijačih prislužil Slovenec, odgovorili pristaši kluba.
Da so tisti, ki stiskajo pesti za Middlesbrough, navdušeni nad Šporarjem, kažejo tudi preostali zapisi na twitterju. Nekaj pohval si je 'Špoki' prislužil tudi od navijačev drugih klubov.
Best striker in this league 🤩 oh and if no one’s mentioned he’s Slovenian 😉

He’s Slovenian and if I caught him in bed with my girlfriend I’d simply thank him and order the man a parmo x

Yes can we have him on a permanent deal @SportingCP_en

Whoever sorted the Sporar loan deal deserves the key to Middlesbrough - if it was Neil Bausor, then I forgive him for allowing us to sign Gestede and Saville. #UTB

Who is this Andraz Sporar fella and why’s he playing amazing for Boro 😭
— Chappers⛄️ (@chappers26) December 29, 2021
I know they say don’t fall in love with a loan player but this feels different. I’d like to think that Sporar is enjoying his time enough here to stay permanently whether we can go up this season or not

Sporar is a little bit special isn’t he? ❤️
