Youth career

The beginning of the career of the famous football player took place in Germany. In the period up to 18 years, Misimović managed to play for four clubs, including Nord Lerchenau, Forstenried, Gartenstadt Trudering and Munich Bayern Munich.

In 2010, the midfielder did not need the club. But he did not have to worry - the contract with the "Bavaria" and interest from "Hamburg" made it possible to continue a career in one of the best leagues in Europe. However, the football player surprised everyone and moved to "Galatasaray" from Turkey. But there he did not have a relationship with the head coach. Gheorghe Haji immediately showed that Misimović did not need the team.

Already in the next year there was news, saying that Zvezdan Misimović had come to Russia. Photo of the sportsman in the T-shirt Dynamo confirmed rumors. In Moscow, things did not turn out as smoothly as expected, because in the position of the attacking midfielder Semshov and Voronin already played. However, this did not prevent Zvezdan from taking the place at the base, even if it took a whole year.

His class showed his football at the end of the season. He alone was able to lead the team for himself, which he did extremely successfully. Midfielder in an uncharacteristic manner went into combat, supplied his comrades in the club with assists, and also distinguished himself eight times.

On the eve of the final match, the Dynamo coach had a dilemma: to put Misimović, who leads everyone behind him, or Voronin and Semshov, who had problems with discipline. The main mistake of Silkin was that he decided to put all three together. And after six months, Zvezdan again proved to be an unnecessary link.

Chinese Period

But nothing can last forever. And in 2014, the player announced his retirement. The reason for this was the lack of normal housing in China, as well as a desire to see my family more often.

However, he simply could not leave. Soon after Misimović, other key players left the team, and the club from the top turned into an outsider of the championship. Therefore, the public began to press on the club and demand the return of Zvezdan to the club. Soon the president of the club Van Golin succumbed and went to Munich to persuade the player to return.
