Head coach of Croatia, Zlatko Dalic, has said his team wasn’t lucky to have been drawn alongside Nigeria at the FIFA World Cup draw in Moscow on Friday.
According to reports, said he had been following the Nigerian team because of the young and fantastic players paraded by the Super Eagles.
“All of their players are in Europe and they are very unpredictable to play against. It is our first game and it will be difficult for us to play against your team.
“We now know our opponents and we must go and start work immediately.
“We have to go and look for video tapes of the games of all our opponents but I know it’s not going to be easy to play these teams, especially Nigeria.”
The Super Eagles will play Croatia in their first Group D match before facing Iceland and Argentina.
