Slaven Bilić, coach of the Croatian national football team, expressed frustration rather than disappointment ahead of the upcoming match against Spain in the fourth round of the Nations League. Croatia has suffered heavy defeats recently, including a 1-4 loss to Spain in Seville and a 7-0 defeat by England in Rijeka, which Bilić described as the worst in Croatian history. He emphasized that these losses serve as reminders of the challenges ahead and stressed the need for maximum effort and focus against Spain, whom he called the world champions and the best team globally. Bilić noted that the players with the most energy were the oldest members of the squad, Luka Modrić, Ivan Kovačić, and Andrej Kramarić, and stated that he had not fully relied on younger players. The match against Spain will take place at Poljud Stadium on Tuesday.
