The star of the Croatian national team, Luka Modrić, believes that his team will defeat Mexico and advance to the World Cup quarterfinals.
Today, it is crucial for the Croats to win against the Mexicans, otherwise they will be eliminated from the tournament. According to L. Modrić, Guillermo Ochoa, who had an excellent match against Brazil, will be neutralized.
"Mexico has many fans in Brazil, but that is not their advantage or a major obstacle for us," said the Real Madrid defender. "We will try to disappoint them."
"Mexico is a great team that has shown high-level football. They play aggressively, but we are a better team and have better individual players than they do.
"Ochoa did a great job guarding the goal against Brazil, but with all due respect to him, Mario Mandžukić has scored against better goalkeepers," Modrić concluded.
