Dalic: English press didn't respect Croatia at World Cup

Ahead of Friday's Nations League fixture, the coach once more took aim at the media, while revealing mixed thoughts on the Nations League

Croatia head coach Zlatko Dalic feels the English media did not respect his side at the World Cup as the two nations prepare to go head-to-head in a rematch of their Russia 2018 semi-final.

Dalic's Croatia and Gareth Southgate's England will meet in a behind-closed-doors Nations League fixture in Rijeka on Friday.

It will be the first time the two countries have clashed since Croatia overcame England after extra-time in the World Cup semi-final in July.
