Miroslav Ciro Blazevic - who has Portsmouth star Asmir Begovic in his squad - said: "I take two of my players and tell them, 'Love him! Kiss him!' and he kisses him."

He claimed the unorthodox morale-boosting exercise has already proven successful: Mr Blazevic has taken the squad further than ever before in the World Cup.


"The secret of my success is in a unity of a squad. You can't do anything without an atmosphere in a team," he explained."They I tell them they have to kiss each other straight to the lips," the coach wrote in his column in Croatian news website net.hr.

His revelation came after Vincenzo Santoruvo, the Italian striker, amazed fans by planting a kiss on a team mate's lips after scoring for Serie B club Frosinone.
