Dejan Lovren (; born 5 July 1989) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Premier League club Liverpool and the Croatian national team. Lovren began his career at Dinamo Zagreb before moving to Olympique Lyonnais in January 2010. He spent three-and-a-half seasons with the Ligue 1 team, winning the 2012 Coupe de France. In 2013, he signed for Southampton, and after one season there, he joined Liverpool for £20 million. Although born in what is now Bosnia and Herzegovina, Lovren has represented Croatia at many levels and has been a full international since 2009. He has gone on to make 30 appearances and score two goals for his country, as well as being selected for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. ==Early life== Lovren was born to Croatian parents in Zenica, Yugoslavia, present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina. When the Bosnian War began in the 1990s, Lovren's family made the decision to escape to Munich. Lovren was three years old when his family fled Yugoslavia, and spent the next seven years in Germany. Lovren states that he was "a happy boy, I spoke German perfectly, I went to school, I played for a little club." The family, however, eventually had to return as they did not possess necessary documentation. They settled in Karlovac, Croatia, 50 kilometres southwest of the capital city of Zagreb. Lovren initially found settling in Croatia difficult, and struggled in school for a couple of years due to his unfamiliarity with the language.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dejan Lovren」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
