Croatian publication “jutarnji” makes such noisy headlines, but there is meant playing style not high-class. According to this web-site Slaven Bilic head coach of Croatian National Team plays with 4-2-3-1 scheme in this match and the most attention will be paid for midfield.
After the training it can be said that Vedran Runje will protect Croatian goal, Dario Srna (to the right) and Ivan Strinic (to the left) will play in defensive wings, Vedran Corluka and Iosip Shimunic will play as midfielders. Why Strinic and not Daniel Pranic? Defender of ‘Dnipro” is in better condition that Strinic of “Bayern” Munich, who did not make big impression during Bundesliga matches.
It is noteworthy that Vukojevic does not participate in this match, since Kovac has finished his career he is always in the main staff as a centre forward.
Instead of him Nick Ielavic will be centre forward according to Croatian publication. Ielavic held good matches in “Glasgow Rangers”, what cannot be said about Nikola Kalinin of “Blackbern”. There are three forwards in the main staff and one of them is left-handed Malden Petric (to the right).
Nick Kranac who scored 4 goals in the current qualifying round of European Championship will attack to the left wing. Kranjcar is not distinguished in “Totenham” but he plays well for National Team.
All these are suppositions and index.hr spreads the following possible main staff:
Runje– Srna, Corluka, Simunic, Strinic – Vukojevic, Rakitic – Petric, Modric, Kranjcar – Kalinic.
