Bara says Olmo really loves Dinamo and the city, and will be heavily involved with the club even after the end of his playing days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g79 _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">\u201cHe wants to finish his career at Dinamo and hopes that will be the case \u2014 even as a coach; he would like to start his managerial career at Dinamo. Dani still walks around the house in a Dinamo jersey with the number 7 and his name on it, even now in Barcelona. Other players approach him, and everyone knows the story: when you mention Olmo, their first association is Dinamo. He is far more connected to Dinamo than those who ought to be, yet aren\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Zagreb really is the place where Olmo grew as a player and person and opened the doors to a great career that ultimately led to his return to Bar\u00e7a and a key starting role in Spain\u2019s World Cup winning squad this summer, so it\u2019s not at all surprising to see just how grateful Dani is to a club that helped him so much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Even though he was born in Catalonia and is a product of La Masia who decided to return&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":867890,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[49042,403,99],"class_list":["post-867889","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-barcelona-news","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867889","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=867889"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867889\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/867890"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=867889"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=867889"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=867889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
