Passion, idols and the Croatian National Team: ten facts about Petar Sučić
Born in Livno in Bosnia and Herzegovina on 25 October 2003, Petar Sučić began playing football with NK Sport Prevent Bugojno, the amateur team of the biggest city in his region. In 2018, he played in Iskra Bugojno's youth sector, remaining there until 2020, when he caught the eyes of Zrinjski Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina's most successful side. In January 2022, he moved to Dinamo Zagreb, playing in the club's second team: Dinamo then sent him on loan to Zrinjski Mostar, where he won the league and national Cup. He returned to Zagreb where he stayed for two seasons, winning the league, Croatian Cup and super cup in the 2023/24 season. In the season just gone, Sučić scored two goals in the Champions League against AS Monaco and Slovan Bratislava and make his debut with Croatia. In total, Petar made 31 appearances and scored seven goals last season, his best rate in his career so far. A PASSIONE SINCE BIRTH Sučić's love for football was born a long time ago, since childhood. A love born at home, with family and friends, during endless days playing with a ball outside. THE PITCHES OF KANDIJA The first pitch that Petar played on was in Kandija, the village where he grew up. A small village with just 300 residents, where his family owned a farm and where he started to kick a ball. FIRST CLASS EXAMPLES Croatia is a country which is famous for its first class players, especially midfielders. Sučić was able to draw inspiration since childhood from players like former Inter players, Mateo Kovacic and Marcelo Brozovic. That's not all: in general, Sučić has always appreciated midfielders who are able to read and understand the game. On an international level, Petar admired the Spanish midfield department of Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets. INTER LEGEND Alongside his compatriots, Petar has always loved Ronaldo, the Brazilian wonder player who enchanted Inter fans from 1997 to 2002. R9 is Sučić's favourite Inter Legend. THE EIGHTH CROATIAN IN INTER'S HISTORY Despite being born in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Petar chose to play for Croatia, the country of his parents. Sučić made his international debut this season, in the Nations League match in Lisbon against Portugal on 5 September. In October, Petar also scored his first goal, in the match between Poland and Croatia in October 2024. Advertisement "Wearing the Croatia shirt is the best feeling in the world. Every player in the world wants to represent their country" Sučić is the eighth Croatian to play for Inter: the first seven players were Antonio Blasevich, Dario Simic, Marko Livaja, Mateo Kovacic, Marcelo Brozovic, Ivan Perisic and Sime Vrsaljko. THREE WORDS A technical midfielder with great precision and running, Petar is a player who describes himself using these three words: PERSONALITY, PATIENCE AND JOY. FREE TIME When he's not training or playing, Sučić spends his free time with his family. A lover of video games, Petar likes to relax by spending time in town: now he will have the chance to discover Milano after being in Mostar and Zagreb. FOOTBALLER COUSIN Petar is not the only football addicted Sučić: his cousin Luka Sučić, born in Linz on 8 September 2002, plays for Real Sociedad and in the Croatian National Team. Luka already faced Inter in the 2023/24 season in the Champions League, when he played for RB Salzburg. The midfielder played the entirety of both games won by Inter in the group stage. FOOTBALL, ONLY ONE PASSION Despite the great Croatian legacy in different sports, Petar only has love for football. On TV, the only sport he follows is football. PRE-MATCH RITUALS How does Petar Sučić concentrate before a match? The Croatian loves to listen to music on the bus, but then abandons his phone to concentrate fully on the match. Attention and concentration to the max: before the match, Petar takes time out to pray.
