Last update April 15, 2019 by Javier Argudo

Davor Suker It is one of the best players of the year 90. The Croatian came to Sevilla FC In the season 1991-1992 from the Dinamo de Zagreb with only 23 years.

The first season of Osijek player was adaptation and scored only 6 League goals. But there was something that changed the race of the Croatian attacker: Maradona's signing for Sevilla.

If you look at my goals in Sevilla, They came always so! It is something that will accompany me throughout my life.”.

As has himself Davor Suker in an interview FIFA official website: “When I was a child I used to watch Diego on television, in my room. But suddenly I found myself sharing breakfast, training and locker room with him. It was amazing! I am hoping to tell me, I tell me something, until finally he called me. Just he told me: ??Before, I do not want you to look at the sides or anything. Just keep your head down and runs against the goalkeeper I'll give the ball there, ready to push it to the goal ??. Very few players can say that in the world, and he was one of those. If you look at my goals in Sevilla, They came always so! It is something that will accompany me throughout my life.”.

effectively, performance Davor Suker From there it was on the rise. that season 1992-1993 I note 13 league goals and was the best team even though the campaign was a failure in general as not qualifying for European competition was achieved.

The football of Sevilla's '9' became more vertical and from then on he got tired of scoring goals. Specifically they were 24, 17 Y 16 the three following with white and red elastic which helped him to sign for Real Madrid.

In Merengues he spent three seasons in which marked 24, 10 Y 4 goals. He was champion of League, Champions League and European Super Cup. Hence he tried his luck in the Premier League (Arsenal y West Ham) and Bundesliga (1860 Munich).

We can not forget his stellar performance in World 1998 where newcomer Croatia He finished third and Davor Suker It was top scorer. Definitely, as he himself said, his season Diego Armando Maradona It was instrumental in their football and ultimately for his career.
