She currently represents Swiss side Grasshoper at club level and the Croatian national team at international level. While speaking to German media outlet 20min, here’s what Markovic stated (h/t dailystar.co.uk):

She added:

While she was born in Croatia, Ana Maria Markovic moved to Switzerland with her family at a tender age. Despite that, she decided to represent her native country at the international level as a player.

Ana Maria Markovic names Luka Modric as her role model

Given Ana Maria Markovic was born in Croatia and represents their women’s national team, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that she idolizes compatriot Luka Modric.

She said:

However, she picked Cristiano Ronaldo as her absolute favorite player. She added:

Modric has had a legendary career, plying his trade with clubs like Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid. He has won five UEFA Champions League trophies at club level.

The veteran midfielder also led his country to the 2018 FIFA World Cup final. Modric also won the FIFA Ballon d’Or award for his exploits in 2018.

Ronaldo, too, has won five Champions League trophies and has broken multiple records. He was key to Portugal’s triumph at the 2016 Euros and has won five Ballon d’Or awards.
