Croatia admits they already know the loophole against England

DBasia.news – Croatia admits England are the favorites to win Euro 2020. But Vatreni will not back down because he has experience in defeating them.

Croatia started their work at the 2020 European Cup against England at Wembley, Sunday (13/6/2021) night WIB. This is the first meeting between the two teams since 2018.

Croatia and England have faced each other three times throughout 2018, with one win each and the other ending in a draw. Croatia won 2-1 in the 2018 World Cup semifinals in extra time.

They then drew 0-0 at Rijeka in the UEFA Nations League. England only managed to avenge the defeat at the 2018 World Cup with a 2-1 win at the second meeting of the UEFA Nations League in the same year.

Croatia midfielder Luka Modric called England a strong candidate to win Euro 2020, with a composition of young and experienced players. But the experience of winning a duel in an event as big as the 2018 World Cup gave Croatia confidence.

“I consider them to be a great team. For sure they are one of the favorites for this tournament. But that doesn’t mean we can’t go there to play a good game and try to get a result,” Modric said as quoted by the BBC.

“We’ve shown before that we can do it and we know how to face England. Hopefully we can show it again on Sunday,” added the Real Madrid player.
