Manchester City defender, Josko Gvardiol, has revealed how he nearly quit football for basketball.
The 23-year-old’s revelation was factored because of his struggle to get enough during his time at Dinamo Zagreb. The Croatian speaking said he was eager to play football for Zagreb’s youth team even though he was only 16 at that time. He stated that as he was sparingly used, he considered venturing into basketball because he liked it, too.
“I was thinking about quitting because I like basketball as well. I wasn’t sure in football any more because when you get to the training ground you don’t feel happy any more, you know?
“I was just trying to find other solutions and to feel happier than I felt before because all of my friends were playing basketball.”
