The Croatian team will return to the fray at the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Let’s remember that it was one of the teams that gave the surprise in Russia 2018 with Modric, Rakitic, Perisic and company… It is a veteran and consolidated team at the same time which has players who are emerging. It is a team that will come to the World Cup with a lot of work and that can surprise again, although they have had a small downturn since 2018. The star of this team is undoubtedly Luka Modric, he is the brains of this team, all the dangerous plays pass for his boots. Here we can see a Luka with more freedom, with more travel through the front of the area, with more responsibility in offensive actions… They are currently playing in the Uefa Nations League and are second in their group with seven points. France, one of the favorites for the title, has not managed to win a single game against them at the moment, in the two that they have played the results have been a draw and a narrow victory for the Croats.

LI: Juranovic: He is the side of Celtic, he signed with them in 2021 after a lifetime at Legia de Warszawa. He is a right-back with a lot of offensive incorporation, he incorporates very well from the second line.
CFD: Life: He was one of the surprises of the 2018 World Cup. A very confident player in all defensive aspects but who will come to this event with a fairly considerable drop in level compared to the previous World Cup. He will arrive at the appointment with 33 years, physically he is no longer the center-back that he was.
DFC: Erlic: He aims to be the undisputed starter in the World Cup. He has played the full 90 minutes in recent games with Croatia. He has just returned to Sassuolo after finishing his loan at Spezia and points out that he will not have a lot of minutes before the World Cup, it could take its toll on him.
LD: Vrsaljko: He is a side with a lot of offensive projection. In LaLiga he is very well known for his time at Atlético de Madrid. If the injuries respect him, he will arrive as a starter at the World Cup. He currently plays for Olympiacos in Greece.
