Kovac - good man-to-man marker. (Allsport)
ROBERT KOVAC
Position: Defender
Born: 06.04.74
Club: Bayern Munich
Kovac was born in Berlin but qualifies to play for Croatia through his parents. He started his career at Bayer Leverkusen before landing a high-profile move to Bayern Munich. He has gained valuable experience in the Champions League with both clubs and has the reputation of being one of the finest man-markers in the Bundesliga. Consistency has been the key word during Kovac's career and is one of the reasons why he will start in Croatia's defence once the tournament gets under way. He is likely to face some of the biggest names in the world in the coming months - just the sort of challenge this fierce competitor will relish.
