Luka Vuskovic stands out at HSV with consistently strong performances. He approaches his own performances differently than he does sports in general, with meticulous attention.
In an extensive interview with the Croatian medium "tportal", he reported: "I have a private analyst with whom I speak after every game to review things. He sends me clips, we have a video call and go through what was good and what wasn't." Otherwise, Vuskovic, who at just 18 years old already acts very composed on the field, doesn't engage as intensively with football. He watches all the "important games, the finals of the big club and international competitions," but otherwise, he's "not a big fan of it."
"I train a lot, I play a lot, you're constantly involved with football, and sometimes it just becomes too much for me. Then coming home after training and watching more games... that's tough," explained the Croatian. Instead, Vuskovic, described by everyone working with him as very diligent in training, enjoys "switching off from football, watching a movie or a series, and just relaxing."
Additionally, he tries to spend a lot of time with his family, who still live in Split but regularly travel to Hamburg: "We play board games, go for walks in the city, or do something similar." Vuskovic is very taken with his current place of residence: "The city is beautiful, after Split, it's my absolute favorite city. The city is incredible, it offers everything you can imagine."
He further explained: "I live in a really good location, near the stadium and the city center. I often have visits from friends, my girlfriend, and my family, which is really great." Thus, Vuskovic rarely falls into boredom. He has already distanced himself from social media, which is ideally suited for distraction: "I deleted my Instagram account, I don't need it. I only have TikTok so I can scroll a bit. But I'm not active on social media."
"Now I just want to focus on football. I'm aware that social media and the media are part of the bigger picture, but I don't really want to appear everywhere at the moment," the central defender explained his decision. So far, his plan has been fully successful. At HSV, he is a celebrated key player and also has the best chances of being part of the Croatian World Cup squad in the summer.
