INFO:
Bišćan is a former central or defensive midfielder, side back and centre back. His career began in 1997. After a first year on loan at Samobor, he spent two seasons and a half at Dinamo Zagreb, playing 92 matches and scoring 12 goals. He joined Liverpool in January 2001, making 117 appearances and scoring 3 goals. He left in 2005 for Panathinaikos before coming back to Dinamo Zagreb two years later. He retired in 2012 after 104 games and 8 goals with the Croatian team. He gained 15 caps for Croatia, scoring once.
A very versatile player, Bišćan was mostly featured as central midfielder in his early years but became mainly a centre back in his last seasons at Liverpool, being a key player during the successful 2004-05 UEFA Champions League campaign. Tall and strong, he wasn't very quick but still had a decent anticipation ability, either with the feet or the head. He was effective in front of the defenders thanks to a good positioning. He didn't possess excellent technique but was a good passer, especially when delivering long balls from the back during his seasons as defender. In his early years, he liked pushing forward and occasionally scored some goals.
