Croatia head coach Zlatko Dalic said on Tuesday that the current generation of the country's players has been underestimated with his team reaching the semi-finals.
Croatia beat Russia on penalties in Sochi on Saturday to book a spot in the World Cup semi-finals, where they will face England in Moscow on Wednesday.
"I think, the current generation of Croatian players has been underestimated. Croatia are remembered as a team who earned third place in 1998 [the 1998 World Cup in France]. Our players are at the strongest clubs, Real [Madrid], Barcelona, and show their best in Russia," Dalic told journalists.
