Ivana was a hit in Qatar in 2022 for her provocative outfits: “I don’t have relationships with the players, but the Croatian football federation treats me badly. Fifa on the other hand…”
Ivana tries again. From influencer to deejay, with a stage name: Knolldoll, the portmanteau of the surname (Knoll) and a word that in English means Doll. Do you remember her? She is the Croatian fan who destabilized Qatar during the World Cup month with her provocative outfits. Well: after that experience he continued to follow Croatia in major events. She went to Germany for the European Championship and is following the World Cup in America, where she also lives. Plus she launched herself into the musical world. And at 33 he played his song, We are people, at the Los Angeles fan festival in front of 40,000 people. It was quite successful, they say.
Ivana, how did your new career come about?
“In 2023 I decided to try something different. I felt an artistic streak and discovered I could make good music. Techno, house. I’m on tour right now and I’ll be touring with my new track all over the United States.”
However, he continues to follow Croatia.
“Of course. I don’t miss a match. It’s the third World Cup I’ve followed live. And this is even more convenient, since I live in Miami.”
Four years ago she made headlines for her bikinis. Do you continue to wear them?
“They’re not bikinis, please. They’re sports, stadium tops.”
Ok, keep wearing them?
“Sure. I like them, is there something wrong?”
No judgement, just to know. Where can Croatia go?
“Let’s see. Against England we played a good first half but we did badly in the second. Now there are 6 points left, let’s think about taking them to get through the first round.”
“Then we’ll see. It’s been said for years that our team is old, but we never give up. We certainly don’t lack the quality to move forward.”
Modric perhaps will leave Milan. What do you think?
“I think Luka deserves to end his career in the way that makes him happiest. But I don’t know what he has in mind, nor do I allow myself to give him advice.”
Does he have no relationship with the team? Gamers also look at social media.
“No relationship. I’m just a fan, I want to clarify that. Even though the Croatian federation never liked me. They didn’t treat me well.”
FIFA, on the other hand, likes it: they paid her to go on stage and play.
“And it was beautiful, exciting. But everything seems normal to me: I was hired for a show and I accepted the offer. If you call Ricky Martin, won’t you pay him?”.
