More Than Mappa | Manu Garcia and Davor

What does it really take to become a professional footballer?

In the very first episode of More Than Mappa, hosts Manu Garcia and Davor take listeners back to where it all began.

From youth football and academy life to breaking into the professional game, Manu and Davor share the highs, the lows and the sacrifices that shaped their careers. They discuss the crucial role their families played in supporting their dreams, the challenges of moving away from home, and the realities young players face when chasing a career in football.

The conversation also explores their experiences playing in Cyprus, dealing with agents, navigating the pressures of social media, handling criticism, and adapting to life both on and off the pitch.

This is an honest, insightful and often humorous look at the journey behind the footballer – the lessons learned, the mistakes made and the moments that changed everything.
