Israeli Midfielder Abu Fani Proves His Worth at Red Star Belgrade

Despite speculation about his future, Israeli midfielder Moanes Abu Fani continues to impress for Red Star Belgrade. Although the Serbian champions drew 0-0 with Radnik on Thursday, Abu Fani was one of the standout performers on the field, earning a SofaScore rating of 7.2. He contributed two key passes, completed 43 out of 47 passes, won four out of eight duels, and recovered the ball four times.

Abu Fani has been deployed in a relatively advanced midfield role in Red Star's 3:2:4:1 formation and has started three of the team's last four matches. He has played 673 minutes so far, with only two teammates, Timi Max Elšnik (740 minutes) and Young Woo Seoul (700 minutes), having played more. Considering Abu Fani missed matches due to a suspension from Europa League qualifiers, stemming from a red card against Beitar Jerusalem, his playing time relative to the total available minutes is the highest at 67.9% (673 out of 990 minutes).

Following the match, coach Alberto Riera expressed satisfaction with the team's performance, stating, "We controlled the game. We created 15-20 chances. If that's not enough to score, we'll create double. That's what I'll tell my players. I am satisfied because everyone gave their all. We were significantly better."
