A Coffee Chat with Marcelo Brozovic and Ivan Perišić
Marcelo Brozovic: Hey Ivan, it’s been ages since we grabbed a coffee together! How are things going on the pitch for you?
Ivan Perišić: Marcelo! Yeah, it’s been way too long. Things are good, mate. You know how it is, always pushing, always grinding. But I must say, nothing beats the adrenaline of a tough match, right?
Marcelo Brozovic: Absolutely! Speaking of adrenaline, remember that game against Juventus last season? That last-minute goal you scored was legendary!
Ivan Perišić: (Laughs) Oh, that was something! But come on, you were a beast that game. I think you covered every blade of grass there was on the pitch. Do you ever stop running?
Marcelo Brozovic: (Smiles) Gotta keep the engine running, my friend. Can’t let these young talents outpace us just yet. So, how’s the family? Last time we talked, your little one started playing football, right?
Ivan Perišić: Yeah, my son is totally into it. He’s got a pretty decent left foot, just like his old man. Though, he could learn a thing or two from Uncle Marcelo about midfield dominance.
Marcelo Brozovic: That’s awesome! Next time we crack open a game, bring him along. A little tactical training session with the Brozo might do wonders! By the way, did I tell you I started learning how to play the guitar?
Ivan Perišić: No way! I can totally see you as a rock star. What’s the next step, forming a band named “Brozo and the Midfield Maestros”?
Marcelo Brozovic: (Laughs) Who knows! But seriously, it’s so relaxing. Between training and matches, it’s good to have something else to focus on. Any new hobbies on your end?
Ivan Perišić: Actually, I’ve picked up cooking. Been trying my hand at some traditional Croatian dishes. It’s a great way to connect with our roots and also, who doesn’t love good food?
Marcelo Brozovic: You’re telling me! Next match we win, we’re celebrating with one of your homemade meals. Deal?
Ivan Perišić: Deal! But don’t expect a Michelin-star meal just yet. I’m still perfecting my recipes.
Marcelo Brozovic: As long as it comes with some of those classic Croatian vibes, I’m sure it’ll be perfect. Cheers to more wins and good times, mate!
Ivan Perišić: Cheers, Marcelo! Here’s to the next match, next meal, and more coffee chats like this.
