Zlatko Dalich, who knew little of the world championship before the world championship, and the greatest achievement of his coaching career was the victory of Saudi Arabia Super Cup, the journalists met and applauded

– What about shots on goal? question to Dalich.

First, I congratulate France for the championship. We played well the first 20 minutes, controlled the game. But we did not have a chance to score a goal against his side. We continued to dominate, to come back to life – and then a penalty. I never comment on arbitration, but in the finals of the World Cup, such penalties are not imposed. This does not reduce the value of the victory of the French, and we are a little unlucky. Before, luck smiled on us now – no. It was our best football in the tournament. We controlled the game, but missed. It is impossible to make such mistakes. We are disappointed, but we are proud of what we have achieved

– Will you continue to work with the Croatian national team?

– Now I need a little rest. The last few months we have worked very hard. But it was great to deal with these players. I am happy to have finished the championship with the final. Now I'm going to take a timeout, I'm going to rest. Never make a decision quickly. I only think about going back to Croatia and resting.

– What was Croatia missing for the best result? And how was the match for Croatia lost?

– Today, there was not enough luck, especially with the first two goals. First – a clean goal, no threats before our door was not. Suddenly, this penalty was suddenly named, and then a penalty. After the third goal I started to think that, probably, it will be difficult to recover. Even though it was difficult for the players to find energy, they did not give up. After Mandzhukich's goal, I had hope again, but it was hard to expect such a cool opponent to score two more goals.

– Qu & # 39; did you tell the team in the circle after the match? we were depressed. I said: you can go head high. There is no reason to be disappointed, you can be proud of the way you played. "Over the head, guys!" I told them. If in advance someone said that we will take second place, we would consider this a fantastic result. But sometimes you lose in football. We must meet dignity and victory and defeat.

– "Golden Ball", which gave Luka Modric, is this a victory for you?

– We are very happy for Luka. I think he deserved the award rightly. He played a great tournament. And that is another merit of the team that helped Luka.

– You said that in the finals such penalties are not named. But the general experience with the VAR – what's it? If it was not for the VAR, there would be no penalty.

– Do not take this as if I say something wrong about the referee. I respect the judges, and this in particular. He did what he considered fair and right. As for the VAR, when this system works for you, everything is fine, when it's not bad, (smiles). But overall it is a positive experience

– Many believe that the exit of the final phase of the Croatian national team was motivated by small states. What can you tell them after your success?

– In our bus it says: "A small country is a big dream". That's our motto, and it's a good message for everyone. You must believe that it is possible. There must be a lot of coincidences, but it's a wonderful signal for small countries. It is necessary to have dreams and ambitions. And, maybe one day, they will become reality. You can never give up, as well as stop. Even when we lost 4: 1, I did not feel like I had lost. That's life, you have to take it as it is. Once again, I thank all my players for what they did. I am proud of my team, the players and the country.
