Kramaric focused on a Round of 16

The Hoffenheim striker, who celebrates his 27th birthday during a tournament, is in excellent form; in a final dual Vatreni games, he was one of a team’s best players.

Expectations in Croatia are always utterly high following a ancestral third place finish in 1998, though Kramaric is not gripping his mind on it. The Round of 16 is a usually categorical thoroughness for him, and for Zlatko Dalic’s side as a whole.

“This is a good generation. Our proclivity is during a high level. We wish to get to a knockout stage, and with some fitness we can grasp a good result.”

Talking about a toughest competition in Group D, a 26-year-old Croatian astounded us somewhat.

“I consider it is Nigeria. Why? Against Nigeria we play a first, and for us a many critical game,” he said. “That diversion will open or tighten a doorway of a World Cup for us! Therefore we need to request a full concentration. Argentina? We don’t need to speak about Argentina, we all know a good footballers they have. They are one of a favourites for a tournament.”
