prelude: well guys here is my story it is the autobiography as my made up player on FM. he has my name, my favoured clubs, disliked clubs etc. the only thing that isnt mine is the D.O.B as i made him 4 years younger.
I will take control of the clubs my player moves to, except i will name the manager with the same information as the real manager in charge on my FM game. thanks and enjoy!
Well i was delighted to have followed in the footsteps of my elder brother Mario Mandžukić and i Joined his former team NK Zagreb. the manager Miroslav Blažević signed me up on a youth deal not long before my 16th birthday after his scouts spotted me playing for my school team in the Zagreb schools challenge cup final, in which i scored 3 goals!
I was delighted to have joined one of the top teams in croatia and i was despearatly hoping i would succeed at the 12000 capacity Stadion Kranjčevićeva.
I signed a youth contract worth Ł5 a week until 30.6.2010.
The first training session Of course i was intimidated by the stars we had in the team at my first session. but instead of training with the u19 team as i expected i was given the chance to train with the full-time stars such as Croatia U21 starlet Damir Dzidic.
the training match I was given the chance to shine in a 30 minute training match it was the U19 team v the Senior team. i was playing upfront for the U19's.
I managed to score a magnificent freekick from just outside the area for the U19 team, it beat Dragan Stojkic, the first choice keeper, with ease, i was very pleased to be part of the team.
meeting with the manager After training i had a meeting with the manager. He told me these words i will never forget,
"
You have a chance to make yourself into a world number one player, you will be one of the greatest croatian players of all time, use these next few years at NK Zagreb as a stepping stone if you wish as you will almost certainly be wanted from the European elite clubs in a few years. Although you are young you will feature in some part this season for our club. I was stunned, i knew i had potential and i could do what the manager had said, but i was now under a lot of pressure, and was worried, would i be able to make my dream a reality??
