Modric s cousin, who has had an 8-month goal drought, once caused Liverpool to suffer, retired at the age of 32

Mark Viduka is not an ordinary person. His Premier League report card was 92 goals in 240 games. Although he lacked a hardcore personal honor, he has many star auras, and at least he has won the title of "Australian Vieri".

Viduka was born in Melbourne, where cricket is the most popular, but as a descendant of immigrants, Viduka has the conditions for his son to inherit his father's business.

You should know that his father was a defender of the former Yugoslav national team, and he often stayed on the sidelines during his father's coaching days.

is 1.88 meters tall and weighs 92 kilograms. He has Croatian and Yugoslav descent. Viduka is an absolute big guy, but his power is beyond imagination.

Give an example.

Viduca's classmate at the Sports Academy, who was later a tennis star "Australian Cannon", once took the initiative to PK penalty shootout with Viduca. Philipsis saved Viduca's penalty, but because of the strong shooting force, his arm was broken.

Football is a technical job, and it cannot be achieved by relying solely on strength. Viduka is self-aware. He once practiced inverted gold hooks under the guidance of his father, but he paid more attention to cultivating saber consciousness.

Rumor was that when he was 9 years old, he scored 13 goals in one game, and scored 18 goals in 22 games in the 1993-94 season, winning the league's Golden Boot and Best Player in one fell swoop.

The 19-year-old selection for the Australian national team is a reward for letting things go. However, Australia is not the fertile ground for football. Viduka, who seems to have grown wildly, needs a large platform to gilt, and it is not surprising that he is favored by European giants.

This means we have to mention a past event. Since Viduka has Croatian blood and is a relative of the Modric family, Viduka is Modric's cousin.

On his visit to Australia, Croatia's first democratically elected president, Tujiman, took time to meet with Viduka, with the purpose of hoping that this big guy would play for the Croatian national team.

Viduka did not promise, but did not give the president face. He joined Croatian giant Dynamo Zagreb in 1995. He scored 40 goals in three years. Dynamo won the double championship again and Viduka successfully completed the three-year sword plan.

Becoming a winner and champion does not mean that everything goes well, nor does it create a sense of belonging. Viduka was once ridiculed as homosexual by extreme fans in Croatia, and was considered a "relationship household" because of her good relationship with the president. But what really prompted Viduka to leave was the turbulent political situation.

Viduca joined the Scottish giants Celtics in 1998. During his two seasons of training, he repeated the story of the Melbourne Cavaliers at the age of 18 - winning the top scorer & to win the best player.

Before being appointed as the "future leader" by the Australian Football Association, Viduka received special attention from the Premier League Leeds United, with a transfer fee of £6 million not low at all in 2000!

In the four seasons wearing a white jersey, Viduka has contributed 72 goals in 165 games, making him a veritable "Australian cannon".

's masterpiece was that he staged a big four-game match against Liverpool in November 2002, helping White Rose to reverse his opponent 4-3. It should be noted that the last big four-game player of Leeds United can be traced back to Alan Clark in 1971.

Although this is not a work of Viduca becoming famous in the game, the Australians are full of popularity. For example, he once scored a goal at the Bernabeu, and Roma even regarded him as Bati's successor, and his reason for rejection is bizarre, "I am lazy and don't like to walk around."

In the four seasons at Leeds United, Viduka's joys and sorrows were too late to change. I have experienced the atmosphere of the Champions League semi-finals, felt the bitterness of the Premier League, and even complained about the club's inaction.

Rather than saying that Leeds United, which had poor financial financial situations, successfully cashed out Viduka, it is better to say that after seeing fellow villager Cowell join hands with Liverpool, the Australian Cannon's desire to leave the team became stronger and stronger.

Viduca's weekly salary in 2001 was as high as 50,000 pounds. AC Milan, Lyon and Barcelona all held the number card of love, with a maximum bid of 22 million pounds, but Leeds United defined it as a non-selling item. As time passed, Middlesbrough got his favorite for only 4.5 million pounds in the summer of 2004, and before leaving, Viduka became a young man in the team because he was often late.

I thought Middlesbrough successfully picked up a bargain, but the Australian big man turned around due to frequent injuries. In the first two Premier League seasons, the number of goals scored in individuals was not in double digits, and he once encountered an eight-month goal drought.

The so-called "journey of success" was just a feeling of the atmosphere of the League Cup final and also defeated Mourinho's Chelsea with a last-minute goal.

To be precise, Viduka did recover in the 2006-07 season, contributing 14 goals in 29 Premier League games and 5 goals in 7 FA Cup games, but Middlesbrough, who is preparing to rebuild, did not provide Viduka with a new contract. “I hope to say to the kids that I’ve been successful in Mibao” is more like a self-comfort.

Joining Newcastle by freely does not mean "removing people". In the first season, he only scored 6 goals without seeing the opportunity to get on the lead. In the second season, he missed most of the season due to injury. What is more heartbreaking than losing the slightest is that Newcastle was relegated.

It is not surprising that termination of the contract early. What is surprising is that Viduka announced his retirement at the age of 32, and his injuries are more serious than those of the tiger? In fact, Australians are tired of the cycle mode of "the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment"..

Viduca is not far from football now, but his main business has become a coffee shop. In his words, "Compared to playing football, selling coffee is not as stressful as I need to provide the best drinks."

It is worth mentioning that his store is open in Croatia, and he plays guitar with his children for nothing. Perhaps when he came here to play football at the age of 19, he had planned the poetry and distance of the future.
