In 1987,
Miroslav Ciro Blazevic said the following about Prosinecki: "If this lad
makes it as a football player, I'll eat my coaching certificate"
(Blazevic was coach of Dynamo Zagreb and Prosinecki was in that team,
at the time). He probably regretted that later though... In 1998,
Prosinecki was included in Blazevic's squad at the World Cup in France
where he scored several goals, helping Croatia reach third
place.
