Dinamo Zagreb has one of the best 5 youth academies in the world. It is not surprise actually that he came to Dinamo. Modric, Kovacic, Brozovic, Mandukic, Corluka, Lovren etc. they all were part of the Dinamo Zagreb system.
he should go to Hajduk split🤣
Mora bi on ic u Hajduk split🤣
He should go to Hajduk split🤣
Dani Almo is so mid….
❤❤❤
Dani Olmo is my FM hero
Dinamo Zagreb is big club with long history and tradition
I want him at Chelsea 😭
Olmić ❤️
He’s gotta to be the most unspanish looking person I have ever seen
bought him at his 20 y.o. by only €8.5 mil to my newly promoted side of salamanca uds on fm 19. he is really beast on front of goal, scoring at least +15 goals & dozens of assist every season, while i put him as left inside forward. one of the best purchase i've ever had in all of football manager series i ever play. he has such bright prospect now. hopefully someday he will come back to barca and bring another treble with himself as indispensable player
You guys make great videos. Subscribed.
Croatia is a great place to live no wonder he did so well
hajduk split is much better croatian club then dinamo he would probably be even better if he played for hajduk
I bought him in FM22, such as a shame in real life, Man Utd never even considered this player!
Patetican intervju….Inace Olmo svjetska klasa…. onaj prascic koji se "kotrlja" na stolici…ajme boze !?
Holy crap I didn’t know Roman Reigns was a football agent
Lol you'll rot in la massia.
Ok great video
This guy has so much respect here in Croatia.
Danijel Olmić ftw ✊️
I mean if you really want to make pro as kid don't go to elite clubs, start from small-tier clubs and then make a name for yourself
Im from croatia 💪and I realy loves Olmo play
Dinamo Zagreb is a Mafia Club with their complete Club management stentenced to several years in jail and their Mafiosi Club boss Zdravko Mamić fled to Bosnia where he is hiding after being sentenced to 6,5 years in jail in Croatia. He is wanted by Interpol, Croatian police. FBI and Switzerland are also investigating him for systematic crimes and offshore money laundring
Simply showing day dream's
There are millions of European playing a great football
dont like him. went from croatia to spain FK him. scored a goal on us in europe cup 2020. agaisnst his own country
Club want to sell…so agenda starts…how no one is considered him …..from EPL.
That's how the football runs..
Dinamo Zagreb is by no means a step backwards, they are a top tier European team who produce many great players
Playing for Dinamo was a great move by Olmo
Dani Olmo is one of my favorite player when I play Football Manager. The qualities & professionalism are goooddd
BBB Croatian Dinamo Zagreb fans loves Dani! 💙
Dečko ladno ima hrvatski akcenat kad priča engleski
Olmić 😁… Zagreb is with you!
Strange how Olmo always put emphasize on his carreer in Dinamo, still visiting club in summer time, has strong connection with the club while from Modrić you will never hear anything similar, actually he never mention Dinamo, not just Modrić but plenty of so called Dinamo players from early age including Kovačić, Brozović, Lovren, Sosa, Brekalo etc.
great future for spain national team player
How everyone surprised by dani olmo move to zagreb but nobody talk about roman reign as his agent?
Nett von Roman Reigns, dass er Olmos agent ist
Dinamo is Olmo, Olmo is Dinamo
GNK Dinamo Zagreb = Best youth football academy in Europe.
As a Croat I HATE moronic Balkan music in this video.
He will always remain our Olmić 😍😍 Its no secret that mutual love between Dani Dinamo and B.B.B are there…every Dinamo's succsess at Europe leagues is closely being monitored by Dani.
He said it multiple times he will always root and cheer for Dinamo.
And that why we love him so much
I knew he could speak Croatian but didn't imagine he actually mastered it
Croatia loves Olmo 🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷
Pic with Messi was just a second for Olmo but a lifetime memory for Messi, so wholesome.
He should watch how Dragan Stojkovic Piksi played, a perfect n10
He should come to Liverpool. Seems like a perfect replacement for Firmino
Very underrated player with him and Kamada
Genije , zao mi je radi ozljeda, ali je genije
Croatians are proud of Dani!!!
