Croatia forwards Bruno Petkovic and Marko Livaja said the team thrives on being considered underdogs and warned on Saturday that the 2018 World Cup runners-up have what it takes to reach the final again.
Coach Zlatko Dalic's side were surprise finalists in Russia and lost 4-2 to France but few have predicted the ageing team, led by 37-year-old talisman Luka Modric, will do as well in Qatar."We just need to take it step by step. At the end of the tournament, we will see who was right."
Petkovic and Livaja will be playing at their first World Cup but they welcomed the challenge of representing the national team ahead of Wednesday's Group F opener against Morocco. "It's a different feeling to the Euros which were held during the COVID-19 pandemic. The World Cup is an even bigger competition so we're all very excited," Petkovic said.
