Dalic: Perhaps of our most prominent success
Croatia lead trainer Zlatko Dalic hailed his side's success over Brazil, depicting it as one of their "most noteworthy" ever.
At the point when you consider watching Brazil play at a World Cup, flying full-backs ring a bell.
That was the situation in this exemplary quarter-last however it was anything but a yellow shirt doing the flying it was Josip Juranovic of Croatia.
It was a presentation likened to those the incomparable Cafu used to create for Brazil.
The Celtic player was a man had on this incredible stage, offering his side a going after outlet while likewise containing Brazil's variety of ability when they wandered into his region.
He provided Brazil with a sample of what was to come on 13 minutes while rushing clear down the right and giving a quality cross which was not capitalized on by Ivan Perisic.

We got to see the full collection of one of this time's most prominent midfield maestros, in a game that was generally settled by the willfulness of Croatia's center third.
Modric, Mateo Kovacic and Marcelo Brozovic managed everything, inactively. They invalidated Brazil's typical dangers. They upset and disturbed Brazil's musicality.
Also, they typified Croatia's upright approach. Casemiro was scarcely in it.
