  1. there's a big difference between the two halves of the video because at the beginning you have him playing with kids his own age, and later he's playing in the croatian premier league, against guys who are old enough to be his father. even playing, at such a young age, would be something, not to mention scoring goals, easy as they may be.

  2. oh, and about that CL match against madrid:
    he covered the most distance, 9,5 km in 65 mins. most from both teams.
    among the dinamo players he had the highest percentage of completed passes. (and it's not like dinamo parked the bus and he was just passing to his back line)

  3. Manchester City has stepped up their pursuit of Mateo, according to BBC Sport Football's gossip column.
    These days, it seems like Man City can have any player they want. A 40-50 million euro offer to Dinamo Zagreb plus a 200,000 euro a week salary offer may be enough to get Mateo into a Man City kit.
