Been thnking about this for a while now and decided that it was worthy of opening a thread about.
Since the arrival of Slaven Bilić our young talents started to go abroad and play big roles in big clubs, the three perfect examples are Kranjčar, Dudu and Čorluka.
He "discovered" Rakitić and got him onboard, he "rediscovered" petrić who is eternaly thankfull for that I am sure, he "discovered" Pranjić and Budan and gave NIko Kranjčar a new breath of life by speaking with Vulić and getting him to play ion the LM position (All these guys now have offers from the top 3 clubs in liga petica)
He gave lads like Pokrivač, Kalinić, Manža, Sharbini a clear message that the HNL is worth playing in and that it is possible to get into the senior side with good performances in the HNL. Add to that list Vukojević and Drpić.
He gave the message to clubs of "liga petica" a market in the HNL, and he gave value to Croatian players.
He gave the party animals like Srna, Balaban and Ola that their nights out would not be tolerated and he earned the respect of the world for his managing style and accomplishments.
A great trait for a manager to have is to promote his workers/players to higher and better positions. This in turn brings huge trust and huge will from the workers/players to give back to the manager and perform at a high level.:thumbsup:
Now I know that Bilić was not directly involved in the tranfer of the 3 epl players but he was sure asked what his opinion of each of them was and he was a trustworthy source for the foreign clubs therefore helping the transfers eventuate.
Its great to see that players are developing into something and playing huge roles in their teams and I am anxious to see what they give back to Bilić when he and Croatia need it most!:thumbsup:
Its also great to see the relationship he has with each player, the wink and smile to Šimić as he was taking the throw in in the late stages of the scotland game(after simic came in as a sub mind you) the motivational talks with the players as they are entering the field...
This guy is someone we want...
someone I as a fan adore...
and I as a human being respect...
And the reason I as a footballer idolize.
Huge respect to Slaven! :thumbsup: HUGE:thumbsup::thumbsup:
