Zlatko Dalic, Croatia's national team coach, has given an interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport and talked about his selections, and who stayed home. Mario Mandzukic, for example, has said farewell to the national team: "Mandzukic's goodbye? I'm really sorry about it, he might have thought he reached the highest level and that he couldn't have done more. I respect his decision, I can't do anything else. We're losing a goal-scoring player but more importantly, a fighter, our first defender. Replacing him won't be easy, we know it. We'll have to try different options".

About Pjaca: "Marko has been fantastic since he was a child, then he had some injuries that blocked his way trough Juve. He needs time: he's found a good atmosphere at Fiorentina. I'm waiting for him because I need him. He'll develop well this season".

About Modric: "He's currently the best player in the world. He needed something more but found it during the World Cup. He's fundamental for us but I prefer talking about the group, which has been our true force in Russia".
