Kovacic’s opinion on Croatia and Berth. The third-place match of the FIFA World Cup 2022 is scheduled to take place on December 17 between Croatia and Morocco. Argentina defeated Zlatko Dalic’s team 3-0 in the tournament’s semifinal. Vatreni still has a game to play in Qatar even if they were unable to reach the final for the second successive edition. Meanwhile, France defeated Walid Regragui’s Morocco team in the semi-final. With a defeat of 2-0, the Atlas Lions’ illustrious World Cup run came to an end.
Before Saturday’s game, Zlatko Dalic and Mateo Kovacic met with the media. While it was frustrating that Croatia was unable to advance to the tournament’s championship game, Kovacic of Chelsea noted that their major attention is now on the task at hand, which is to defeat Morocco and win third place. The midfielder stated as follows: “What we’ve shown by being in the last four shows how we’ve worked and we deserve to be there. Of course, it’s disappointing that we weren’t able to achieve our goal of making the final. Our current goal is to place third.”
Kovacic has started each of Croatia’s six games in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Because of his knowledge and excellence, the Chelsea star is one of the initial names on the team sheet. At only 28, it is safe to assume that Kovacic, assuming he avoids injuries, has at least one more World Cup season left in him.
