In one part of the interview for Dnevnik Nove TV, he also touched on Italy's elimination, which, we remind you, was knocked out by Bosnia and Herzegovina in Zenica, with a score of 4:1 after penalties. Asked to comment on projections that Croatia will finish between 10th and 12th place, and that reaching the quarterfinals of the World Cup would be above expectations, Dalić emphasized that he will not allow pressure on himself or the players. "We have done fantastic things at two World Cups. Look at Italy, they are not going to their third World Cup, and they are much bigger than us," stated the Croatian coach. When asked how it is possible that the Italians will not play in the final tournament for the third World Cup, Dalić responded. "I don't know how that is possible. Against us, they scored in the 98th minute for a 1:1 draw at the European Championship (which caused Croatia to be eliminated from the Euros, ed.). Something comes back around, not everything always goes as it should," Dalić conveyed.
