• Coach Zlatko Dalic believes Brazil are the best team at this World Cup.
• Brazil beat South Korea 4-1, while Croatia defeated Japan on penalties.
• Dalic’s team must avoid giving them too much room and press them hard.

‘Brazil more than just Neymar and Vinicius’ says Zlatko Dalic. Prior to their quarterfinal matchup on Friday, Brazil‘s head coach Zlatko Dalic referred to his team as the most remarkable at this World Cup.

Brazil advanced with a 4-1 thrashing of South Korea, while Croatia advanced by defeating Japan on penalties in the round of 16.

According to Dalic, I think Brazil are the best team in this World Cup, They engage in a variety of football styles. Not simply because of Neymar and Vinicius Junior, they are dangerous. They are all included. We must avoid giving them too much room. In order to prevent them from controlling the ball excessively, we must press them hard. We must pay close attention since it will be challenging to stop them if they have time on the ball. Despite only having had four days to recover after the taxing battle against Japan, Dalic was certain his team would be fresh for the match at Education City stadium in this city.

We are very excited about this game, he remarked. “There won’t be many adjustments; we just need to heal from the Japan game. To get this far, we’ve done quite well. We’ll fight to ensure we can achieve the best outcome as we now take on one of the great favourites. The 56-year-old continued, “I believe the upcoming game will be the hardest of the World Cup for us. It reminds me of the championship game versus France from four years ago.

Brazil will be very difficult. I wished this match had been scheduled for later in the competition. However, we won’t be content with that, and we’ll keep working hard to prevail.
