They beat Ukraine 1-0 in Velika Gorica as part of European Championship qualifying.<\/p>\n<p>Vuskovic was a key part of that once again. He\u2019s continued a strong start to the season, establishing himself as a key player at Hamburg.<\/p>\n<p>The Tottenham youngster has been earning rave reviews left, right and centre, with Hamburg, Tottenham and Croatia all very excited about his development.<\/p>\n<p>Pulji\u0107 is one those enthused by him. He believes the Spurs defender could even be headed to the World Cup next summer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEm is the youngest, he is also the captain. There is already no dispute about him that he should be on the list for the World Cup,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVu\u0161kovi\u0107 is improving in every game, every month, at every gathering, and we will get true value from him for the next ten years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s really pleasing about him is his head. He\u2019s an incredible worker and thinks about football in a healthy way,\u201d added Dali\u0107.<\/p>\n<p>Tottenham youngster has big year ahead<\/p>\n<p>Dobrini\u0107, meanwhile, believes it would not be surprising to see the Tottenham youngster in the Croatia first team soon. Perhaps even for the World Cup next summer.<\/p>\n<p>He feels the youngster may be on a path to repeat what Josko Gvardiol did earlier in his career. He was a surprise inclusion for Euro 2021, and then quickly established himself thereafter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would not surprise me, in the variant that Gvardiol will play at left back, if Vu\u0161kovi\u0107 plays in a stopper pair with \u0160utalo,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnything is possible, HSV is playing very well. If Vu\u0161kovi\u0107 makes another step or two, which he is constantly working on, it is not impossible that he will be a starter at the World Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tottenham youngster Luka Vuskovic has been backed for a role at the World Cup, and an even bigger&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":204804,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-204803","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204803","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=204803"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204803\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/204804"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=204803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=204803"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=204803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
