Zlatko Dalic commented on the defeat of Croatia against England (1: 2) in the League of Nations match.
"We played poorly in the first half. We were lucky that the teams left for a break with the score 0: 0. In the second half we acted better.. We had a few moments after a goal scored, but we missed two goals after the standards. Standard positions are part of the game, so the result is fair. ".
"Today our main problem was that we failed to fully recover from the match with Spain. We are not very large and it is difficult for us to replace five players.. In the second half, England did not create a lot of problems, but we didn’t have enough concentration for the last 15-20 minutes ".
"We can only be proud of what we have achieved this year.. Croatia is a small country and we do not have a good infrastructure to achieve excellent results.. We are the second national team in the world, so players should be proud of it ", - the press service of UEFA cites Dalic.
Croatia took the last place in the group together with Spain and England, leaving Division A.
