Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic labelled Brazil’s team as “scary” but states that his men are not going to be some underdogs in Friday’s quarter-final against the World Cup's choicest. Dalic’s men have been the runners-up at the 2018 World Cup, who defeated Japan on penalties on Monday to seal at least their third-best finesse at the tournament. The coach stated on Tuesday that he was proud of his squad for showing the great character and resolute mentality to come this far in Qatar, but he is alaso aware of the fact that Brazil will be a whole different nut to crack.
“It will be a different game than against anyone we have played so far because Brazil likes to play football. f we are looking at it realistically, Brazil is the best team at the tournament, they have a great choice of players, a great squad, it’s scary, so it’s a great test for us,” Dalic remarked candidly.
