The captain of the Croatian national team Luka Modric was both cautious and confident of a good performance against Spain in the UEFA Nations League on Thursday, speaking alongside manager Zlatko Dalic at a press conference in Zagreb on Wednesday.
Modric acknowledged that his side are expecting a "very tough match" but was confident that the sold-out Maksimir stadium will give them "the additional push" to put on a good display and obtain a good result.
Dalic echoed his captain's words on the packed stadium, saying "I would use the opportunity to thank our fans who bought all the tickets. If the capacity of the stadium was three or four times bigger, it would still be full. That's amazing for us."
In their first encounter in Elche, Spain thrashed Croatia 6:0, who were playing their first match after coming in second at the 2018 World Cup.
The return match is set to be played at the Maksimir Stadium in Zagreb on Thursday, November 14. The kick off is scheduled for 20:45 local time.
