Dragi prijatelji nogometa, u ime Hrvatskog nogometnog saveza želim vam dobrodošlicu u Osijek i na stadion Gradski vrt uoči otvaranja nove sezone Uefine Lige nacija u kojem će snage odmjeriti reprezentacije Hrvatske i Austrije.

Nakon više od pola godine, Vatreni nam se vraćaju natjecateljskim utakmicama. Liga nacija prvenstveno će poslužiti kao odlična priprema izborniku Daliću, njegovom stožeru i igračima za FIFA Svjetsko prvenstvo u Kataru, no kao svjetski doprvaci ulazimo u ovo natjecanje s ambicijom osvajanja barem trećeg mjesta u skupini koje bi nam osiguralo ostanak u Ligi A, što je razred kojem hrvatska reprezentacija svojom kvalitetom i renomeom sigurno pripada. Čestitam brojnim našim igračima koji su dali značajne doprinose svojim klubovima u osvajanju domaćih trofeja, a u slučaju Kristijana Jakića i Europske lige. Što tek reći o Luki Modriću koji je ponovno oduševio cijeli nogometni svijet predvodivši Real do naslova prvaka Španjolske i novog finala Lige prvaka osim - bravo Maestro! Svi ti uspjesi i klasa naših igrača daju nam puno razloga za optimizam uoči Lige nacija, a posebno Svjetskog prvenstva.

Raduje nas ponovni dolazak u Osijek i Slavoniju, gdje reprezentacija uvijek ima glasnu, strastvenu i brojnu podršku. Ne možemo znati do kada će njegova magija trajati, ali svjesni smo da ni Luka Modrić neće moći vječno igrati - stoga je svaka prilika za uživanje u kapetanovim potezima dragocjena te sam siguran da će osječka publika još jednom pokazati ljubav, zahvalnost i poštovanje koje svaki hrvatski navijač ima prema Luki, njegovim uspjesima i svemu što je ostvario s Hrvatskom.

Ako je ovo posljednja utakmica koju će Hrvatska odigrati na Gradskom vrtu, priželjkujemo rastanak s novom pobjedom na stadionu gdje Vatreni ne znaju za poraz. Bez obzira na emocije i povijest Gradskog vrta, vjerujem da svi s uzbuđenjem iščekujemo završetak projekta Pampas gdje niče krasan stadion na ponos NK Osijek, cijelog grada i regije, ali i hrvatskog nogometa.

Dobrodošli Welcome

Should this be the last Croatia's match at the Gradski Vrt Stadium, we desire to say farewell with another victory, considering the fact that Croatia has never lost a match here.

Igračima, stručnom stožeru, službenoj delegaciji i navijačima Austrije želim dobrodošlicu i ugodan boravak u Osijeku i našoj prekrasnoj slavonskoj regiji.

Uživajmo u velikom sportskom nadmetanju!

Sretno Hrvatska!

Marijan Kustić, predsjednik Hrvatskog nogometnog saveza

order to remain in the UEFA Nations League top-tier competition. Due to its quality and renown, Croatia deserves to be here.

I would like to congratulate Croatia internationals who have greatly contributed to winning domestic trophies in their respective clubs, as well as Kristijan Jakić who won the Europa League. Furthermore, what can we say about Luka Modrić, who stirred up the world of football yet again, leading Real Madrid to the league trophy in Spain, and to another Champions League final? Bravo, Maestro! Our players' success, and their masterclass, provide the reasons for optimism as we await the UEFA Nations League, and especially the FIFA World Cup. We are happy to return to Osijek, Slavonia, where the national team always enjoys a loud, passionate support from numerous fans. We do not know how long his magic is going to last, but we are aware that not even Luka Modrić can play forever - therefore, every opportunity to enjoy our captain's skills is valuable, and I believe that the Osijek crowd will continue to show the love, gratitude, and respect that every Croatia supporter feels towards Luka, his achievements, and everything he has done in Croatia shirt.

Dear friends of football, on behalf of the Croatian Football Federation, I welcome you to Osijek, to the Gradski Vrt Stadium, on the eve of the opening game of the new UEFA Nations League season, with Croatia facing Austria.

