"I would not say that there are weaknesses (in England's game), they are in the semifinals" and speaking directly to the English reporters: "You did not expect to find us there, but we deserve to be there. "
Like all the semi-finalists, Dalic, although he is insensitive to pressure, knows what is going on at home. "We are a small country, it is important to show ourselves on a global scale.Before the World Cup-1998 (semifinal), few people knew Croatia, it was good for the promotion of our new independent country. Everything that happens in Croatia, with our results, is crazy People celebrate our success in the street, that means a lot. "
