Čačić: "Motivated, dynamic, no nonsense approach"

In a very convincing performance, Croatia routed San Marino 10:0, the biggest win in its history. Mario Mandžukić and Nikola Kalinić scored a hat-trick each, while Pjaca, Srna, Perišić, and Rakitić all added one goal each.

"I congratulate my players, they were motivated from the very beginning. They were hungry to play together, they have been dynamic and played no nonsense football, even though the opponent wasn't so demanding. We are glad to have scored ten, and it is especially important that our strikers have scored. This was necessary to depart for France in a good mood. Any victory is significant", emphasized Croatia head coach Ante Čačić.

Mandžukić praised Croatia's supporters at Rujevica Stadium in Rijeka.

"This was a great, positive atmosphere, and that makes me happy. The fans cheered us on at every move, and it was really a joy to play. The most important thing, however, is that our approach was serious throughout the game, it is not easy to score a goal against anyone. We need to continue like this and prepare for the EURO 2016. Aware of our quality, we hope to win matches in France", he said.
