Mario Mandzukic

Mario Mandzukic is not a perfect footballer. He does not like the schemes when the whole team rolls to the opponent's goal, Mario prefers to dominate in the attack. At the same time, he demonstrates the ability to impose a fight, good speed and, most importantly, the desire to win trophies.

Mario is Croatian by nationality, his homeland is Yugoslavia, a large industrial center Slavonski Brod, where he and his sister Ivanna were born. From a country engulfed in flames in 1992, the family moved to Germany.

The footballer was the boy's father, Michu. In a new place, he had to play football professionally in order to earn a living. The son accompanied his father to training and gradually joined the German football school.

After the Mandjukicam was denied a residence permit, they returned to Croatia. Mario started playing for the local club Marsonia, for which he played in 23 matches and scored 14 goals.

The first significant club in Mario's career was Zagreb, where the talented guy moved in 2005 and played 2 seasons. Mandzhukic was coached by Miroslav Blazevic, the one who led Croatia to the bronze medals of the 1998 World Cup and raised Davor Shuker.

Then the Croatian Dynamo saw in the powerful striker 190 cm tall and weighing 85 kg a replacement for the slender Eduardo da Silva. As part of the team, the forward entered the field in 112 matches, made 36 assists, scored 53 goals, became the top scorer of the season and played in the Champions League. In addition, he won the national championship three times and found a close friend Luka Modric.

In 2010, the German Wolfsburg bought Mario for € 8 million. The Croat again won the title of top scorer and player from the Wolves. At the 2012 European Championships, Mandzukic scored the sixth fastest goal against the Irish national team, beat Gianluigi Buffon himself and received an invitation to Bayern Munich from Uli Hoeneß before the end of the tournament. According to the official website of the "Munich", the cost of the transfer was € 13 million.

With two goals from Mario, Bayern have won the German Super Cup from Borussia. Later, the sports biography of the football player was replenished with two titles of the Bundesliga champion, the club world champion and the winner of the German Cup.

Mandzhukic's move to Spain was influenced by a conflict with coach Josep Guardiola. Former mentor Jupp Heynckes assigned Mario the final role in the attack, and Guardiola began to rebuild the usual scheme for the striker into a tiki-taka variation. After Robert Lewandowski appeared in the team, the forward ceased to feel needed at all. As a result, Mandzhukic joined the ranks of Atletico Madrid and found complete understanding with Diego Simeone.

For the Spanish club, Mario scored 20 goals in 43 matches and won the country's Super Cup. In 2015, the “mattress makers”, despite the fact that there were still 3 years left until the end of the striker's contract, faced a choice of who to keep in their composition - Mandzhukich or Antoine Griezmann. We stopped at the second one. But the Croat also did not lose out - a childhood dream came true. For € 19 million, Mario moved to Juventus.

Together with the "Old Lady", the Croatian footballer won three times in the Italian championship, raised the Italian Cup over his head the same number of times, won the country's Super Cup and reached the Champions League final. In the League final, the striker scored the most beautiful goal of the season. The only thing that does not suit Mario is the decision of Massimiliano Allegri to transfer him to the left flank.

According to El Mundo Deportivo, during the Bavarian period, Barcelona negotiated with the forward's agent. True, the Catalans invited Mandzhukic only as a reserve player, in case of injury to their own, or for the infusion of "fresh blood". But the head coach expressed dissatisfaction with the footballer, while the Bayern president was not going to put Mario on a transfer at the height of the season.

And "Paris Saint-Germain" considered the candidacy of the Croat along with the "Milanese" Carlos Bacca in order to strengthen the line of attack. But Juventus did not consider the French proposal, as they involved Mario in the Champions League, and besides, they parted with Simone Zadza and Alvaro Morata, thereby weakening the attacking flank.

In 2016, London's West Ham became interested in Mandzhukich. The British believed that the player's playing time would be reduced after the Bianconeri acquired Gonzalo Higuain for € 94 million. Moreover, the "hammerboats" were trained at that moment by compatriot Mario Slaven Bilic.

An equally tempting offer was received by an athlete from the Chinese club "Tianjin Quanjian", which applied for teammate Nikol Kalinich, but was refused. The owners of the team from the Middle Kingdom offered Mario a 4-year contract with a salary of € 32 million.

However, Allegri had enough tact and strategic approach to make a punchy pair of two stars who fell into an unspoken confrontation. It's just that Mandzhukich and Higuain have different tasks. The first one works "from above", and the second one watches the bounces on the horizontal.

The football "god" keeps Mandzhukich. If injuries happened to Mario, then they were not serious, they did not take out of action for a long time. In 2017, at the national championship, the striker injured his calf muscle, in a collision with Daniele de Rossi from Roma - his back. A year later, at a similar championship in training, a thigh was injured, and during a match with Inter Milan, Mario “sacrificed” the lower leg, which was then stitched with 10 stitches.

Mandzhukich has an excellent sense of humor, rejection of the press in relation to interviews and absolute secrecy in everything related to his personal life.

Passion Mario is often confused with his sister, photos of which are occasionally published on Instagram and Twitter, the athlete does not have a Facebook account. The common-law wife of a football player, similar in appearance to her, is also called Ivanna. All that is known about the girl is that she is Croatian.

Mario loves dogs. They said that when the forward lived in Croatia, 6 four-legged pets lived in his house. Now Mandzhukich is entertained by a pug named Lenny.

The Croatian national team became a real sensation at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Having successfully left the group, the Croats were able to knock out the Danes and the Russians from the playoffs on penalties, and also beat the British (2-1), for the first time in their history they were in the final of the World Cup.

On July 15, 2018, the final of the World Cup took place at Luzhniki. Mario Mandzukic distinguished himself in the final with his own goal, but later corrected his mistake, taking advantage of the mistake of the French goalkeeper and scoring a goal. Unfortunately, time was running out. The France national team turned out to be stronger than the Croats (4-2).

Shortly before the start of the tournament, the Turkish media reported that Besiktas showed interest in the Juventus striker and the Croatian national team. The Turks hoped that Mario would agree to return to the center-forward position and push his compatriot Darijo Srna, Shakhtar defender, to move.

Milan is ready to compete with Besiktas. The Red-Blacks are picking up a replacement for Nikola Kalinich.

At the end of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Mandjukic had to decide whether or not to accept the invitation from Manchester United and switch places with Matteo Darmian.
