Croatia will debut in Euro 2024, which takes place in Germany between June 14 and July 14 against Spain. And this is not an atypical confrontation, quite the opposite.
In the last eight years, fate wanted them to face each other up to five times. Two in the Euro Cup and three in the Nations League, with mixed results. For this new rivalry, Perisic will be available, having been fundamental in all of them except 2021, where he could not play due to Covid.
In 2016, in the Euro Cup, Croatia won (2-1) with a goal from Perisic, who in that match drove everyone crazy. Piqué and Juanfranas he had done in other duels with him Carvajal and Nacho and even with Sergio Roberto and Sergio Ramos. Although in the final of the last Nations League where he was the best field player on the green he played as a winger, he is expected to be a winger where he shines. The question is whether he will start or start from the bench since he has been out most of the season with a serious knee injury.
His popularity this season
The 23-24 season began with Tottenham, although he only participated in the first game, before he was seriously injured. Despite the injury he lent Hajduk Split, where he recovered throughout the campaign. On April 3rd he showed up again and since then he has been slowly accumulating minutes. In the eight moments in which he participated, he scored one goal. It should be noted that he has already started, although he has not yet completed 90 minutes.
Experience is a degree and that is why the coach included him in the list, knowing that where the legs do not reach, the head will reach. In addition to whether his left leg is physically better or worse, he has the talent to mess it up at any time regardless of the context in which he is.
