SIDE INFORMATION

- Yesterday, captain Darijo Srna was present for training with his teammates in Deauville to prepare for the match against the Czech Republic. On Monday, he and coach Ante Cacic left the team to return home to mourn his father, who died on the day Croatia defeated Türkiye.

- In order to boost his players' morale, coach Ante Cacic announced that if they beat the Czech Republic, all Croatian players will be allowed to drink freely all night. "I'm thinking about the party after the match," Cacic told 24sata, "The whole team will be drunk." This celebration probably won't cost much because, according to him, just a few bottles of beer per person is more than enough.

- The Czech Republic need to win, but first they need to shut down Luka Modric for 90 minutes. In addition to the central midfield duo, Tomas Rosicky will have a busy night, tasked with stopping the Croatian midfielders from getting on the ball and launching attacks. Rosicky played as a defensive midfielder in the opening game and will need to continue in that role.
