1-0 Faroe Islands! Croatian coach: We performed poorly, like playing in the top 5 teams in the world

September 6th In the 5th round of the European Group L in the World Cup, Croatia 1-0 away, and Kramalic scored the only goal in the game.

After the match, Croatian coach Dalic accepts Nova TV said in an interview: "We only remember these three points and nothing else. We expected it to be a tough game, but we didn't expect it to be so difficult. We felt like playing in the top five teams in the world, we didn't perform well, we made a lot of mistakes, and the game was disappointing. We didn't play an effective counterattack, and we didn't score a second goal. The opponents also had some opportunities, but the most important thing was that we won the game."

"There are many factors that affected the game, including the venue, the weather, etc. There were also many problems within our team, such as personnel changes and absences, which had an impact on the game. I hope there will be no such bad game again, and we need to analyze it. For a long time, we have not reached the highest level in fighting spirit, and our opponents have shown more speed and aggressiveness. Now we have to turn our attention to Montenegro and forget about this game."

For Perisic and Modric substitutes, Dalic said: "This kind of game is a time to give Fruk, Smosic and Baturina the chance. We should do some rotations in this game that can have an absolute advantage, and also give some players a rest."

"Fruk performed well, had a positive attitude, was full of vitality, and had many retreats to participate in the defense. I was very satisfied with his performance on the defensive end. As for Smosic, we were at the right back. There were many problems with Stanisic and Yulanovic. Although this is not Smosic's original position, I hope he can continue to perform well and gain a place in the competition. "

"We must score 6 points in two games against the Faroe Islands and Montenegro because we are the favorite team to advance, especially when playing at home. We must win at a full home court to make up for the regret of this performance."
