The penultimate bullet of ancient Croatia

Date:

After the tasteless draw against Morocco on the first day, the Balkans risk their lives against a young, brave and inexperienced Canada

The debut of the Croatian team at the World Cup in Qatar was evidence of an event that began to show itself in the last Euro Cup: talent is forever, but the years are heavy, and the new Dalmatian generations inevitably fail to reach the lofty level from men like Rakitic, Perisic or Brozovic. These last two on the list, now without Sevilla player Iván, are still led by the best player in Croatia’s young history, the inexhaustible Luka Modric, a man who, like his team’s bastions, is older than a olive tree (37) although his football continues to give out an eternal freshness.

The Real Madrid midfielder was powerless against the talented and physical Moroccan team. The physical difference was clear, Zlatko Dalic’s men were not bothered by the overcrowded and subbed defense of the North African team and the draw was a logical consequence. But the tables made them live in an open, unpredictable group F, where even Belgium doesn’t breathe easily.

At the front is young, brave and inexperienced Canada. A team that played wonderfully against the Belgians, who deserved a victory that only Courtois could avoid. On the back of the Bruggeling Tajon Buchanan (Atlético knows him well) and Alphonso Davies, a proper name of Bayern Munich, the Canadians dream of giving the clock. In addition, after his defeat on the first day, John Herdman’s men find themselves between a rock and a hard place; Croatia, no less in distress, has the penultimate bullet in the chamber to stay alive in this World Cup.
