Euro 2024, Dalic swaggering with Italy

Dalic does not give up

Zlatko Dalic does not raise the white flag; his Croatia, too, has scraped together only one point after two matches. "Everything è still in our hands. The victory against Italy will take us forward in the competition" assured the white-and-red helmsman at the end of the match drawn with Albania.

"It’ was a very tough match, with two very different halves – he added -. In the second one we gave everything to take the lead, then we conceded a goal in the recovery minutes. The second half è encouraging, in the first one we were very bad, we couldn". 

"We wanted to attack more" on the flanks with Perisic and Juranovic. In the first half we changed the game little, with Gvardiol we were looking for balance, and with Petkovic we wanted to keep possession of the ball. We did not succeed. In the first half we were slow and cumbersome, we could not get past them. In the second we fielded faster players and è it went better" he concluded.
