However the Selecao wound up on some unacceptable finish of the outcome at Schooling City Arena. Croatia went all the way to extra time and penalties, displaying the same tenacity that made them World Cup finalists in 2018. In midfield, Croatia’s most well-known stars Luka Modric and Mateo Kovacic played a crucial role once more.
The European nation actually dominated for long stretches in the first half. However, in the second half and when the game went to penalties, they were heavily dependent on goalkeeper Dominik Livakovi to keep Brazil at bay. Brazil had eight attempts, but none of them got past the Croatian No. 1, whom UK pundit Micah Richards later called “the man of the game.”
Dominik Livakovic is a goalkeeper for Croatia.
Dinamo Zagreb’s goalkeeper is Livakovic, who is 27 years old. Before making his senior debut in 2012, he participated in the rival club’s amateur team, NK Zagreb, as a member of the team’s academy.
He signed a contract to play for Dinamo, the larger club that has won the Croatian league 23 times and is currently the champion. He lists David de Gea of Manchester United and Iker Casillas of Spain as two of his favorite goalkeepers.
Livakovic is a goalkeeper for Croatia.
Livakovic remains with Dinamo Zagreb, and the goalkeeper has never played outside of his home country. He has gotten 38 covers for his public group, however, making his presentation in 2017. He and Dinamo Zagreb might find that the goalkeeper gets some interest in moving after the World Cup in Qatar.
In the 90 minutes of the match against Brazil, which ended 0-0, he made more saves than Alisson did all tournament long.
Contract and transfer value for Livakovic According to Transfermarkt, his current contract ends in June 2024. His transfer value is €8.50 million, but it will undoubtedly rise after the World Cup, particularly if he wins the Golden Glove award, which is given to the best goalkeeper in the tournament.
After a performance like the one against Brazil
he may attract interest from the Premier League or top European leagues in the future. In the past, he has been linked with a move to Turkish club Fenerbahce.
Livakovic’s record for penalties A viral video of Croatia legend and veteran Luka Modric giving the goalkeeper a boost has gone viral. It clearly worked, as the goalkeeper saved goals from Japan and Brazil to advance to the semifinals.
Livakovic had saved 14 of his career’s 54 penalties prior to the World Cup. In the shootout against Japan, where the score was 1-1 after 120 minutes, he made a hat trick of saves, and in the shootout against Brazil, he made another save from Rodrygo.
Brazil’s Marquinhos also missed, hitting the post with a shot that proved crucial as Croatia won 4-2 on penalties. In the semi-final, they will face either Argentina or the Netherlands.
