Croatian manager Zlatko Dalic insists that his players have not been out of breath despite Extensions and penalties to beat Russia, having had to take the same tiring route to defeat Denmark in their previous match.
The Croats only have four days to prepare for Wednesday's semifinal against England, but Dalic does not fear that fatigue is a factor for his players in Moscow.
"Of course, there is still power for the English," he said at a post-game press conference.
"We do not want to stop, we will try to play our best game. We have two games to play and we are very motivated."
"We give everything we can, it will be a battle again, but I trust in ourselves, I trust in ourselves."
Dalic admired how England managed their business in 2-0 success on the Swedes.
"England passed Sweden, they scored twice and were better, they have a young team, alive and attacking."
"But there are no favorites in this World Cup – every game is 50-50 and you have to fight, the big teams are at home. "
" Those who work hard, are compact, united, well organized, they are here in Russia. Luka Modric suggested that there was "maybe a little more pressure on England" but, while the Southgate team is one of the youngest of the tournament, it will be a last. Modric himself at age 32
