The success of the Croatian national football team in recent years has a lot to do with the contribution of striker Andrej Kramaric. Kramaric played a key role in Croatia’s historic success at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. Kramaric played for all categories of Croatian youth teams before being called up by coach Niko Kovač to the senior squad in August 2014. He made his national team debut in 2014 in a friendly against Cyprus. He later took part in Euro 2016. Kramaric was the hero of a match against Ukraine, scoring the two goals that helped his team qualify for the World Cup playoffs.
Kramaric is much admired in his country, more so by the fans of his boyhood club Dinamo Zagreb. During his youth career, he netted over 450 goals for the team, making him the highest goalscorer for the youth team. He was promoted to the club’s senior team in 2009. After a successful loan spell at Lokomotiva where he scored 20 goals in 44 appearances, Dinamo sold him to another Croatian club, HNK Rijeka, where he broke his career record by scoring 37 goals. appearances.
His performance at Rijeka has attracted interest from several English clubs, including Leicester City, who he is joining in a club-record £9million transfer. His stay at Leicester was short-lived as he was loaned to Bundesliga club 1899 Hoffenheim where he was subsequently sold.
Andrej Kramaric family, relatives
Andrej Kramarić was born on June 19, 1991 in Zagreb, Croatia to Josip and Danica Kramarić. Since expressing his interest in football, Kramaric enjoys the support of his parents and his entire family. As a child, Kramaraic played football in the back of their building and everywhere else he could with his father Josip.
Josip has dedicated a lot of time to ensure his son has had the best football education possible. He was so dedicated to his son’s football career that he had to retire early to fully assume the management of his son. Kramaric therefore doesn’t have a typical manager/agent, unlike most footballers.
Looking at Kramaric’s success and growth over the course, it’s fair to say that Josip has done a great job. For her part, his mother, who knows very little about football techniques, always supports her son.
From the way Andrej Kramaric gushes about his parents through his social media accounts, it’s obvious to see the closeness the family shares. He once revealed to the media that whenever he had the chance, he visited his parents. Excited about their son’s inclusion in the 23-man squad representing Croatia in Russia in 2018, Kramaric’s parents arrived in Russia early, just before the World Cup.
The media caught up with them in Russia, where Kramaric’s mother, Danica, wished her son, and other Croatian footballers, an injury-free tournament.
Another key person in Kramaric’s life, besides his parents, is his sister. Her name is Ines Kramaric and is Kramaric’s only sister and brother. Kramaric and Ines have a very close relationship. Ines, who is about four years older than Kramaric, is studying to become a psychologist. We followed her Instagram page and discovered that she was an avid photographer.
Ines has several clips of herself watching her brother play in the stadium. Kramaric’s closeness to his family is no wonder why he always dedicates his goals to his family.
Andrej Kramaric has not started building his family yet… However, he has already tried in the past. One woman who could so easily have become Ms. Kramaric was Marine Pavić, whom he dated for 6 years before splitting in 2015. Atypical of Kramaric, he initially kept his relationship with Pavić a secret, but it was learned through the following that they were an article. While publicizing their split, Kramaric noted that he was still good friends with Pavić.
