Croatia【Qatar World Cup:Full Explanation】

・As in Russia, where they finished runner-up, Croatia’s midfield, with Modric and Brozovic still alive and well, was world class, and no worries: at EURO 2020, Croatia was basically “Tactical Modric” relying on the ballon d’Or from the build-up to the finish of attacks.

・While his contemporaries are retiring from the national team one after another, Modric, whose maturity has increased with age, is now a “Superman” but he will be 37 years old when the World Cup in Qatar begins. But he will be 37 years old when the World Cup in Qatar begins, and the most urgent task is to ease his burden.

・The Qatar World Cup will likely be Modric’s last big tournament. He will be taking on the challenge with all his heart and soul in order to leave his younger teammates with no regrets.

・”Croatian Ironman”

・“The Resistor” was named Serie A’s best midfielder for the second consecutive season. He is a “resistor”, the most successful midfielder in the Serie A. He is able to use both feet with equal ease to create attacks from the bottom of the midfield with his highly successful long and short passes. He is also a great player who sometimes puts a powerful mid-range shot into the net from long range.

・He has inexhaustible stamina and covers large areas throughout the 90 minutes. As a risk manager, he compensates for his speed with precise positioning, and his ability to win the ball with skillful sliding and tucks is masterful. Even when surrounded by opponents, he avoids them with brilliant ball control and is seldom robbed.

・”Cutting edge on the left side”

・At 33 years of age, he is still a side attacker with no signs of slowing down. He is a player of great athleticism, constantly going up and down the left side of the field. He is a quick and agile dribbler who can break through one-on-one situations, and he is also a decisive player with his accurate crosses from both feet.

・He has also shown his true value on the big stage, scoring goals in the semi-finals and final of the World Cup in Russia. His hard work in both offense and defense is also attractive.

・”Modric’s successor”

・He is a “Press breaker” who can dribble vertically without difficulty even when surrounded by multiple players in the midfield. He has a high level of basic skills and the ability to develop and create chances. He uses his outstanding propulsive power to break out of situations with his individual skills, and his through passes that lead directly to goals are a threat in themselves.

・A hard worker with a strong defensive mindset, he aggressively crushes his opponents with his sprinting ability and bold defending that lasts throughout the 90 minutes. Once he collects the ball, he immediately switches to attack and is active in both offense and defense.

・”Modern Worker”

・He is an attacking multirole who appears in front of the goal with a divine presence and scores muddy goals. As a shadow striker, he adds quality to the breakdown in the second row and approaches the goal with a unique style of play.

・He can also play as a volante, and after building a simple pass in the midfield, he can enter the front line at the right moment to shoot. He also has a strong heading shot.

・”Croatia’s Greatest”

・A versatile CB who has the ability required of a modern defender at a high level at the age of 20 and is being watched with great enthusiasm by mega clubs, he covers a wide area with his explosiveness and good decision making, and is also great against the opposition with his skillful tackling.

・He made his breakthrough last season with Leipzig. He made 47 successful tackles, the second most on the team, and 51 interceptions, the first on the team, as he adapted to the Bundesliga at the young age of 20. There is no doubt that he is Croatia’s next generation of defensive leaders.

・He is also an attacker, and although he is a lefty, his build-up is long and short and of high quality, using his right foot with great dexterity.
