In national Yugoslavia competed 7 times (1 goal and 51 in national Croatia (12 goals).


The reason Boban, a creative yet tenacious player who was gifted with excellent vision, passing range, dribbling skills, and technical ability. He mixed these attributes with a unique tactical versatility and intelligence, which enabled him to be deployed in several midfield and offensive positions throughout his career; in addition to his preferred role behind the forwards as a playmaking, attacking midfielder, he was also capable of playing on the wing , as a central midfielder, or even as a supporting striker.

Discoveryfootball.com meet in Milan, the hotel used as «headquarters» UEFA for the final of the UEFA Champions League, the “Principe de Savoia ” , morning Saturday May 28 Boban , who spoke for the European Championship, the Croatia, AC Milan and the new position.


DF: Starts 15th European Championship. Who or what you think the team as a favorite? 

 

"Yes, this is the largest event of the year in football. I believe that the French national to be fought and its headquarters, has the first word. It has great talents like Pogba, Griezmann, that the coming years will hear to speak very often about them. Then there is the endless midfielder, Matuidi who do great work in midfield. Certainly one can not ignore the world champions Germany, but I think the players might occur tired of the many games. After Belgium has some very good players and certainly capable of great things. Of course we must not forget that if England find a solution to the defensive function has the potential to reach very high. Besides from the center and front, they have important players attending their every fan, every week. And even an Italian one group always at big events is a way to stand out ".


DF: The Croatian national who also has enough power especially in midfield what can be achieved?


"Indeed, our national team has great midfield with Modric, Rakitic and young, Kovacic while ahead we must not forget there is also the experienced and skilful performer, Mario Mandžukić. I think he has all the makings to reach the quarterfinals and maybe".


DF. To go back a little in your old club AC Milan. We see faces serious problems and of course no longer have players of his own value…


"Yes, Milan is found in very low position now. There are serious problems that believe that only Silvio Berlusconi can solve. The world has great expectations and rightly so because it is a team that has learned to be a leader and not playing sidekick role. I trust that you will find a suitable solution and Milan will be able to rejoin the path of great success. Of course to do this need to solve the financial and get important players".


DF: Now taking a new position, next to the president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino as adviser in football matters.


"It is a great honor for me that I will be next to the president of the World Federation, Gianni Infantino. He is a great man and will make every effort to contribute and I with my strength as I can".
