“Mbappe will give Vida and Lovren cardiac arrest”-fans react to Croatia 26-man squad for the FIFA World Cup

“Mbappe will give Vida and Lovren cardiac arrest”-fans react to Croatia 26-man squad for the FIFA World Cup

The Croatian team lineup before a match.

Croatia has revealed their squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar a few days ago and the fans are absolutely going mad with some of the decisions and selections the manager has made. Coach Zlatko Dalić has selected a very old squad and has made a gamble by choosing experience over accuracy and speed.

The Croatian fans have questioned Dalić’s decisions on why he has included the old centre-back duo of Domajog Vida and Dejan Lovren in the squad. Domajog Vida is currently 33 years old and plays for the Greek side AEK Athens and is nowhere near his prime, same goes for Lovren who plays for the Russian side Zenit Saint Petersburg and is coming to the end of his illustrious career.

The World Cup is the biggest stage in world football and there will have the top nations come up against one another and there is absolutely no scope for mistakes and retaliation. The fans feel when this centre-back duo will come up against pacy attackers such as Mbappe, Sane, Vinicius Jr., and so on, they will not be able to come up with the answers.
