Croatia is a member of the Final Four of the League of Nations
Croatia head coach Zlatko Dalic commented on the upcoming match of the 1/2 finals of the League of Nations against the Netherlands.
“We are without our best defender Josko Guardiola, who was great in the last World Cup, but most of the team is here, especially Luka Modric, who is still with us. It won’t be easy, but I’m an optimist. We never give up, we always do our best and will try to win a trophy here.”
“I’m really proud of my team. We managed to reach the final of the UEFA Nations League. We did a great job in the group stage beating teams like France and Denmark, but we don’t want to stop there, we want to do more.”
“We had problems in the first two editions of the UEFA Nations League, but now we have managed to achieve a great result: we beat France and Denmark in qualifying, finished first in our group and reached the final. We want to do everything in our power. We have the qualities to do it and that’s what we want to do.”
“It is a great achievement to be among the top four teams in Europe. What we have done is already a great success, but we have come here to win a medal. We have worked hard for this and want to show it here.”
The matches of the final tournament of the League of Nations will be held in June 2023 in the Dutch cities of Rotterdam and Enschede. The semi-final between Croatia and the Netherlands will take place today, June 14th. Spain and Italy will meet tomorrow. The match for third place and the final will take place on June 18.
