Croatia's head coach Zlatko Dalić reflected on the recent UEFA Nations League draw, where Croatia was drawn alongside Portugal, Poland, and Scotland.
Head coach Dalić shared his first impressions following the UEFA Nations League draw, as Croatia awaits the encounters with Portugal, Poland, and Scotland.
"This is another major tournament after we reached last year's UEFA Nations League final. Now we have to prove our quality once again. This group is not bad, and we face Portugal for the second time in this competition. It will be a good challenge, we'll enjoy football, and our objective is to win the first or the second place in to group, in order to reach the quarterfinals. In the first two editions, the UEFA Nations League was a painful experience, but then we reached the final and now we'll try to do the same", he said.
