Croatian coach Zlatko Dalic, He saw the keys to the defeat against Spain (3-0) this Saturday in the Euro Cup “there was a lot of distance” between his players and they gave “time and space to Nico Williams, Lamine Yamal and Morata.”
“In the first fifteen minutes we had a good period of control and possession. We were then punished by deep balls to Morata. The first is a cheap goal,” he explained.
Dalic insisted that Croatia “made mistakes that destroyed” their “confidence level” and remarked that “Spain played with more courage.” “We suffered in the first fifteen minutes. Then we were good at scoring goals,” he said.
The Balkan coach He argued that they had “a lot of problems” defensively that “so far” they have not and hope that “it is a bad day.”
“We’re not going to destroy everything now after doing so many things right. We know what we are dealing with. “There are two more games before the end of the group stage,” he added.
Asked about Modric and Kovacic substitutionsinsisting that they “played for an hour” and did not want to “push them to the end”, thinking of the next clash with Albania.
Dalic apologized for his team’s defeat in front of the huge Croatian fans who filled the stands of the Olympic Stadium in Berlin: “There was a wonderful atmosphere. I don’t know how many Croatians there were. “I apologize for the loss to them.”
