– At the previous stage of the World Cup , you played with Russia in a draw (2: 2) and won only on penalties. This time, you managed to immediately beat the opponent (2: 1) …
– Yes, psychologically we were a little easier today than in the match against Russia because this time we've done it. Penalty is a matter of concentration and technical preparation, but at the same time, there is an element of luck. So, in my opinion, we were very lucky that we do not have to draw a penalty today.
– For the third time, have the nerves not kept up?
– We in the previous match with Russia no penalty was already sought (laughs). But it happened. We did our best to win on a regular basis – it did not work. Then they tried to score the winning goal in
– The fact that the last match will take place at Luzhniki stadium can also be considered a success for you?
– Yes, I really hope that the Luzhniki stadium will become for us a successful arena.
Right now, this stadium has brought us victory, but we can finally ensure its "luck" only after the last game. True, I do not know if France is not yet familiar with this stage?
– The French played here in a draw with Denmark (0-0) in the group stage and were booed by the spectators for a boring game. Well, let's see how they remember this arena
– In general, what are your impressions of Russia?
– Oh … this world championship was magnificent (Badel said in the past time, apparently feeling the fast end of the tournament.)
Infrastructure, organization and everything was at the highest level. However, I will not say that I was surprised by this fact, because I know what the Russians are capable of.
In general, everyone is organized at the upper level
– Maybe you liked one city more than others?
– No, I will not say it (laughs). I am a football player and I only see stadiums and airports. Unfortunately, there is nothing for the moment.

– I do not even know what to say now, just after such victory. We feel incredibly proud and happy. I can not believe it.
There are a lot of messages from Croatia with congratulations, but we, the players, still do not understand what's going on. Maybe tomorrow, after a good sleep, we will achieve our feat
Our team has shown character and made a comeback, conceding the first … I am very happy to be part of this Croatian team [19659002] – What allowed you?
– We just want to show how good our country is. We have a big heart, and that is felt on the ground. Croats are still characterized by an inflexible character
– Do you already think about the final and the resistance to France?
– I have not thought about it yet, but we will soon begin to prepare. The coaching staff will do some badysis work, and we will know everything about the rival. Until now, we had not even thought in advance, we had not thought of the final because we prefer to go from one game to the next. ;other. I think this is the best way to advance in the tournament
– In the match against England, you could have played a series of penalties for the third time in a row.
– Yes, we knew that we will reach the penalty shootout, we will be more confident because we have won the last two games in this way.
However, of course, we did not want to enter this lottery. The main desire was to win before the final whistle. I'm glad we've made some progress (laughs).
– The World Cup is coming to an end. What impressions would you have of Russia?
– I liked the excellent organization of the tournament.
I am very proud to be here and to see how everything is arranged in Russia. I think that not all countries are able to organize everything as well as you.
