Attack / Defence Awareness Card: Attack MindedINFOS:Drulović is one of rare players of FC Porto that was part of the team which won five consecutive Portuguese League titles. His natural position was on the left wing, but coaches used him on both flanks, in the middle, even in the attack. He's best remembered for his exquisite passing ability, especially with his long passes and crosses which were often converted in goals by Jardel. He also provided countless assists by tearing down the opposition defence with precise short passes. He wasn't particularly fast on long distances, although he could accelerate well and lose the opponent. Regarding his small stature, it wasn't easy to knock him down. He helped defence, and covered a good area of the pitch. He was good dribbler, with good first touch, but also, he relied on team play. He was good freekick and corner taker, who liked to apply a lot of spin on the ball. He appeared in Yugoslav NT in 38 games, being a part of 1998 World Cup and 2000 European Championship.
