Bilic: Facing Spain Remains Croatia’s Toughest Challenge
Slaven Bilić, the head coach of the Croatia national team, shared his thoughts ahead of their upcoming UEFA Nations League clash against Spain. The match is set for September 29, with kickoff at 18:45 UTC.
“When you compete at the highest level, both individually and as a team, you can challenge Spain. There are aspects we can leverage to our advantage. But one thing is certain: to match them, we must perform at our absolute best. We don’t need a miracle; we need belief and quality.
This will be Spain’s first home game since their World Cup triumph. I have no doubt it will be a special occasion, but it won’t be a mere exhibition. From our side, we won’t place too much emphasis on their celebrations. There is no tougher task than facing the best in the world in a competitive match,” the coach stated, as reported by UEFA’s official website.
