France – Croatia 4-2 (2-1) MOSKVA / TRONDHEIM: Lovren and Luka Modric were both convinced that Croatia were the best in the World Cup finals.
However, there was a 4-2 loss for France in Moscow. After the match, the Croatian team was disappointed to meet the press
– At the moment, I have mixed feelings to be honest. We lost even though we played much better football, fans enter the press area after the game.
– At the same time, I am proud of what we have accomplished. We are the number two in the world. I am proud of the group and the team. It's a little hard to describe, but maybe I'll feel different in a few weeks or a few months. At the moment it is difficult. I am a little happy, sad and proud, he continues.
The Liverpool midfielder is part of the Croatian surprise team, who had some expectations before the championship. However, expectations do not go as far as the final in Moscow, but perhaps an advancement of the group.
– Do not understand
But in the final France has become too hard. Nevertheless, Croatia feels bad, especially for the polemical hand inflicted on Ivan Perisic after 33 minutes. The attacking weapon had just scored 1-1 with a cannonball when the ball hit Perisic's hand.
Judge Néstor Pitana had to check the video. The penalty was a penalty and Antoine Griezmann set 2-1. The decision was discussed several times after the final.
– I was absolutely sure that it would not be punished. From his point of view, he (Perisic) could not react differently. This is not possible it is too close. It was a critical moment in the match as we had just returned and got 1-1, "said Lovren.
The law also received a penalty against the hands in their 2-1 win over Iceland in the group match.This is much more.
– No one understands the rules.I understand that I will punish against Iceland, but we do not understand this one. He was unable to react, I do not understand how he could punish, says Lovren, said Lovren at Aftenposten
– Also, it was not a free kick before 1-0
– The rules must be clear because sometimes it's the punishment and sometimes no.I do not understand.It all depends on the judge.Many say it's not a punishment, but it made that decision.It can not be changed.
Luka Modric was named the tournament's best player, but got his dream of a perfect spoiled evening. Also, France was lucky with another decision in the match when Griezmann was caught by Marcelo Brozovic outside the 16-meter after 18 minutes. The free kick ended with a goal on Mario Mandzukic's head
– I did not see the situation, but everyone said it was not a punishment. This was not intentionally. I can not say more, but it is there that the match has rocked. We dominated and he (the judge) gave this penalty. I do not think either that there was a free kick before their 1-0 goal, "said Modric at Aftenposten
– In a World Cup final, you do not judge punishment here [19659008] – But I do not like to talk about judges.
The boss of the Croatian national team was also frustrated
– I never comment on the judgments, but in the finals of the World Cup, I do not judge such a penalty, says Zlatko Dalic [19659021]. Pogba and Kylian Mbappé scored two big quick goals away and punctured in training match when they played 65 minutes. Mandzukic got a hand from French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris who stumbled and gave 4-2 with a fine missed ten meters from his own goal, but he played a small role. France won 4-2.
Became the best player of the tournament
– We played a good football but we lost. It is hard to find the words now, but I think we should be proud of the way we played today and really the whole tournament. We could not do more. I'm not disappointed, I'm sadder. As time goes by, we will achieve what we did, says Modric
– It may sound silly when you lose, but I think we were better. Then there are moments in the game that determine and there should be more margins, he says.
The elegant Real Madrid midfielder profile was voted best player of the tournament. He lied he said it did not mean anything
– Of course it was good, but I would win of course the World Cup. Nevertheless, it is a nice reminder of all that I have done in the World Cup and I would like to thank everyone who voted for me, "says Modric.
Pitana J. did not talk about the criminal situation
