All of us Dinamo fans love him and support him. He has been nothing but class while he was here and even after leaving. Also such a fun player to watch

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

Any thoughts on Alen Halilovic ? He was quality in Croatia but never lived up to his potential.. would be interested to hear what you think about him and why do you think he never reached his potential
Who is here after he shined in Euros 2024?
This video turned out prophetic.
He was amazing in the Euros!!!
I'm here after he sent tchouameni to the stores.
he's finally back
Croatia has produced some of the best midfielders in the world over the years so it was a very smart decision to go to Dinamo Zagreb who also has one of the top academies in the world. He learned the language, embraced the culture, and got to play European competitions as a young player. It's not easy to prove yourself at Dinamo but he did it with a lot of hard work 💪

I think that every Dinamo fan still loves Olmo, he was simply one of us. He is loved by the fans even now, over 2 years after he left the club. Personally he is one of the few individual players whose career i follow with a lot of interest

When this guy came to Dinamo Zagreb we knew he was going to shine! Speaking fluently croatian and adapted within weeks in Croatia!

This guy has so much respect here in Croatia.
Danijel Olmić ftw ✊️
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
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.
Ma daj u top 5 🤣🤣🤣
@@blindmirorputinovbot2130 nemoj se ljutit sto nije napisao top 3, bio je skroman...
@@radaVK 🤣🤣 pa stvarno 🤣🤣👍🏻
To produce such amount of good talented players some "magic" is needed for sure
No foreign player has this much respect in Croatia. Even Dinamo's rivals and their fans knew he was class. When he scored that banger of a goal against Man City I instantly knew he was not gonna stay here for much longer because he showed he was ready and capable to make the next step towards a bigger league and club. Unfortunately he had quite a lot of injuries in the last year or two that kinda stalled his rise, but I'm certain that his work ethic, dedication and love of football will help him clear those obstacles.
dudu
meni kao Hajdukovcu je ovo najdraži Dinamov igrač ikada!!!dabogda mu se ostvarilo sve u životu i karijeri šta poželi!!!
Bravo Ante,tako treba
Jel dao koji gol Hajduku??
@@zeljkomustac7280 ne sjećam se baš, ali vjerojatno je
Olmo is a genius! Hope you win the Euro 2024 with Spain. God bless you and La Roja
And he did it
Thanks bro !!
Dinamo Zagreb is by no means a step backwards, they are a top tier European team who produce many great players
comparing to Barca, get real
Croatia is a great place to live no wonder he did so well
I just wish more youth players follow this kind of path. Stay humble, choose development and playing time over money and prestige. Dany Olmo is smart. Zagreb isnt particularly a big club as compared to the likes of Bayern, Liverpool, and Manchester City but they do play European football consistently and boasts good academy graduates. The experience he got in Zagreb helped him as a young player, when he moved to RB Leipzig this helped him big time. Even coming from a famed academy like La Masia doesnt guarantee you first team opportunities. Hope we see more of this coming rather than seeing talent get wasted sitting on the bench in some top 5 big league club.
This is why the Madrid clubs just broke the pact. They found it better for the overall development of the youth in the city to be able to chose between clubs. We’ve been kids we all know many Factors can make a player want to move.

Yep.

