Zlatko Dalic, Croatia’s coach, was logically happy after his team’s 4-1 win against Canada on behalf of the second day of Group F of the World Cup on Sunday. A success that allows the Croatians to take the lead in Group F before they face Belgium, 3rd, on Thursday in a crucial match for qualification for the round of 16.
“I would like to congratulate my team for this extraordinary matchsaid Zlatko Dalic. We played against a very strong team, they scored from the start, but we managed to turn the situation around. However, we could have scored more goals in the first fifteen minutes. I am proud, Croatia showed their strength and quality. We have taken a step, but a very good team awaits us with Belgium.“
A duel against the Red Devils, which the Croatians will start in a position of strength. With 4 points, Croatia will settle for a draw against Belgium, who will probably have to win to see the round of 16.
“We don’t draw. We must not be overwhelmed by the euphoria of this victory tonight. We are in the WC, there are no easy games. Belgium must win, but we also want to win. We must recover and offer the same quality football as tonight.“
