Assistant coach and not the main coach dt was sacked.

Oh ok , I thought it was the head coach

Saintist:


The truth is that he still has a medal, because: his name is registered in FIFA original 23 players list.

Na lie,his name has Ben deregisteredfrom world cup list as was requested by Croatian football association,so he has no business with 2018 world cup.

Mr.. Your source please?

Too bad!

Truly, Pride goeth before a fall.
Two years ago, I lost a supposed opportunity which would've catapulted me into success, but a be-witched girl came into the line as a dare-devil. The Boss was aggravated. I also was too un-yielding and egotistical at that point. I don't know if the Devil saw what was coming and had to stiffen my heart not to render an apology. That girl was a pain in my ass. The place was tensed and all uptight. I was bound to make success there. I left angrily anyway. I came there with nothing, I left empty-handed.

Perhaps, If I'd just stupidly apologized as a dummy and swallowed my 'ego', that occurrence wouldn't have taken place. I regret till this day. It haunts me, but what can I do?
Nothing. Life gives, and it takes. This wholly depends on our relativity with people and how well being humble pays. Nothing lost had/has ever hurt me this much. But you see, I fail and refuse to be bound by that coined sentence that says 'Opportunity comes but once'. I've had Opportunities, I keep having them, and I'll continue having them. I just hope God takes away those that doesn't align with his will for me. I refuse to be bound by a set of rules. I'll still soar. This I believe.

Are you in a situation of doubt and think that you aren't going to come out alive? Keep pushing. Your breakthrough is further. Good things comes to those who wait, and of course have the right attitude in the course of waiting. Nothing good comes easy. We have to struggle rigidly for it, if this is otherwise, the Devil steals. It mars your joy forever.

Whew! Enough story written. The topic is not just a topic. It's an eye-opener. There's lot of sense in it. Maybe, he wasn't destined to win through this. His success awaits him somewhere else. Stay blessed.

Madam, kalinic has a recurring back injury. No mind these bastards switching tales.

Oh. Thanks for the insight.

This reminds me of Osaze Odewengie in 2012. Osaze had been on Keshi's provisional list to the AFCON 2013. Osaze gave Keshi two demands, one of which was his decision to shuttle between South Africa (where the competition would be taking place) and England (where his club was at that time). Keshi removed him from the list. Nigeria went on to win the 2013 AFCON.

he might have been the jonah in there boat

Is that the reason for his leaving camp and posing in holiday pictures. If the back injury prevents him from sitting on the bench or even in the stands then he should be in the emergency ward of a hospital. This is a nonsensical excuse. The least he could have been is a fan and motivator to his mates like an injured Ronaldo at the Euros. He is a solid, worked example of what a recurring failure is.

Good

Same goes for Rabiot, he was shortlisted for the France national team but ignore them cos he was not taken to euro 2016.

Good to know

HIS NAME IS THERE?

*SHORT WORLD CUP STORY FOR YOUR MOTIVATION*

Croatia came to this World Cup with only two natural strikers. Mario Mandzukic, the guy who scored the winner last night was one.

The other was Nikola Kalinic.

Kalinic was on the bench for Croatia's first game against Nigeria. With five minutes to end that game, coach instructed him to dress up and replace another player.

Kalinic angrily refused to play, in protest of being left on the bench.

He saw himself a top player, and wouldn't come on for just five minutes. The coach turned to other player Pjaca for the substitution.

After the match, Kalinic refused to apologize, despite appeals from other coaching staff.

The coach then sacked him from the team, and sent him home from Russia. Kalinic flew for holidays, and even posted pictures of himself enjoying elsewhere.

After all, he seem to imagine Croatia won't go anywhere in the tournament. But without him, the team managed to win their matches.

Croatia achieved their greatest football achievement in history, reaching the World Cup final.

The remaining 22 players are national heroes. Their names forever inscribed in the hearts of generations.

Kalinic is not part of the winning team all because of minutes of anger, pride and bloated ego.

He may have regretted now but it is too late. These stories about life are quite familiar to us, but do we really learn lessons from them? As they profoundly apply to all spheres of life?

Learn to cut pride, learn to control anger and deflate ego. And ultimately, learn to say SORRY.

Years of sweat and dedication can all be shattered by moments of anger and pride.

Don't be a Kalinic.

Good Day and Happy Weekend

This story should be developed and sent to NASS and GLASS HOUSE.

You only looked at it from the players perspective but neglect the... 'If I perish I perish attitude of the coach'.

He had only 2 strikers and he didn't look back in sacking one for misconduct. ..wow!

Here in Nigeria Buhari is still asslicking Magu and IGP despite all proven reports against them because he and his zombies feels that without the two the fight against corruption won't work.


How many Nigerian coaches can do what this coach did?.

with ur permission, I want to post this on Facebook because it's a big lesson to learn.

oyetpel:


Thank you for this.

I don't like how Nigerians behave, i felt terrible when i read this write-up about Kalinic on whatsapp.

Everything is now a prayer point or punch, Don't be a Kalinic, WTF does that mean?


Him and the coach were not simply getting on well, i think he choose Kalinic because he was one of Croatia top strikers available, and maybe the guy thinks he merits to start but the coach not like him. Since friendly matches he has not started a match. Players have ego, coaches don't want players to wield power in the team and was sent home.

Tevez have done something like this at Man City.

Ibrahimovic had clash with Guardiola and was sold from Barca.


And there was no tolerance for misbehavior judging by how one was their coaches was sent home too after their win in the quarter finals.

if Anthony martial was given 5 seconds in this world cup e for grab am. some people no get that opportunity wen u dey commonize.

oyetpel:


He plays for Ac Milan.

who be Ac milan? That USED TO BE a club not now. Dat club de downward slope. In recent times when u hear of them in UCL. For seria A there are three clubs Juve, as roma and napoli others just complete number inter,ac,lazio,etc

Imagine those late subs for Iwobi, assuming he was an egotistical player, he would he reacted, but he kept to himself because he's young.

who be iwobi? Who knw am

Exactly, Perisic wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to shine

you sure say you know who be perisic so?

els0nm0rali:


1. If he wasn't feeling OK why did he come to the world cup in the first place?

2. Why would they send him home, why not just put him on the bench?

my brother I weak o. naso dem tk dem send person home?. we just like to give excuses for bad habit here cos we have bad habits.

Mr.. Your source please?

Are you sure you have brain

Ivan Perišić (Croatian pronunciation: [ǐʋan pěriʃitɕ];[3][4] born 2 February 1989) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays for Internazionale and the Croatia national team. He usually plays as a winger, but can also be deployed as an attacking midfielder or second striker

...Pride goes before a fall !

So that other players can do the same. Discipline is key, it superceed talent. France won 1998 world cup without Eric Cantona
