Tomi Juric Girlfriend
The woman who moved halfway across the world to join Western Sydney Wanderers striker Tomi Juric
May 2, 2014
SHE put her law studies on hold to join Wanderers striker Tomi Juric in Australia, but Valentina Kozulj says moving to Sydney was worth the sacrifice. Kozulj caught Juric’s eye when he was in Croatia playing for Lokomotiva Zagreb, but he admits it took him a while to approach her. The 22-year-old was still finding his feet in a new country and knew he had to wait until he was more settled.
“I don’t think I would have been able to meet her if I wasn’t settled, because I was a little bit shy going over to Croatia,” Juric said.
“But I got into my stride and I was able to get the courage to say hi. It took me while, but when I saw her I was pretty confident about going to talk to her.”
“He was so nice,” Kozulj said.
“He is a gentleman and he’s very handsome and smart. We have so much in common, so we just clicked.”
When Juric made the decision to sign for Western Sydney last year, Kozulj knew she had to follow him to Australia even if it meant leaving her family.
“He’s my soul mate, so when I heard he needed to go back to Australia straight away I knew I had to go with him because we were meant for each other,” she said.
“Everywhere he goes I can go with him because I love him and that’s the most important thing.”
Kozulj has been a huge support for Juric and kept him positive while he dealt with a serious knee injury in the middle of the season.
“I’ve found her to be a great support for me through some difficult periods,” Juric said.
“I had an injury and an operation on my knee – it was my first injury and it was a little bit rough for me – and she was able to support me throughout that period.”
Kozulj hopes to finish her law studies one day, but for now she is loving her life in Sydney.
“It’s beautiful – I like Australia very much,” she said.
“It’s a beautiful country and the people here are very kind. The weather is awesome and sunny and now I have lots of friends here.”
Kozulj won’t be at Sunday’s grand final because she couldn’t find a flight that would get her to Brisbane in time for the game, but she will certainly be watching.
“I like to watch every game – I get so excited before the game just like him,” Kozulj said.
“So I’m going to watch with my friends in Sydney and I wish him, the Wanderers and Popa (Tony Popovic) all the best.”
Tomi Juric Parents
SOCCEROOS Goalscorer Tomi Juric reckons there is a teenage Aussie striker who could take his Socceroos spot in the next few years. His name is Deni Juric, aka Tomi’s little brother. It was teenage Deni, 17, that Juric acknowledged after scoring 27 minutes after coming on for Tim Cahill, via written message under his Socceroos shirt.
It read “mama, tata, braco”, Croatian for “mum, dad, little brother”, who were watching on live TV in Croatia. SOCCEROOS Goalscorer Tomi Juric reckons there is a teenage Aussie striker who could take his Socceroos spot in the next few years.
His name is Deni Juric, aka Tomi’s little brother. It was teenage Deni, 17, that Juric acknowledged after scoring 27 minutes after coming on for Tim Cahill, via written message under his Socceroos shirt. It read “mama, tata, braco”, Croatian for “mum, dad, little brother”, who were watching on live TV in Croatia. “My family’s in Zagreb, they’re watching from there,’’ Juric said.
“When I was young they moved there.
“It was the whole experience, to get in and experience something new and it was good for me and my younger brother to learn the language.
“While we were there we had a crack at football. There were a lot of ups and downs.’’
Juric has had at least two multimillion-dollar offers tabled from China, and is weighing them up despite a fortnight ago declaring that his preference was to move to Europe. It appears as though the Wanderers expect to lose Juric, having just announced the signing of former Young Socceroos striker Kerem Bulut and Japanese attacker Yojiro Takahagi. Juric is confident his best is yet to come.
“I need to improve every part of my game, from tactically to physically, to consistency,’’ Juric said.
“Once I start doing that I’ll start improving quicker and better. I’m young and I’ve still got a long way to go.
“If I can keep going and get a lot of games under my belt I think I can go a long way.
“The most important person in my development is me. Someone’s there to teach you but it’s up to you to listen.
“If had some good teachers and I’ve got great teachers now with Popa, Ange and the (Socceroos) coaching staff, so it’s up to me to listen and learn.’’
Juric Socceroos
Tomi Juric out to secure Socceroos starting spot and potential club move
The Aussie striker is a man on a mission ahead of Russia. He was on the verge of missing the World Cup just a week ago, but Tomi Juric is fit and firing again, desperate to secure himself a starting spot for the Socceroos in Russia. Juric has been Australia’s go to striker for a few years now, however a knee injury to the Swiss-based attacker threw a spanner in the works leading up to the World Cup with Jamie Maclaren recalled to the squad.
In a recent friendly against Czech Republic, Andrew Nabbout led the line scoring his first Socceroos goal before Maclaren replaced him after an hour. Having utilised an underwater treadmill in his bid to overcome injury, Juric believes he’s ready to play again and is eager to start Australia’s final friendly against Hungary.
