The Croatian press denounces the national team: “The Argentinians are preparing something rotten”

A World Cup semi-final is always a very tense game, a situation that can be aggravated by the background of the last game, by the provocations of the Dutch and by the reactions of the Argentina national team players. The Croatian press gave very strong information against Scaloni’s menwhich can generate discomfort in that country’s fans and obviously in its footballers, if they believe the information.

The data was published by that country’s sports newspaper Sportske. The title of the note: “The Argentines are preparing something rotten for us! Three of the firefighters (players) on target. Dalic also discovered everything”. On the flyer: “Dirty floor”.

The article states that the Croatian coach discovered that a national team player spoke via video conference with his club mates, and that he told them a plan to upset Croatian footballers in 60 minutes.

The site ensures: “Writing that the Argentines know how to use dirt in the match would not be a bomb, given that many who have faced them for decades in the World Cup have testified, but on the eve of the semifinals, scandalous news arrives about their preparation for Croatia and the methods they intend to use“.

And he continues: “An Argentine player, according to what we were told, admitted to his team-mates at his European club that they were entrusted with the task of provoking and giving instructions on how to make the Croatians lose pace. (… ) He expressed his belief that he will drive the Croatians crazy, that they will overcome and defeat them in 60 minutes.

“We can’t say exactly what they intend to do, but we know how someone behaves when they want to annoy the opponent and influence him to start making mistakes, arguing, drawing cards. This is a tactic that we have already seen against Argentina in the match against “Holland, in a high-voltage game, and then they haven’t stood out for their behavior. They’re also not afraid to do what they think will help them succeed,” the article states.

“Argentinians think that our people, especially some of them, have weak nerves, that they won’t be able to hold their heads when they are trampled, cursed, pulled like ‘I slept with your wife’, pinched and things like that. According to that player’s expectations, someone will be sent off in an hour at the most. There were three Argentinian players who would receive special instructions on how to provoke the three Croatian players who they consider to be the team’s weakest links in this matter.” states the newspaper article.

The newspaper also assures that Dalic knows who the footballer was. “Argentinians forget that Croatians are involved everywhere and that they find out quickly. Although, even if we hadn’t listened to what we were told, we would have known that we had to be careful with Argentina in this matter,” said Sportske . .
