With the staff of a team under the world champion and more players playing at very high levels, despite their age, Croatia has never been able to climb to such levels, without question one of the bitter surprises in this “Euro2020”. Dalic team has one last challenge at its disposal to avoid an indecent elimination, it faces Scotland, a match where the draw “burns” both teams, both in the quota of one point in Group D. The figures do not warm up much Dalic team, in the five encounters with Scotland have never been able to win, the last two challenges have lost both. The Croatians are aware that this is not an easy challenge but a challenge that must be won in any form: “We know that they are a strong team, they are a solid team in defense but also against England they had some good chances”, u expresses Dalic.
Ivan Perisic is in the same line with the coach: “The real Croatia has not been seen yet, we still have a lot to improve. It will not be easy against Scotland, but in the past the real Croatia has always been seen in decisive moments. We have to play without fear and I am convinced that this time we will not be disappointed. “Scotland also needs points and can not just defend, it will help us,” said Perisic. After the draw against England, the atmosphere in the ranks of the Scots is very positive, aware that now everything is possible: “It is a difficult match to read, both we and Croatia enter the field to win, most likely it will be an open match. “I hope to use the enthusiasm after the draw against England,” Steve Clarke, Scotland’s coach, told a news conference.
