Despite his old age, Koyler has not given up on football: The best is Ero, there is no worst

Yes, that story is true. We were playing against Elektrobosna in Jajce. Then I was playing for Dubrav. I threw the ball from a corner. There was a strong wind. There was a storm. Strong. There was a huge resistance in the air. So much so that I reached the penalty area after the corner kick, jumped and headed the ball into the goal. No one saw anything, but from that time on, the story about Grgic being faster than the ball has been around.

Scarf from Ćira

This is how the story of Kasim Grgić Cojle from Gradisca began. Cojle is a big fan of the Bosnia and Herzegovina football team. In fact, he loves the national team so much that he never misses a single game.

– Yes, I go everywhere where there are matches. There is not a single match without my participation. I watch everything. These are “at home” and “off the field”. This is my passion, this is how it is. One cannot resist this, Gergic told Oslobodenger.

He said that at first he supported Zelia and the Yugoslav national football team, then after the collapse of the former country, he switched to the Bosnian national team. Gergic said that even today he still supports Zelia. At one point, the love was so strong that he named his son after the famous football player Zelia.

– I said to myself: if it was a boy, his name would be Edin. According to Edin Spreca. I was male with him and named him Edin. The love for football was so great, it appeared in my childhood. As they say – from a young age. I played in championships. At that time there was a regional league in Yugoslavia, and I played in Dubrava. I had a lot of talent, but my career ended the moment I entered the Hunters. Ball and hunting do not go together, says Gördjić.

He received a scarf from Ćira Blažević. He has a good relationship with Blazo Slišković. And Meh Kodra. He says he gets along well with all the coaches of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team. He keeps tickets for all the matches in his files.

– I travel at my own expense and watch matches. It does not matter whether they play in Bosnia or abroad. I also watched a friendly match against Sweden 13 years ago. Then I got a jersey from Zlatan Muslimovic. I love sports. I am 74 years old. Today I still play with my friends. One day we had a tournament in the village and I got injured there, so now I am sick for a few days, says Gergic.

The happiest moment was when Bosnia and Herzegovina played against Denmark in 2003. It was a European Championship qualifier, and Bosnia and Herzegovina beat Denmark on their own field. The match took place on April 2, 2003 in Copenhagen.

– Bardzic and Barbares scored. My happiness has no end. I was saddest when Bosnia and Herzegovina did not qualify for the Nations League. I also regret that we lost against Slovakia and Ukraine. I regret that Zlatan Ibrahimovic did not play for Bosnia and Herzegovina. That was the policy. We did not call him and he did not play for Bosnia and Herzegovina. I think it was the fault of the Football Association, said Gergic.

If the league was not functioning well before, now everything seems to be in place. According to him, contracts cannot be signed for three or four months, but for a longer period. This is the only way for the team to get back on its feet and play good football, Coyle said.

– The best pick is Ćiro Blažević. The worst? There is no worst. The best representative is Edin Dzeko. I am always with him. In all competitions, wherever he plays, I am always with him. “I have met all of them and I love them like my own people,” Grgic pointed out.

He follows Görgic and other sports and cheers for all that is “ours.” He cheers for Djokovic when he plays. He recently watched the European Football Championship and said he is happy that Spain has made it to the finish line. He cheered for Germany in the first stage and when the armored car lost, he wore red fury until the end.

Katalinsky and Sekuralak

– Pisi is the culprit for Serbia’s relegation. He made a big difference to the players. Against England, he didn’t send Tadic, the brain. He is Pjanic here. Or Modric’s influence on the Croatians. Croatia was eliminated, I am sorry. I will not let Dalic as coach. However, Grgic said that there should be an athlete in this position.

For him, Josip Katalinski is the best Yugoslav footballer ever. Then there is Sekuralak. He adds that Pixie is also great. It is difficult to pick one because, as he says, Yugoslavia had countless great players.

– Yugoslavia was a football power. Now there are great players. Serbia has a better team than Germany, it just needs everything to agree. Even then I watched everything. I watched Red Star several times at the Maracana. When she beat the English. I watched everything I could, and Kasim Grgic ended his story.
