Joško Guardiol, until recently anonymous and now... The young Croat played in Leipzig and reached the seventh position among the most expensive footballers in the World Cup in Qatar with a figure of up to 100 million.

And that was before the World Cup.

In a draw tailored for the Croatians against Belgium, Guardiol will be the highest paid defender of all time.

"He is the best stopper in the world already, his feeling and control of the ball are incredible. It is true that we went to the knockout phase as a team, but Guardiol was the best tonight," said Zlatko Dalić, the coach of the "Fire".

Guardiola was not disturbed by the news that he would move from the World Cup to Chelsea, which the media buzzed about during the day.

"I'm a Leipzig player, I don't think about those transfer matters because that's what my agent is working on. However, maybe one day I'll switch to Chelsea. Why not, it's a big club," said Guardiol after the success of the "Fire".
