Football family ties draw fire in Serbia, Croatia



Belgrade/Zagreb, May 30 (DPA) Coaches of both Serbia and Croatia, Ilija Petkovic and Zlatko Kranjcar, came under public fire Tuesday over the decision to include their sons in their respective World Cup squads.

Petkovic's son Dusan, 32, was invited Monday as a late replacement for the injured Mirko Vucinic, of Italy's Lecce and just ahead of the team's departure for the final pre-World Cup camp in Austria.

Petkovic did not immediately explain his choice, but local reporters say that several young players from the under-21 team who played in the semi-finals of the European championships in Portugal should have been called up instead.

'It is shameful and scandalous - there are many younger and more fit players out there,' the mass-circulation daily Blic said in a column.

Petkovic was capped 12 times, has switched several sides abroad before returning to OFK Beograd and has not played a single minute in qualifications.

In Croatia, Kranjcar has long since faced similar criticism over the inclusion of his son, Hajduk Split's midfielder Niko, 22, who has had a poor season.

A general opinion seems to be that the sluggish Niko survives in the key position of the national team only because his father coaches it.

'He is the player with most perks in the history of Croatian football,' the Vecernji List daily said.

Both Kranjcars were jeered by fans in Sunday's pre-World Cup test against Iran, played in Osijek in the east of the country.

'Few plays originated from Niko Kranjcar, but most were ended by him,' radio Osijek's commentator said.