Half a year we have waited for Croatia's return to competitive matches. First and foremost, UEFA Nations League will prepare head coach Dalić, his staff, and the players for the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Qatar, but as the World Cup runners-up we have to aim at least to secure the third position in our group, in

Should this be the last Croatia's match at the Gradski Vrt Stadium, we desire to say farewell with another victory, considering the fact that Croatia has never lost a match here. Regardless of its history and the emotions at the Gradski Vrt Stadium, I believe we are all excited to see the project Pampas completed, and the beautiful new stadium to become the pride of NK Osijek, the pride of this city and this region, and the pride of the entire Croatian football.

To Austria's players, coaching staff, the official delegation, and the supporters, I wish a warm welcome and a pleasant stay in Osijek, and our magnificent Slavonia region. Let us enjoy this great sporting event!

Good luck Croatia!

Marijan Kustić, President of the Croatian Football Federation

MARIO MANDŽUKIĆ, NOVI ČLAN STRUČNOG STOŽERA VATRENIH

PRILIKU TREBA ISKORISTITI U KATARU, NE ZA ČETIRI GODINE! Mario Mandžukić u Osijeku će doživjeti natjecateljski debi u novoj ulozi na klupi Vatrenih, SuperMario će u svojstvu jednog od pomoćnika izbornika Zlatka Dalića dočekati susret s Austrijom u prvoj utakmici nove sezone Lige nacija.

S dva mjeseca odmaka, kako si doživio ponovno priključivanje reprezentaciji u novoj ulozi?

“Izbornik Dalić me pitao bih li se priključio njegovom stožeru i s veseljem sam pristao jer mogu i želim pomoći. Imao sam i prije toga planove krenuti u trenerske vode, a kako sam bio dugo u reprezentaciji odluka mi je bila vrlo laka.

Dobro poznajem izbornika, druge članove stožera i sve ljude oko reprezentacije, znam koliko je to ugodno i profesionalno okruženje za rad pa se lako ponovno priključiti ekipi”. Što ti je najveća promjena u odnosu na razdoblje kad si bio igrač? Je li nervoza prije utakmice veća ili manja?

“Sve je, naravno, puno drugačije. Sada sam “s druge strane”, gledaš detalje koje prije nisi vidio, što je ujedno i zanimljivo.

Teško je uspoređivati nervozu prije utakmice jer smo u ožujku igrali prijateljske utakmice, što ipak donosi manji stres - vidjet ćemo kako će biti kada budu natjecateljske utakmice. Ono što je jednako jest da i kao igrač i kao trener moraš biti maksimalno koncentriran i ozbiljan. Čini mi se da sam sada ipak malo opušteniji nego kao igrač, što je vjerojatno i logično”.

Izbornik Dalić od početka govori kako

je odlično da se u rad stožera uključuju proslavljeni reprezentativci. Imao si to iskustvo kao igrač - što vam donosi prisustvo takvih trenera koji su kao igrači prošli najveće utakmice i klubove? Kako ti možeš svoje iskustvo najbolje prenijeti mladim igračima?

“Mislim da je to odlično razmišljanje izbornika - tko može bolje razumjeti sve te situacije bolje od igrača koji su to prošli. To iskustvo nije moguće pronaći u nekoj knjizi.

Zato sam i prihvatio Dalić poziv, jer nije tu samo izbornik, tu su i drugi članovi stožera, s Ćorlukom i Olićem sam i igrao, i raduje me što su tu. Prošli smo različite situacije u karijeri i sigurno tim iskustvom možemo pomoći. Kako? Sigurno kroz razgovor s igračima, kroz davanje savjeta, time da podijelimo neko svoje iskustvo.

Svakako možemo pomoći i kroz organizaciju dobrih, kvalitetnih treninga, da im bude zanimljivo i da rade maksimalno koncentrirano, da daju sve od sebe”.

Iako ima još zajedničkih točaka s momčadi iz Rusije, ipak je današnja momčad prilično drugačija. Što ti se sviđa u ovoj ekipi?

“Došlo je dosta mladih igrača, a ono što mi se sviđa kod svih je što žele raditi, što su maksimalno fokusirani i spremni na zahtjeve koji se stave pred njih. To me veseli vidjeti. U Dohi sam primijetio da svi imaju veliki motiv i da vlada snažno zajedništvo, gdje igrači ne gledaju sebe već ekipu, svi su bili kao jedan. To je najvažniji preduvjet za bilo kakav uspjeh. Potrudit ćemo se s naše strane da tako bude i dalje”.

“Skupina je dobra, s odličnim protivnicima.

