Croatia's 33-year-old midfielder Robert Prosinecki will offer his team creative playmaking genius.
Yet despite his love for defensive fortitude, Jozic has also indulged 33-year-old Robert Prosinecki, another of the "old guard", by surrounding the aging playmaker with hard-working team mates who think nothing of sacrificing themsleves for "Robbie".
Alongside veterans Prosinecki, Robert Jarni, 1998 Golden Boot winner Davor Suker and Alen Boksic -- who is set for his World Cup debut at 32 -- Jozic will be blending in the inexperienced Boris Zivkovic and Niko Kovac.

At the age of 33 and nearing the end of a career full of highs and lows, Robert Prosinecki is again making his mark as Croatia's leader.
Prosinecki also made history when he netted against Jamaica in Croatia's 1998 World Cup debut, becoming the first player ever to score for two different countries -- Croatia and Yugoslavia in 1990 -- at the World Cup finals.
Prosinecki did the job for Jozic when it mattered most -- in a hard-fought draw against Scotland at Hampden Park, and the decisive 1-0 win over Belgium, when he set up Bosko Balaban for a break that lead to Alen Boksic's winner.

For every Portsmouth fan knows how Robert Prosinecki must have felt in the dressing room after turning in a world-class performance and yet, somehow, still failing to finish on the winning side.

Fears are growing that Croatian legend Robert Prosinecki will not be handed the work permit he needs to play for Pompey this season.
Prosinecki's arrival at Fratton Park a week ago was met with excitement by the club but the Croatia international is not thought to have met the criteria needed to warrant a work permit.
Former Real Madrid playmaker Prosinecki is still only 32 and was hoping to play against Wolves on Saturday after apparently completing his move from Belgian outfit Standard Liege, but he needs to have played 75 per cent of Croatia's games over the last two years and that is thought to be the stumbling block.

Much of what Croatia achieve starts from the boots of Robert Prosinecki.
The mecurial midfielder, who left Portsmouth at the end of the season, is still the creative force for his national side even at the age of 32.
Prosinecki first came to the world's attention at the World Youth Championship where he was named player of the tournament as an 18-year-old.

Prosinecki is still a central schemer for his national team, as is Alen Boksic (right).
Bayern Munich's Robert Kovac is as reliable a right-back as you'll find (and his brother Niko wreaks havoc in midfield); Serie A-seasoned stoppers Igor Tudor and Dario Simic (Juventus and Inter) are scrooges and proud of it; and left-back Robert Jarni, wizened certainly, still with a wicked shot and cross on him.
Tudor and Balaban (who has netted 6 goals in 12 games for his country, as opposed to zero for his club, Aston Villa) are two of the few young hopes to emerge in Croatia since France '98.

Prosinecki, looking for a touch of class, got a slice of good fortune instead as his effort took a deflection off the Forest wall and left goal keeper Darren Ward stranded.
Prosinecki was at the heart of most of their attacks and when his 10th minute free kick was deflected, Steve Lovell lifted the loose ball over the bar.
Prosinecki, himself, was guilty of a wasted opportunity in the 15th minute.

 Croatia Caps Debut With Win Over Holland
ARIS -- Robert Prosinecki and Davor Suker both scored first-half counter-attack goals and Croatia claimed third place at its first World Cup with a 2-1 victory over the Netherlands Saturday night.
Prosinecki's goal in the 13th minute and Suker's in the 36th both came against the run of play as the Dutch dominated possession and allowed Croatia only three shots on net in the first 45 minutes.
His ball sprung Robert Jarni down the left side and an ensuing low cross was a half step behind Prosinecki.

Prosinecki was a member of the multi-ethnic Red Star Belgrade team in 1991 that beat Marseille in Bari to win the European Cup, going on for good measure to add the Intercontinental Cup, although that prize was won without Prosinecki, now at Portsmouth.
Bayern Munich midfielder Niko Kovac, whose defender brother Robert is a colleague both for club and country, also has an eye for goal.
In midfield Prosinecki, Jarni and Kovac will be joined by Stijepan Tomas and Goran Vlaovic, a veteran of Euro 96 and France 98 with Mario Stanic of Chelsea providing another alternative.

Prosinecki, Suker and Mirko himself all retired after the perceived failure, leaving Otto Baric to pick up the pieces.
New man in the hot seat, Zlatko Kranjcar (father of current player Nico and former international with Yugoslavia), was credibly able to steer the side to a first-place finish in a tough European qualifying group ahead of Sweden, Bulgaria and Hungary for a spot in the finals.
Though certainly not as star-studded a side as the one that stormed to third in France, Igor Tudor, the brothers Kovac (Niko and Robert) and Dado Prso still form the backbone of a fairly significant team of which only one member plays his club football in the Croatian top flight.

Baric has turned the international retirements of Davor Suker, Robert Jarni, Alen Boksic and Robert Prosinecki into a positive, breathing new life into a team by bringing in several young and talented stars such as striker Ivica Olic, midfielders Marko Babic and Dario Srna and defender Mario Tokic.
Alongside Igor Tudor, Kovac is the anchor of the stingy Croatian defence.

 Fratton Faithful - Latest News: Prosinecki for Pompey?   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Prosinecki has been a key player in the Croat side for many years and was regarded by most football pundits as a player to watch in the most recent world tournaments.
Prosinecki has received a number of offers, in England from Everton and Derby, but apparently Pompey have made him the most lucrative offer, making the club favourites to make the biggest signing in our history.
It is doubtful that a player of Prosinecki’s calibre would be happy to drop to £6,000 a week so it looks like Pompey’s wage structure will be broken to accommodate the Croat’s wages.
