LOVRO MAJER: THE NEW MODRIĆ
Born in 1998, Lovro Majer is an impressive attacking midfielder, having pursued his talent and passion for football since he was a child.
Technically skilled, powerful and fast, Majer perfectly represents the archetype of a modern midfielder: he is adept at providing assistance, dribbling, shooting from all positions, covering the field and aggressively playing defense.
FOOTBALL INSPIRATION
Majer has been compared by many to Ballon d'Or winner Luka Modric, both for his physical resemblance and the way he moves on the pitch. And indeed, Majer has never hid his admiration for the number 10 kit-wearer from Real Madrid - even having declared to be inspired by him. In 2010, at the age of 12, Lovro left the Dinamo youth academy to join NK Dubrava and then continued on to Zagreb’s NK Trnje in 2012. At 15, Lokomotiva Zagreb believed in his qualities and recruited him. There, in the right environment to grow and develop, young Majer refined his techniques and became even faster.