I never get bored to watch this inspirational video many times. Best of luck, Dani 👍
Thank you, serli melinda, for the kind message. We're glad you like the film.
@@dwkickoff why you don't remove hate comments like from 'Karacu te' author? His username means: 'I will f..... you', and he is fan of other club from our region, he hates Dinamo, why you allow this?
Who is here after he won the Eurocup?
I knew he could speak Croatian but didn't imagine he actually mastered it
He speaks better than some native people (with lower education), considering how complex the language is, it is truly incredible how good he is at it. There was a documentary pre-world cup, each episode about a croatian national team player. In an episode about Gvardiol, Olmo was describing him and my mum didn't notice he's a foreigner until I told her he's spanish.
Pic with Messi was just a second for Olmo but a lifetime memory for Messi, so wholesome.
He is Spanish but for us he is like our brother. Big respect for Dani from Croatia 🇭🇷
I wish him nothing but health and happiness, I have had the opportunity to talk to him more than once and know story abaut him very well, I just hope that one day everyone knows about him. Excellent parenting and smart career development. Many parents make the exact opposite of their child from the desire to succeed, but not these wonderful people. Greetings from Zagreb for our Olmić 💙💙💙
BBB Croatian Dinamo Zagreb fans loves Dani! 💙
Olmo is a legend and a rolemodel for every young man
Olmić 😁... Zagreb is with you!
Dečko ladno ima hrvatski akcenat kad priča engleski
Barca or some other La Liga team need to bring him back to Spain.
Playing for Dinamo was a great move by Olmo
Who's here after he scored that clutch goal against England to win the Euro's?
who's here after Olmic's incredible performances at Euro 2024?

He’s a Dinamo boy for life and loved his life in Croatia and always shows so much respect to Dinamo and Croatia ! Wonderful player
Olmo's future is looking bright 😎 hi from El Salvador! 🇸🇻
What a unique path the lad chose
We spaniards really love this man! His presence on the pitch is always good :)
Who watch after olmo win euro
Im from croatia 💪and I realy loves Olmo play
He cooked in EUROS now, congrats Spain!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Olmić ❤️
Dinamo Zagreb is big club with long history and tradition
And he later won the Euros in 2024 😊 becoming one of the best players of the tournament.
Olmo je car!
I get the sarcasm of the question. But not many people know the Croatians have some of the best academies in the world. They are very, very technical and have absolute great ball control. It is not surprising that they got to the WC final against France.
The amount of young ballers Barca allowed to leave and then buying expensive flops to replace them in the last 10 years😂
I hope he regains his form. He's clearly Spain's best player when he's on form.
Not even close to being Spain's best player on form.
uhh I wouldn't say that very good still

