The Croatian national team - stuck to the wall in the European Championship.

Zlatko Dalic's players in Group B matches against Spaniards and Albanians failed to secure victories, so they will have to fight hard against the Italians.

Croatia needs a victory and a draw or a loss for Albania against Spain.

Before the crucial match, Z. Dalic said:

"We started the championship poorly and so far have not shown our true level. We concede goals too easily. For example, at the World Championships in Qatar, our opponents scored just one goal in the group stage, and now we have already conceded five."

Ivan Perisic is not showing the form he showed in Qatar. Some players have aged two years and we have to play against strong opponents.

However, I think our main problem is the easily conceded goals."

The Italy vs. Croatia match will start at 22:00.