“I wouldn’t mind (starting against Hungary) to be honest, it’d be nice to get back onto the park a bit longer and get some minutes under the belt before the tournament,” Juric said.
“Obviously it’s a confidence thing as well to get it out of the way and get the legs going.
“I felt quite sharp in the last training. I hit the back of the net a couple of times and it’s always a good feeling.
“I’ve just got to go with the flow. I give everything, everything I can on the park…I can only control what I do on the pitch.”
Juric has labeled his knee complaint as annoying rather than anything serious at this stage, with the 26-year-old desperate to help steer Australia to some upsets in Russia. Currently playing for Luzern in Switzerland, the Australian striker is hoping some strong performances at the World Cup can propel him to a bigger club in Europe. “Anything can happen with a World Cup,” he told the Sydney Morning Herald.
“Obviously I’d like to continue my footballing career in better pastures, achieve goals and things I’ve set out for myself to do.
“A good club in a better league. Just better than where I’m at and a step ahead of where I am at the moment, wherever that will be.”
Tomi Juric Salary
The contract on offer to Juric would make him the highest paid Australian footballer; he could earn as much as $18 million over three seasons. The deal includes a minimum salary of $3 million, with bonuses and other benefits on offer.

Tomi Juric Injury
Jamie Maclaren has been called into Socceroos camp after Tomi Juric injury
Maclaren, who hit a purple patch after joining Scottish side Hibernian on loan in January, had initially been cut from the extended 26-man Socceroos squad to widespread outcry. But has now joined the squad at their pre-World Cup training camp in Antalya, Turkey – arriving on Sunday evening (local time).
Maclaren set for recall
The striker will now have the chance to prove his worth to coach Bert van Marwijk before the squad is cut down to 23 after a friendly against the Czech Republic on June 1.
“Tomi Juric has had a knee issue over the last three weeks which is being monitored by our medical team,” said van Marwijk.
“We hope that Tomi will be able to train and play this week, but his recovery might also take longer. That is why we have decided to bring in Jamie Maclaren now so that he also has a fair chance to display his qualities before the final 23 player squad must be announced.”
However, Fox Sports’ Daniel Garb believes Maclaren’s recall was taken ‘mainly as a precaution, with Juric still a chance to make it to Russia.
“Hearing Juric isn’t too bad,” Garb tweeted.
“Could well train today. Maclaren’s call-up mainly as a precaution. That being said with the final 23 named in less than a week there’s a lot for Bert to ponder. If Juric doesn’t get back to 100% by June 3 does he take the risk or not?”
Fox Football expert and former Socceroo Robbie Slater broke the news on Monday on Fox Sports News, and it has since been confirmed.
“I’ve heard from my sources… that Tomi Juric might have got himself injured as well and might be out completely,” Slater said.
“And Jamie Maclaren might be recalled. I sat here two weeks ago when we talked about the squad and thought Maclaren should have been there, well maybe he is going to get the chance with my mail suggesting, and its not confirmed, that Tomi Juric may be out all together and Jamie Maclaren to come in and take his spot.”
“They’ll probably have to pull him off a beach somewhere but thats the big news I’m hearing, that’s the mail I’ve got.”
Juric had entered the side’s training camp in Antalya, Turkey carrying a slight injury.

Tomi Juric News
Juric: France Didn’t Create Much
Updated On: 17th June 2018
Source: https://www.fourfourtwo.com.au/news/juric-france-didnt-create-much-494266
Tomi Juric believes France struggled to create attacking opportunities against the Socceroos, and the Green and Gold can take plenty of positives from their 2018 World Cup opener.
Australia went down 2-1 to France in Kazan, a late Paul Pogba goal handing the Europeans the Group C victory.
Les Bleus took the lead controversially from the penalty spot after the VAR intervened. Speaking after the game, Juric said the Socceroos were undone by “controversial decisions”.
“I’m disappointed,” he said.
“We knew if we stayed organised and compact we could make it difficult for them, and it showed today. I don’t think they really created anything solid enough. They could say they were the better team and created enough chances to win the game.
“There were two controversial decisions. The penalty – you can judge for yourself – some might say yes, some might say no. How much luck do you need to grab a goal like they did for the second one?
“For me, I prefer the natural way of football. It just gives the game the natural flow, the momentum, the atmospshere. I’m not a big fan of the VAR, but it is what it is.”
Australia next face Denmark in Samara on June 21.
Juric believes the Socceroos can go into that match confident on the back of their display against France.
“We did a good job and if we continue to play this way and with this passion and togetherness like we did today, we can be pretty optimistic about the next two games,” the striker said.
“I’m positive not getting the result today will open up a lot more doors for offensive actions and possibly even changes. I’m just preparing as best I can on and off the pitch, in training and making sure I do everything right.
“If called upon I will do my job to the best of ability. Andrew’s quick, he’s dynamic and he moves a lot. He makes it very difficult for the defenders. Obviously that’s not one of my strengths in my game, but I bring something different to the team.”
