"I can never agree with the miracle phrase.

Croatian striker Mario Manuccić (32 years old, Juventus) found his strength in the World Cup final Russian rally in Toukon.Although the objective indicator is lower than the opponent, he explains that he overcame the difficulty with the will of victory and concentration.In fact, the Croatian finals are an incredible result in themselves

There is an entry of less than once AC Milan striker Nikola Khalinicchi was expelled early The 17, Group D Group 1 in the first leg Nigeria, Calinicu refused to direct late substitution of the coach.The pain was caused by back pain, but it was fatal.The Croatian Football Association lost Kaliningi two days later.

The burden was also important, and from the 16th round each game was extended. The finals, as well as Russia and the quarter-finals, pbaded the 120-minute pbad. England and the quarter-finals were also extended by 120 minutes. It was 90 minutes more than France, who finished the final in the quarterfinals and four laps in 90 minutes. In other words, I played one more game. Croatia is the first to reach the final after three World Cup games in overtime. France has less time to recover from the final round (0h00 le 16) compared to France.

What is the context of the small Croatian country of 4.6 million people in the Balkans? There are two main types. First of all, patriotism is extraordinary because of the experience of the devastating war. As a result of the Yugoslav civil war that erupted in 1991, many members of the team lived as refugees when they were children. Bosnian defender Dejan Lobren has moved to Germany and Croatia, while playmaker Luca Modric (33, Real Madrid) has grown up as a border post.

Those who have saved the value of their country since childhood are proud to be the "representative" of Croatia. This is not limited to football. Croatia has inherited the policies of the Yugoslav federation, which has promoted sport at the national level and developed "sports patriots" in various sports.

In terms of the competitiveness of football, "a solid midfield" is the key to competitiveness. It's the best team in terms of performance and experience. Ivan Lakitic (30 years old, Barcelona) Duo, who has won several times in his team, led the movement retaining his color despite meeting someone. Croatian coach Zlatko Kodalic (52), who accomplished the perfect midfielder tactic, played a variety of formations, including 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2, 4-1 -4-1, It started.

The slogan of Croatia is "Small country, big dreams". We added patriotism and the power to play to end the game. Six of the top 10 players in this tournament are Croatia. In the 604th minute, Morrichel finished in the top 1, Robren (560 minutes, second place), Rakitić (549 minutes, fifth place), Ivan Perichechi (542 minutes, sixth place), Daniel Subashic, (More than 540 minutes, seventh place joint). Percy Cicchi was No. 1 in 78 sprints, while Marcello Brosovic (26, Inter Milan) ran 16.4 km in England, which had a poor performance. "I did not want any of the players who played 120 minutes in the previous two games to replace him.When asked if they were tired, they all said," That's it. "
