Former Manchester City defender Vedran Corluka says its time for the Croatia’s squad to step up in the next month’s World Cup.Croatia have made group stage exits in their last three appearances at the tournament, where they won just two of their nine matches.Their best performance came when they surprised the football world by reaching the semi-finals in 1998.
“We are tired of being billed as a talented generation which keeps flattering to deceive.We let ourselves and our fans down in every World Cup since the 1998 tournament, especially the last one.We have to focus on our strengths and use the good atmosphere in the dressing room as a platform.”Corluka said.
