'World's best defender' Josko Gvardiol loves Liverpool, but Man United were recommended him Vatreni
Gvardiol came through the Dinamo Zagreb academy that has also produced Modric, his captain on the Croatia team
At Dinamo Zagreb, his talents were recognised early as he helped his side reach the UEFA Youth League quarter-final in 2019, where they lost to the brilliant Chelsea group of that year. His international boss, Zlatko Dalic is a big fan, heaping high praise on his young star: “Gvardiol is the best central defender in the world. He is so mature. The way he plays, with the grace he controls the ball. It’s amazing.”A quality of his that is greatly admired is his ability to break through lines, giving his teams an additional creative outlet and allowing his side to drive through – something admired at RB Leipzig – and his brilliant switches of play are a desired attribute.
