My Take
Ivica Olić is the kind of footballer I instinctively root for. He was never the flashiest name, but he earned his place at Hamburg, Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich, lifted the UEFA Cup with CSKA Moscow, and pulled on the Croatia shirt over a hundred times. Longevity like that is not luck, it is the reward of relentless, selfless work. At 182 cm he threw himself into every front-line battle, the sort of grafter who quietly holds a team together. Seeing him now pass that hunger to a younger generation as a coach only deepens my appreciation for him.
