Hace más de 100 años, algunos viajeros croatas venidos principalmente de la Isla de Brac se instalaron en las templadas temperaturas antofagastinas o en el inclemente frio austral de la patagonia chilena. Con un bolso, un poco de dinero en el bolsillo y las ilusiones de conseguir oportunidades en un aislado rincón del mundo, decidieron radicarse en un nuestro país, a sabiendas de las dificultades de insertarse en una nueva cultura, una nueva lengua y nuevos vecinos.
Desde hace algunos años, varios nuestros futbolistas han hecho el viaje inverso. Motivados por la promesa de una liga trampolín y los cantos de sirena de la kuna croata, algunos han visto en Zagreb, Split, Zapresic, Rijeka u otras ciudades, el espacio donde enmendar el rumbo de sus carreras, conseguir un buen contrato en el exterior o consolidar lo que alguna vez mostraron en sus precoces carreras profesionales. Aunque el abanico no es amplio, si los son los resultados de sus campañas en la liga croata. Adjuntamos algunos hallazgos argentinos que pisaron o están pisando pastos nacionales*.
Del mismo modo incorporamos en nuestro trabajo a aquellos descendientes de croatas que con rigor táctico, técnica, velocidad, clase y fuerza se desempeñaron en equipos nacionales durante las últimas décadas. Tampoco podíamos olvidar a dos estrategas nacidos en Croacia que supieron dejar su sello en el fútbol nacional: Mirko Jozic y el fabuloso Colo Colo de inicios de los 90s ganador de la Libertadores, junto a Andrija Percic, uno de los técnicos más defensivos (para no decir ratón) que pasara primero por el Regional de Antofagasta para luego deleitar la vista de miles de aficionados en Las Higueras de Talcahuano.
Los dejamos con una nueva investigación del equipo cartógráfico de Penal Largo. Čile i Hrvatska, jedno srce (?)
*Inicialmente contábamos con que el joven (?) Christian Bravo había jugado en el NK Inter Zapresic, pero las pesquisas no arrojaron datos de que hubiese vestido de corto en aquella norteña ciudad croata.
SO I know that two months its a looooongggg time for not updating a story, believe me I've been there, but here's the thing, I just started college failed two classes, and well let's say that life hasn't been treating me that good? Add to that, i just found out I'm bi so, yeah lol. Anyways heres the new chapter! Hope you guys forgive me and whoah! And I know it's short, but please I bg you guys, just let me get on with this story again!
“So I walked into the bar and just when I know I got the guy, my pants decide to betray me and they rip right in the middle!” Zack said, and everyone laughed, but not Percy. In fact, Percy was tired of this guy, the only thing he wanted to do was rip his head off, but then, that might be a little too brutal. A Little.
Nico smiled as Zack looks at him, his eyes dancing with joy. Nico might’ve brought Zack just to make Percy jealous, yet he felt good with Zack by his side. All nervousness leaves Nico as Zack places his hand on his leg, near his groin.
“So how long have you known Nico, Zack?” receiving a murderous look from Piper. They all knew that was a dangerous territory to talk about.
Before Zack could answer, Piper jumped in.
“Anyone wants some wine? I think there’s one in the kitchen. Babe, could you please go and bring it?” Piper stared at Annabeth and she sighed, standing up and disappearing from the leaving room.
“You two are just so cute” Piper giggled, and Percy huffed in annoyance, earning everyone’s attention. Perfect.
“I just um, I’m tired Piper, I think I should go now” Percy muttered, his eyes locking with Nico for a moment before he adverted his gaze to where Zack’s hand was.
Zack squeezed Nico’s thigh letting him know what he had to do. Nico sighed and got up as soon as Percy started walking out of the room. Slowly he followed him and just before Percy could open the door, Nico called him. Percy slowly turned around, glaring back at Nico.
“What?” Percy hissed, his sea green eyes furious.
“I- we- um- I “ Nico stammered running a hand through his hair. “We need to talk Percy.”
Percy chuckled and shook his head. “Oh Nico, don’t you think it’s a little too late for the talking shit! You’ve found someone so let me find someone too. I’ve begged for your forgiveness, yet you’ve denied it every time. Yet here you are, wanting to talk with me, just when you’ve introduced your new boy toy to our friends”
“I just wanted to amend things between us” Nico turned his hands into fists as he tried not to let his anger notice “Not come back and be with you again”
“Oh how sweet of you” Sarcasm spilled through Percy’s mouth.
“You know what Percy?! Fuck you! Zack we’re leaving!” Nico shouted and with that he walked out of the door, seconds later Zack walked by receiving a glare from Percy.
“Fuck you!” Percy shouted in the hallway as he saw Nicoand Zac walking away.

“Who needs a man?” Percy shouted as he broke another vase in his apartment. “Who needs another dick when I have mine!” Percy giggled. He was drunk.
Three bottles of vodka, yet he was still awake. Percy couldn’t understand what Zack had that he didn’t. A soft knock on his door’s apartment, snapped him from his thoughts. Blinking rapidly he stared at his clock and frowned when he noticed it was the middle of the night. Stumbling, he walked towards the door and standing there was Leo, with Percy’s jacket on his hands.
“What are you doing here?!” Percy mumbled.
“Piper said you might need this” Leo threw the jacket, but Percy in his drunken state,. Let it fall to the ground.
“Thanks” Percy said, before he looked up at Leo once more. “May I ask you something, Leo?”
Nervously, Leo nodded.
“Would you make love to me, and not tell after?” Percy tried to grin, but fail miserably.
Leo blinked twice and shook his head. “I can fuck you Percy, not make love to you.”
“Same thing” Percy rolled his drunken eyes at Leo.
“Okay” Leo grinned as he stepped forward and kissed Percy.

“I think I’m in love with that shirt” Zack said as Nico started pulling it off.
“Do you, now?” Nico winked as Zack laughed.
“I love when you’re like this” Zack grinned “All macho man!”
Nico chuckled and joined Zack in the bed. “I want to cuddle tonight, is that all right with you?” Nico asked Zack as he slowly circled his arms around his torso.
“That would be perfect” Zack smiled, his heart beating a thousand times per second.
“What are you doing to me Zack” Nico whispered as Zack turned the lights off and both of them fell asleep.

Percy woke up, feeling nauseous and sick. Suddenly the thought of the three bottles of vodka invaded his mind and he groaned. How had he been so stupid?
He slowly got up from bed and walked towards his bathroom. His butthole hurt but he didn’t care for it at the moment. All he wanted to do was take a piss.
Suddenly a sound in his kitchen made him turn around almost peeing in the floor. Was someone else with him? Was it a thief? For the first time, Percy noticed that he was naked. And that could only mean one thing. Grabbing a pillow to cover himself, he walked out in the hallway towards the kitchen and he gasped when he saw who was standing there.
A pair of brown eyes met his and he frowned.
“I know” Leo muttered, not meeting his gaze.
“Did we?” Percy groaned not able to finish his sentence.
“Apparently” Leo nodded.
“When?”
“Middle of the night, you practically begged me for it”
“And you agreed? I was drunk!” Percy shouted.
“And here we are knowing that that didn’t stopped you.” Leo scolded back.
“Fuck you” Percy turned around walking back to his room.
“No wonder Nico left!” Leo shouted before he angrily left the apartment.
