The kid is back on the move!
And it may not be for the better. 20 year-old Alen Halilović was shipped back to Spain this week after a horrendous first half of the season in the Bundesliga at Hamburg. This past summer, Barcelona sold their wunderkind to Hamburg for €5.5 milion, however, he has not received any playing time since October.
Although Barcelona owned Halilović’s rights for the 2015-16 season, he was loaned out to La Liga club Sporting Gijon, where Halilović scored three goals in 36 matches. Now the kid goes back to Spain where he will look for a spark in what was always supposed to be a dazzling career. And remember, Barcelona still has the option to buy Halilović back if he performs well.
Halilović has a similar playing style to Dutchman Arjen Robben. He is quick with the ball and has a mean left-footed shot. However, in typical millennial fashion, it seems he has time entitlement issues. As a teenager, Halilović showed attitude towards Gijon management multiple times last year after being subbed off early.
But if Mr. Alen is supposed to pan out like we all thought he would, now is the time. He will be 21 in June and has been playing in a top-four European league for the past two seasons.
The jury is still out. But will Halilović become the player Croatia needs him to be?
Why do the players not care about Davis Cup this year?
Cilic didn’t want to play, he wanted a rest, even though he had one at the Aussie Open.
Coric is pissed off, and rightfully so, because he didn’t play in the final against the Argentinians.
That’s all I know.
Amazingly we’re not losing 2-0 in the Davis Cup despite playing a pack of abso nobodies..
why don’t we care about DC this year?? Djokocunt is playing for Serbs and we have some guys ranked 200 and below no one has ever heard of, lol
Brisbane,
I will see about next time. People change. I wish him the best.
@Denis
next time dont waste your time with hezonja, disrespectful of him towards you
I laugh how many on this site were comparing Halilovic to Messi and how he would put fear into defenders. He should of handled himself like a professional instead of a brat.
I think he is.
iS THIS GUY A HRVAT?

Here’s a video that proves my point;

This is how they treat people who disagree with them.
Pjaca step over – https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7g6D7-IN_2I
Would have been nice had he pulled this off – https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g9wb3ZM0YCA
@bobbyv-Speaking of Chinese…glad this site was down during that whole JV squad debacle in China.
To all, watch Mandzukic on LW for Juve…fans love it, as do I.
Kalinic is legit up top.
Kovacic has made the leap. Confidence is building.
Pjaca still not burying anything, but still looks great on the ball.
Halilovic who?
Badelj in Fiorentina’s doghouse. They say effort & creativity are not there, I have to agree. He is looking for a transfer.
I like you too Ante.
Having a mother, a sister, a brother with a mental disability and a great respect for scientists and our planet puts me where i stand.
Poglavnice, don’t worry. Despite whom I voted for, you’ll always be a friend.
Still no response to my question above?
You guys are proving my point.
Lefties only know how to make accusations when they cannot win an argument.
“Oh, your just saying that because you’re a bigot, intolerant, corporate, a serb, etc..”
@JM,
I will tell you if we meet one day.

@horvat
The police allowed this to happen. The counter
Revolution is coming though. Fucken Yugo’s
Make America Great Again!!!
Hey aussies keep your Fucken Muslims!
Instead of making blind accusations. What do you have to say about the short video clip above?
Why was Clinton not being labeled as an Islamophobe or zenophobe?
Trump supporters may as well be Serbs since they basically handed Putin free reign to do what he likes in the EU and we’ve already seen Russia arming up the Serbs. Fun times ahead.
@ denis
Something else happen in your hezonja interview that has turned you off to him?
Trump supporters are on par with Serbs for me. Very proud to say I’m not friends with any.
Sorry for all the typos above
For all the liberals who accuse Trump if “hatred”, “intolerance”, etc.. Here’s what Bill Clinton said about immigration not long ago:
https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4631284/clinton-immigration
Trump isn’t against immigration. He simply thinks they should be properly screed before entering the country.
It’s an honourable thing to welcome a homeless man into you home. But not if he steels your money, beats and molests your children, or threatens to blow up your house.
The problem is that you cannot reason with these people on the left. There is no room for discussion. As soon as someone disagrees with them, they start the accusations. “You are hateful, intolerant, a bigot, a homophobe, an Islamophobe, etc..”
They don’t even want to hear your arguments. Now you tell me who the bullies are?
I wonder how many of these emasculated men would be willing go to the front lines if a major terrorist attack, like a nuclear bomb going off, were to occur. I know the answer to that, ZERO.
this kid is not worth the attention if you ask me. I’m not suggesting he’s not talented or that he won’t be one of the greats in Croatian soccer, I’m just not into self centred people that are not as effective as they claim they are. controversy seems to follow him when all he really should do is shut up and do the best he can!
So the hype train makes another stop at another club. This is what happens when you praise 16 year olds as god and let them leave domestic leagues too early.
@Anonymous
Are you that Bernie Sanders loser that used to post?
…..also, I wouldn’t be surprised if Halilovic’s father isn’t already talking to Chinese clubs in his greed to cash in on his son.
He has interfered enough already.
The difference in the way Kovacic and Halilovic have handled themselves has shown greatly.
Halilovic is the Justin Bieber of Croatian soccer – I understand he’s only 20, but, I am willing to bet that he never grows up – just have this bad feeling about him.
Rumor has Nikica Jelavic joining Rijeka soon.
That’s prolly cos they all get their slogans from the same YouTubers
Remember that dude HAET who used to post garbage on this site?
Looks like he got arrested. Check this out:

The comments this guy made are identical to what he posted on here all the time.
Zubac!
I will sit on your face.
Kreso
you got kurac, not game
@Rob I
I’m in my thirties and I still think I can play, hopefully the kid realises what he has to do. Just so you know, I got Game!
@Idemo,
I’m not a fan of Hezonja. Dude has plenty of growing up to do. That might have been my first and last interview with Hezonja.
His 20 years old, relax and give him time to grow up.
Modric was 22 before he was a regular in the national team.
How many 20 year olds think they are king shit before they grow up and get a reality check. just give the kid time.
Last hezonja interview with Denis was a bit weird….seemed like he didn’t wanna do it and that akward start with him standing up
I still think Halilovic will put it together and become a solid winger.
Problem is, we now have Marko Pjaca who is on a much better path. So, we don’t really need Halilovic to pan out anymore. He’s simply a ‘nice-to-have’ at this point.
To early to throw the towel in on Halilovic. The kid has serious talent.
I think the media pumped the kid up to much. Lets hope he has been humbled a bit and starts making some progress.
Big teams don’t bother with attitudes anymore; Balotelli, Gilbert Arenas… I feel like people aren’t even looking too hard at Demarcus Cousins either.
Ante – what’s your deal with Hezonja? Seems like he needs to go back to Europe to at least get some playing time or a wake up call.
Didn’t Livaja go to Inter at like 18 and never really pan out. Funny how they’ll be playing together now. Not a good guy to learn from really. Cacic isn’t really a guy who plays poor attitude guys either.
Have to say it isn’t looking great for halilokebab.. was expecting him to show more by now, he might be in the doldrums for a while, sadly
Don’t get me started on Hezonja. Guy is a child.
Hezonja/Halikovic
Have a lot punk in them and Barca move didn’t help matters.
I hope they both can mature and grow out of this childishness.
Keep the childlike joy for the game but beast like a man.
Sign me up for 20 mins of Halilovic running at a tired defense.
