The head coach of the Croatian national team, Zlatko Dalic, commented on the narrow defeat against Scotland (0:1) in the 5th round of the Nations League group stage. His words are cited by the official UEFA website.

“We played very well, especially in the first half. We controlled the game, possessed the ball – we did everything we prepared for, but when we were in the minority, it became extremely difficult for us.

I want to congratulate Scotland, they were a tough opponent. They pressed hard and we conceded a goal at the end, but I have to be satisfied with the performance of our players.

In the next match, we will play against one of the best teams in Europe, but we need a victory,” Dalic said.

In the final match of the group round of the League of Nations, the Croatian national team will host Portugal. The game will take place on November 18, at 21:45 Kyiv time.
