In a recent interview for the Bosnian press, Everton FC’s 21-year-old midfielder Muhamed Besic sat down and discussed his private life. In a rare glimpse inside of the mind of “Messi’s Shadow,” Besic made sure to highlight that he’s an everyday guy, with simple needs.
Muhamed Besic is one of the most popular footballer’s on Bosnia-Herzegovina’s roster. His performance at the 2014 World Cup turned a lot of heads, and even brought him to the attention of Everton’s manager Roberto Martinez who seized the opportunity to bring the talented player onboard for a very low fee.
Talking about his own life, Besic stated, “I have my father, my mother, my brother, and my girlfriend. That’s where my circle closes. Friends? I don’t really have them or need them. I may get an occasional cup of coffee with someone but that’s about it. My private life is my sanctuary.”
Many have claimed that he’s arrogant because of principles such as this, but Besic states, “That’s what they said in Hamburg too. But nobody has ever told me that.”
Speaking of football, Besic admitted he hates losing. “When I lose a match, I close myself up in the house for two days or so.” When asked if he had any life philosophy Besic responded, “Man dreams, God decides.”
Besic added that he hates the night-life, clubs, cigarettes, or drinking, none of that attracts him. Even flirtatious women don’t interest the young star. “I found my girl and I’m satisfied with that. I don’t need anyone else.”
What was interesting is that despite of the field's bad condition (rained heavily from the 2nd half whistle) his short and long passes were just as accurate as at 1st half meanwhile the others were mistaken quite much. Bosnian twitter said he played like a pittbull out there and from tactical side: he was a little deeper now than at WC, often stepped back (mostly at corners) as a CB.
