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.

judge him when Croatia lift the trophy

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.

*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

Cool story but this cannot be a motivation or such cos you ignored the part which asks, could Kalinic have remained in the team and caused the incident that would have brought about Croatia's elimination in the knockout or quarter finals? I'm trying to say it might be a good thing for Croatia rather than a misfortune for Kalinic.

Croatia played extra time three times, that is in all their matches right from the round 16. And they played penalty in 2 of those matches, Kalinic as a striker definitely would have been among the players to take the PKs.

1. Would Kalinic have missed his PK and sent them home?

2. Would Kalinic have fouled a player inside the box on the 92nd minutes while defending a corner with Russia or Denmark?

We shouldn't want Kalinic to regret anything cos it takes just a player to sell off a match. Things might not turn out well if he was there.
Same way Southgate(England coach) would be regretting right now had he played Rashford with the same trust he had in Sterling even with all the critisms. Maybe Rashford could have been their hero into the finals, you can't tell

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.
