My Take
Zvonimir Soldo embodies the kind of footballer I most want to applaud: the 189 cm Zagreb-born defensive midfielder who shielded the back line and held a team together without ever stealing the spotlight. Croatia produces fiercely intelligent players, and a man who reads the game from that position must have had real tactical sharpness. The fact that he moved into management after retiring confirms my hunch that he was a thinker on the pitch. I have a soft spot for the unglamorous spine of a side, and I respect anyone who built a long career on substance rather than flash.
