Mateo Kovacic: “We will try to impose our style of play on Brazil”
Mateo Kovacic, midfielder of the Croatian national team, shared his expectations from the 2022 World Cup 1/4 final match to be played with the Brazilian national team.
We have an important match ahead of us, which is normal for the quarter-finals of the World Cup. The opponent is strong, they play great football. We also want to prove that we play great football and advance to the semi-finals.
We still have time to analyze them and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. What we need to do now is to focus on ourselves. You need to be united and be aggressive. We are a talented team. Brazil is not very happy when the opposing team has the ball, so we will try to impose our style of play. “We will attack and try to go further,” said Kovacic.
The match between Croatia and Brazil will be played on Friday, December 9th. It starts at 17:00 Kiev time.
