Zlatko Dalic has praised the chemistry that exists between him and his players.
Dalic will lead Croatia in their maiden World Cup against France and he hopes his players will reveal to him whether any one of them is unfit for the game. They deservedly won 2-1 over England in the semi-finals.
“It’s the World Cup final, the players know what that is. One thing that makes me happy is all my players tell me whether they are not 100 percent fit. We’ve created such a relationship that they will admit ‘I’m not fit, I’ll miss the final’. ,” he told a news conference.
“They know what is at stake but if they are unable to give their all, they will tell us, I expect them to do so. We did not insist on training sessions, we have nothing to practice. We need rest, relaxation, we have some minor problems and I hope we’ll overcome those today [Saturday] and all my players will be ready to play. If not, we have great players on the bench raring to go. I’m not worried.” he added.
