Football Is Passion

In his club career, Dzeko has scored more than 300 goals and has scored 64 out of 127 goals for the national team. He finished as the top scorer in Germany and Italy and won nine trophies, including every domestic prize available in England.

Despite this, Inter Milan striker Edin Dzeko is still somehow overlooked when discussing the best forwards of his generation.

Nevertheless, he remains a cult hero at Manchester City, where his stoppage-time equalizer against Queens Park Rangers on 13 May 2012 paved the way for perhaps the most famous Premier League goal of them all.

Sergio Aguero’s winner was remembered by everyone who saw it and many who didn’t. Martin Tyler’s ‘Aguerooooooooo’ commentary is famous. Without Dzeko’s intervention minutes earlier, none of this would have been possible.

Inter Milan Main Forword star Dzeko:

At 37 years old, Dzeko may finally be getting the recognition he deserves. He will appear in his first Champions League final – and it looks like it should be against City, in Istanbul on Saturday.

I have to admire him a lot because he is a very serious professional who trains very well every day with great intensity,” said Inter chief executive Josep Marotta.

Zico will have the chance to upend the club he left for Roma in 2015 after disillusionment under Manuel Pellegrini.

The ‘Agueroooooo’ moment was the first of two league titles for Dzeko, who also won the FA Cup, League Cup, and Community Shield before moving to Roma.

He is a top player in the Italian capital is a tough gig and requires a strong mind to succeed. Although Dzeko won no trophies there, he finished as Serie A’s top scorer with 29 at the end of his first season as a permanent signing.

Although the Milanese follow the game with the same interest as the Romans, the atmosphere is completely calm.

Zico thinks it’s the best. He was nine years old when the Dayton Peace Accords were signed in December 1995, ending the three-and-a-half-year war in Bosnia.

An estimated 100,000 people were killed during the conflict, and more than 2.2 million were displaced.

Zico Giving His Point of View:

I only talk about the war when I talk to foreign journalists,” Zico said in an interview with The Guardian in 2017.

I remember it well but I don’t see the point. This is something I left behind a long time ago. It was a terrifying experience, it changed all of us, no matter how old we were at the time.

But when it was over, we all tried to move on. During those three years everyone, even the children, dreamed of living a normal life, so after the war was over, that’s what we did.

However, when things are bad when I’m going through hard times, I think about my family and what I’ve been through.

Take football for example; I hate to lose, I hate when I miss chances, but in football, these things must happen.

Then you sit down and think about what was really terrible in your life, the time when you didn’t have food, drink, or normal clothes to wear, you and everyone around you.

‘And you see things are better now. It’s strange to use the word positive in this context, but if there’s anything positive about what we’ve survived, it’s the fact that we now know that there’s always worse in life. And we experienced worse firsthand.

It would be nice to try to relate Zico’s childhood memories to what he’s achieved since then, so it’s best to stick to the facts.

He left his family and friends in Bosnia for the Czech club Teplice aged just 19 and has since progressed to four different countries.
