Croatia mourns Zlato’s exit after seven-goal match
The historic match that Croatia lost to England with a score of seven-nil dealt a severe shock to the country's sports scene, marking the toughest defeat in the national team's history since its independence. The loss raised many questions about the team's future, especially following the departure of coach Zlatko Dalić, who led the team for nine years and achieved exceptional accomplishments, including a second-place finish at the 2018 World Cup and third place at the 2022 World Cup. As a result of the defeat, coach Slaven Bilić faced harsh criticism, with media outlets pointing to a complete tactical collapse of the team, expressing a sense of absence of the leadership that Zlatko previously provided. Zlatko has now moved on to coach the UAE national team. Captain Luka Modrić expressed feelings of shock and shame after the match, considering what happened to be the greatest damage to the team's reputation, raising questions about the value of the stability built by Dalić and the impact of his departure on Croatia's football future.
