On June 15, Croatian captain Luka Modrić attended a press conference discussing their opening match against Spain.
Modrić began by addressing the Spanish team, “Spain has great strength, they play with incredible pace, especially on the wings. I’m highly anticipating this match; we’ve faced them many times before, and we need to perform well in all aspects, paying attention to details. We hope to achieve a positive result in this game.”
The Croatian midfielder expressed his ambition for the championship, “I don’t care if we’re the crowd’s favorite; I just want to deliver a fantastic match and showcase our fighting spirit. I’m always confident, and my goal for this Euro is to help the Croatian team win the title.”
Modrić highlighted the importance of unity within the team, “We are very united as a squad. There are similarities to our World Cup campaign in Qatar, albeit with some new players who bring freshness. I’m glad Perišić is back. Our biggest strength is our togetherness, striving for good results together.”
Commenting on the challenging group, Modrić said, “This is a very difficult group, possibly the toughest in the entire Euro. In recent years, we’ve proven ourselves to be one of the world’s best, and I hope to prove that again in this tournament.”
