Edin Dzeko slams Bosnia coach Safet Susic for making him play full game

Dzeko slams Bosnia coach

Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko has criticised Bosnia-Herzegovina coach Safet Susic for keeping him on the field for the full 90 minutes against Egypt last night.

The 27-year-old has revealed that he expected to be substituted at half time as his boss knew that he was carrying a knock before the game.

According to Sky Sports News, Dzeko wrote on his Facebook page: "I came here with a niggling injury and Susic knew that, and he still didn't substitute me either at half-time, which was the plan, or after the break when I asked to be replaced. I don't know why he left me on the pitch for the full 90 minutes."

He also responded to supporters that jeered him in the crowd by saying: "I wish to thank all fans who support me but the others should be ashamed because I am a born winner and always played my heart out for the national team."

Susic also criticised the fans that gave Dzeko a negative reception.
