Croatia boss Zlatko Dalic admits ‘Football is coming home very soon’ after England defeat
Croatia manager Zlatko Dalic was gracious in defeat against England, even admitting ‘it’s coming home very soon’.The Three Lions snatched a late victory at Wembley on Sunday afternoon in their vital Nations League clash.2

Dalic congratulated Southgate after the final whistle at Wembley

Harry Kane’s late winner means England won the group with seven points, ahead of Spain with six. Croatia were ultimately relegated.The Croatian side were agitated by the incessant chants of ‘It’s Coming Home’ during the World Cup in the build up to the semi-final in Moscow, with Luka Modric insisting the famous song acted as an incentive.However, Dalic was happy to concede Gareth Southgate’s side are closing in on silverware.“They have a young and fast team. It’s coming home, very soon,” he said.2

Kane’s goal ensured England won their Nations League group

“I think England showed already at the World Cup. They, I think, exceeded expectations. They have a really young and very fast team, which is very important in modern football.“I’d like to congratulate England on a deserved win and for qualifying for the final four of the Nations League.”Croatia looked dead on their feet at Wembley, with Dalic going on to say he felt the dramatic win over Spain earlier in the week affected his players.It was very difficult for us to recover after the match against Spain. We don’t have such a big squad,” he said. “In the last 15 minutes we lost concentration, which could be down to our condition physically.“We can only be proud of everything we’ve achieved this year. We are a small country and don’t have a great infrastructure yet we achieved a great result. We are second in the world and our players have to be proud.“We didn’t play very well in the first half. We were lucky to get into half-time at 0-0. In the second half we played better and had a few chances after scoring but we conceded from two set-pieces. Set-pieces are part of the game so it’s a fair result in the end.”
