“More respect for Croatia.” Dalic not happy with FIFA vote
Croatia Coach Zlatko Dalic was not happy with the outcome of the FIFA ceremony, where the best players in the world were determined. Of the Croatian players, only Luka Modric ranked 4th on the best final list.
Croatia finished second and third, respectively, at the 2018 World Cup and 2022 World Cup.
I want more respect from FIFA. If England, Brazil, Germany or Italy had achieved the same results as Croatia in recent years, their players would have been shortlisted for all possible prizes. I want to have more respect for the Croatian national team and for our top 3 players in two consecutive World Cups.”
“FIFA must show that teams from smaller countries can counter the strongest teams,” Dalic said. said.
