Under-fire Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic hit out at his critics on Thursday after their Euro 2024 draw with Albania, defending his team selection and complaining that he is taken for granted. Croatia are in danger of a surprise group-stage exit from the tournament after losing 3-0 to Spain and then conceding a 95th-minute equaliser to be held 2-2 by Albania on Wednesday. They will likely need to beat Italy in their final Group B match to reach the last 16 for a fifth straight major finals.
Dalic has come in for criticism back home, despite having led the team to the 2018 World Cup final, 2022 World Cup semi-finals and last year’s Nations League final in an unprecedented spell of success. “We will do everything to prepare for Italy. I have learned some things in these seven years where there have been far more successes than failures,” he told reporters.
