How I became Man City star Joško Gvardiol | Documentary

Joško Gvardiol's rise to become one of the world's most highly coveted central defenders has been rapid and remarkable. His move to Manchester City and his displays for Croatia at the World Cup in Qatar made him a household name. We met "The Wall" in Leipzig and talked to some of the people who've witnessed his evolution. This is the real story of Josko Gvardiol...
Ovo je priča o Jošku Gvardiolu, nadimak "zid", hrvatskom reprezentativcu koji igra za RB Leipzig i jednom od najboljih branitelja na svijetu!
Report: Laurenz Trenkler

My grandpa and I were watching Dinamo Zagreb youth team a lot as we are from the Zagreb and 8-9 years ago my grandpa would always shout “gvardiolaa gvardiolaa, what a defender” as he recognized him as a great player. Few years from now he will be the most expensive defender and playing at one of world greatest clubs

Dinamo Zagreb on its way to produce another set of Croatian superstars for the coming decades

Isn’t it enough that he’s one of the best young defenders in the world? Why does he have to be hot too?

[@ribaash28]

Josko had very unusual path as young player. Not many people know he played various positions thru all his young career. He was playng regularry as winger or midfielder untill being promoted to Dinamo Zagreb first team. He was always skillfull with the ball and thats where his composure on the ball comes from. With his physicalities, speed and tackling he is perfect match for Peps sistem. Even their names matches perfectly when translated first one and the last one. City got themselfs beast for next 10+ years.

Coach of 🇭🇷 Zlatko Dalić 💪💪 I'm looking for more respect for Croatia'' "Out of 29 games, we lost only two. We won two medals in six months, no one has done that. That's why I was bothered by the treatment of our players at the awards. Croatia must have much more respect from everyone, especially from FIFA and UEFA. I'm not saying this by heart, our results show it. Sometimes I have the impression that we are bothering everyone. We are messing with the top of those who number 200 million, and there are only three of us. What are we going to do to them, we're just bothering them. Our defiance and spite is so strong that we always prove ourselves. That's why it bothered me and that's why I was the only selector who didn't want to vote,'' he added. Dalić believes that Croatian players are too underestimated: "It's the same with transfers. There was a lot of talk about why I can't go to a big club. I'm not in any agency, I don't have an agent, I don't have anyone. I don't have anything and I don't need it. In these agencies, several of the same names are constantly being used. The money is divided there and that's how these transfers end. We are not in it. If one of our players had an English or Spanish passport, it would cost ten times more. But let us show them everything on the field.''

Inače,imao sam tu čast upoznati Gospodina oca(preko 2 prijatelja koji su njegovi vrlo dobri prijatelji). Prije svega divan čovjek i vidi se na njemu da voli nogomet. Inače, on je Dinamovac čisto za ljude koji nisu upoznati s tim ali moram priznati da mi je drago kaj navijači najvećeg rivala prisvajaju ovakvu gromadu od igrača i čovjeka kao kaj je Joško. To dokazuje i potvrđuje da Dinamo(klub za koji navijam otkad znam za sebe) radi odličan posao. Nekada su navijači Hajduka respektirali igrače Dinama i upravo iz rivaliteta ne bi ni pomislili da bi došao kod njih ili da bi pripadao njima u bilo kojem smislu. Očito se to sve kaj se tiće Hajduka srozalo na dosta niske grane. Kao navijaču Dinama, moram reći: Šteta...