Pedri is Spain's best player. Olmo doesn't even start every match.
Dani Olmo is one of my favorite player when I play Football Manager. The qualities & professionalism are goooddd
Amazing move considering Barsa really didn't give chances to La Masia graduates in the recent past.
And they really only start doing it now because of very difficult financial problems, and even then they’re signing older and experienced players like Lewandowski or Raphinha, so if you’re a young attacking player in La Masia, you‘re pretty much out of luck unless you are literally the next Messi.
@@PiratesRock pedi gavi fati, you a dunce or what
Good video but what is up with eastern/balkan music? That is not Croatian heritage or culture.
Thats right, it sounds eastern balkan mixed arabic, definately not Croatian music
Jbt
great piece on a great player. strong reporting there. the reporter should get a raise.
Bartomeu Managment for you lot! that man not only intentionaly destroyed our club he also rejected quite a lot of players because he didnt personaly want them.
from La Masia he rejected: Olmo, Grimaldo, Cucurella, Traore, Denis Suarez, Thiago Alcantara, Rafihna...
he also rejected Alphonso Davies for being canadian, Haaland for not having a barca style (20 M), Mbappe because he wanted dembele and quite a few of promising youngesters.
davies situation was a bit more complex than that tbf but yeah still
mbappe vs demebele back then was the right call who knew this would happen
Olmo we love you ... beat regards from Croatia
I first heard Dani Olmo from Fifa 20 in my career mode and I've got to say what a player.He reminded me of a nerfed Xavi or Iniesta not quite at their status but still a top,top player
Dani voli te Hrvatska. Pozz iz Splita 😀
And now hes best scorer at euro cup,he deserves it
My favourite player in the bundesliga.. what a talent
Love this story.
what a matured mindset
This guy has his priorities set.
Go Olmoic!
Olmic
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
So sad how such serious international broadcasting company doesn't do their research properly. Intro music doesn't have nothing to do with croatian national music !!!
This guy will win Euro 2024 for Spain
I get some wibe like from Modric, when he leaves Leipzig for Barca or some other big club he will shine even more
Olmić 🇭🇷
This is a legend
I only started to know Dani Olmo while watching Spain national team in 2020 Euro. Didn't know he garduated from La Masia.
His skill is an exceptional level. He should not play at EPL, any prolonged injury would destroy his magic
The guy in charge of music has to be sacked. Zagreb is not Belgrade or Istanbul.
As a Croat I HATE moronic Balkan music in this video.
Such a good technical player, wish he could come to Chelsea.
HES BACK
Idk why he looks so much like Kristijan Jakić (frankfurt player)
jakić is alsoo from dinamo he played with olmo haha
GNK Dinamo Zagreb = Best youth football academy in Europe.
He was so good in the European championship
Damn Roman reigns such a legend mans a wwe champion and an football agent sheesh
Wonderful journey
Dani still has the love from Zagreb, can only wish him the best in his career!
Dani Olmo👍👍
Dani ti si nas
Most underrated player
He is magical
1:26 looks like Messi wanted to take a pic with him and he was ok with it
Dani Olmo is my FM hero
Very underrated player with him and Kamada
Grande Olmo! Grande España! Viva España!! 🇪🇸 ✝️ ❤️
Great video of a big talent. Thank you.
Will be sad if he leaves the Bundesliga for LaLiga or Premier League if he gets even better.
Not really, seems like that's the common destination for the players these past decade , and now that barcelona changed their policy towards la masia for this new administration seems unlikely he's gonna stay at bundesliga.
Sad for who? It's a short career at the top so he'd be smart to make the most out of it rather than return to a club that's basically cooking books to stay up and a league that's doing its best to look the other way.
Wtf the guy in the intro nearly swallowing that lit cigarette 😂
It was not just a rumers Dani was to polite we all wanted him to play for Croatia i as croatian dreamed about it...he is way way to polite..
Ahh just realised Roman reigns became full time advocate of Dani Olmo. No wonder he became part timer at wwe

You mean the Croatian Roman reigns? Lol

This story is a great example to show to all the pushy parents in the world. And not just those with kids playing sports. Even kids being pushed academically. Taking the well trodden path just because 'that's what you have to do' is not always the answer. Sometimes you have to look at a person as an individual, and collectively come to a solution that rightly fits their characteristics, personality and needs. I went through a similar experience as a child.
Born to two pushy surgeon parents, they always tried to make me do what other intelligent kids were supposed to do. Which tutor to go to, what and when to study, which school to try and get into etc. Just following a stereotypical blueprint. I rebelled, stuck to principles and decided that the normal school I went to was the best for me. This despite the kids of all of their doctor friends making fun of me for turning down private schools etc, and how they were doing so much better. Fast forward 3 years and I ended up bettering most of them at the end of year exams, and also the grades required to get into my preferred university. These parents pushing their kids into expensive schools thought that money would magically turn their kids into a load of Einstein's. Instead, most of them were miserable, lonely and away from family at boarding School, and also suffered a lot of bullying. Just because you're supposed to do something, it doesn't always mean it'sitsright for you.
Who’s here after the Spain winning the Euros?
Oh Nagelsmann
You made him tum his back on Bayern
And you turned your back on leipzig
For Bayern 😂😂😂😂😂😭
the irony
What naglesmann in 2016 when he was at hoffenheim he openly said in a interview that he was a Bayern fan and would like to be coach one day.Leipzig knew that it was just matter of when. when naglesmann joined Bayern it was the 3rd time Bayern contacted him firstly 2nd team manager when Ancelotti sacked at last become their manager
This man caused so much trouble vs Italy at the Euros. Can't wait to watch him again at the World Cup.
This guy gives me the CR7 vibes. 😬😬😬 He has that natural drive to improve.
Considering the results of the Croatian national team vs the Spanish one, did he really make the right decision?
