Winger of Bavaria Arjen Robben is confident that his former teammate Mario Manjukic can lead Croatia in the finals of the 2018 World Cup.

Croatia reached the final of the 2018 World Cup, where it will play against France. Arjen Robben is sure that an important role can play an attacker "checkered" Mandzhukic.

"Mario Manjukic is a great guy. I can not praise him, because for me he is a model. This is a fighter. Always want to have such a guy in your team, and not play against him, "- said Robben.

"Perhaps this is not the most technically gifted player, but he has good functionality and he scores important goals".

"Mario is always at a level when you need it. So it was with Bayern Munich in the final of the Champions League, with Juventus in last year's finals, and now he is with Croatia ".

"Manjukic is a player you can rely on, and this is the most important at the highest level in football. When you want to achieve something, you must be on the level - this is what Mario does. I treat him with great respect ".

The final match will be held on July 15.
