"It may not be long before Borna Sousa realizes that Bierhoff and the team of consultants behind him have prompted him to make the most wrong decision of his career!" After learning of Sousa's intention to defect to the German team, a Croatian coach named Dalco once asserted on social media; compared with the restraint of the Croatian Football Association and the national team coach Dalić, his statement is closer to the views of ordinary fans and more in line with the final trend of this "soap opera" - after careful evaluation, the german football association director Bierkhov publicly stated: According to the new FIFA regulations (the last official match on behalf of the original football association, no more than 21 years old), Even if Sosa got a German passport, he would not be able to play for the German team.

Borna Sousa, 23, was born in a neighborhood in Zagreb called Prečko, where his father Goran Sousa and mother Vesna are from Posuše, a small Croatian-majority Bosnian town. In addition, his family also has a certain relationship with Argentina: "Sousa is actually an Argentine surname, and my family is from Posuche in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I have relatives living there, and I go back every summer." ”
Sosa as a teenager
As a representative of the "98 generation" (the same players include Shen Perle, Morrow, Karaica and Brecarlo), Sousa was talented from an early age, joining the youth camp of Dinamo Zagreb at the age of 8. In the eyes of then-president Zlatk Mamic and then-manager Zoran Mamic, he was also the most outstanding talented player in the Dynamo Academy after Ante Jolic.
In March 2015, at the age of 17, Sousa made his professional debut in the First Division against NK Zagreb, but he was unable to gain a foothold in the first team because of the presence of Josip Pivalic. In the summer of 2017, Pivaric left Kiev, and although Dinamo Zagreb brought in Jan Lechax, the three managers of the season – Tsvetanovic, Jurchevic and Bjelica – all saw Sousa as their first choice for the left-back position. Subsequently, Michael Reschke (then technical director of Stuttgart) managed to persuade the Mamickey brothers to take Sosa to the Mercedes-Benz Arena for just 6.5 million euros.
In his first two seasons with Stuttgart, Sosa was plagued by bad luck and suffered five serious injuries. Because of the shortage of manpower on the left gate, coach Matazola even had to use Castro or Clinton Mora. Croatian coach Dalic, who is also trapped by left-back, can only be entrusted with second-rate roles such as Dario Melniak (now playing for Rizesburg).

Soza's attendance has improved significantly this season, and his cross advantage in Matazola's 3-4-2-1 system has been maximized – so far, Soza has recorded 10 league assists this season, and of all the full-backs in the five major leagues, only Juventus's Quadrado can stand with him.
Perhaps it was this performance that gave Sousa the courage to change his court; before the European Championships, he applied for a German passport through the relationship between his elders (his grandfather had been in Ulm for 40 years, his mother was born in Berlin, his father and uncle had worked in his grandfather's company), and publicly stated that he wanted to represent germany: "I am almost 24 years old, but I have no record of playing for the adult national team, I played in Germany for three years, I decided to play for Germany. His resolute attitude made the Croatian fans even more stunned: "There is no room for recovery in this matter, I will not change my decision, earlier, I have also informed the Croatian Football Association and Dalić." ”
Sosa and Dalici
In order to avoid moral accusations, Sousa also publicly counted Dalic and the Croatian Football Association's indifference to himself: "I have long realized that the Croatian team does not expect me, in my position, they have better players, I respect their attitude and opinions, and I am not angry personally. I'm not a very passive person, and if I feel the need to be good for myself, I'll start pushing. This season, I have not been in contact with the Croatian Football Association and no one has gotten in touch with me. This morning, the news of my move to Germany has been made public, and I have my first communication with Dalić. ”
It was reported that Dalic had promised Sousa that he would make his debut in the World Preliminary Tournament against Malta, and the former chief assistant coach Ollic (who had been re-established as CSKA Moscow) had also traveled to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium several times to watch his game, and Sousa denied it all: "This is not true, Dalic did not tell me that he would let me make my debut against Malta, this is just speculation, and I have never officially received a call from the Croatian Football Association." As far as I know, Oric didn't come, he just told me through a third party that I was supposed to be selected for the national team in March. ”
It is clear that Sousa's accusations against Dalic are completely untenable – as early as the summer of 2018, the fledgling Sousa was included in Dalić's World Cup preliminary list, and since then, many times have been lost, related to his injury and Biscayne (U21 national team manager) intercessing vibes. Referring to the precedent of Kalinic's removal from the World Cup in Russia, Sousa is completely out of touch with Dalic's Croatian team.