Nakon naporne sezone izbornik je pozvao dosta igrača jer sigurno neće svi igrati u sve četiri utakmice s obzirom na to da je ritam izuzetno naporan, s četiri utakmice u samo deset dana. Bit će to dobra prilika za uigravanje za ono što nas čeka na Svjetskom prvenstvu.

Utakmice će, ujedno, biti prilika za velik broj igrača da se pokažu i potvrde protiv izvrsnih suparnika. Krećemo s dvije utakmice kod kuće, vjerujem pred punim tribinama, i imamo se pravo nadati dobrom startu, s dvije pobjede. Najvažnije je da ne bude ozljeda i da probamo odigrati što bolji nogomet te pritom skupiti što više bodova”.

Kakvu Hrvatsku očekuješ u Ligi nacija, i gdje je, realno, možemo očekivati u društvu s Francuskom, Danskom i Austrijom?

UEFa Super cup WINNER

Kakvu Hrvatsku očekuješ i vidiš u Kataru?

“Slažem se s nekom općenitom ocjenom da je prolazak skupine osnovni cilj, kao što je uvijek slučaj s Hrvatskom na velikom natjecanju. No, kada vidim našu kvalitetu i igrače koje imamo, smatram da si smijemo dopustiti i razmišljanje o još višim ciljevima. Igrači mogu i smiju tako gledati - neka odmah iskoriste priliku i ostave trag, dok pored sebe imaju iskusne igrače koji su već puno toga ostvarili.

Zašto čekati nove četiri godine? Sada je prilika i treba je što bolje iskoristiti”.

Puno se govori da nakon Rusije nemamo napadača poput Mandžukića.

Kako ti vidiš konkurenciju među napadačima i je li ti upravo to fokus rada u

fifa club world cup WINNER

okviru stožera?

“Ne postoje dva ista igrača, pa se s tim ne trebamo ni zamarati. Ni prije mene nije bio isti profil igrača kao što sam ja, pa smo isto bili uspješni, a isto tako mislim da imamo kvalitetne igrače u napadu i danas.

Važno je da momčad funkcionira dobro, kao jedan, a onda će i napadači doći do izražaja. Mislim da imamo dobre igrače u napadu, u dobroj formi, i da oko toga ne trebamo brinuti. Volim razgovarati s napadačima, podijeliti neki savjet s moje strane, no razgovaram i sa svima ostalima. Kao igrač, uvijek mi je na prvom mjestu bila ekipa, a tako to gledam i kao trener - tu sam za cijelu momčad”.

MARIO MANDŽUKIĆ, NEW ADDITION TO CROATIA'S COACHING STAFF

SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY IN QATAR, NOT IN FOUR YEARS TIME! In Osijek, Mario Mandžukić is about to experience his competitive debut in a new role. As a member of Croatia's coaching staff - one of Zlatko Dalić's assistants - he awaits the Austria encounter in the opening match of another UEFA Nations League season.

Two months following the appointment, how does it feel to rejoin the national team in a new role?

"Head coach Dalić inquired if I'm interested in joining his staff. I was happy to accept, since I can help, and I want to help. I have already had plans to start my coaching career, and considering the time I've spent in the national team, it was a very easy decision. I know the head coach, other members of the coaching staff, and everyone involved very well. I am aware this is a pleasant and professional work environment, and it's easy to rejoin the team".

What is the major change regarding your playing career? Are you more or less nervous before the kick-off?

"Everything is, of course, very different.

Now, I'm on the other side, I look at details I wasn't looking for before, which is interesting. It is difficult to compare the anxiety levels. In March, Croatia was playing less stressful friendly matches, and we will see how it goes in the upcoming, competitive ones. What didn't change is that I have to be equally focused as a player and as a coach. However, it seems I am a bit more relaxed now than I was during my playing career, which makes sense".

Head coach Dalić always repeats that it is excellent to see former internationals joining Croatia's coaching staff. You have experienced this as a player - how do coaches with exemplary playing careers contribute to the team? How can you transfer your experience to young players?

"I believe the head coach is right - who can better understand any situation than a player who has been through everything.

You cannot find such experience in a book.

That's why I have accepted Dalić's invitation. It's not just him, there are other members of the coaching staff: I have played with Ćorluka and Olić, and I am happy to have them here. We've been through many moments in our careers and this experience can surely help, mostly by talking to the players, sharing advice and previous events. Moreover, we can try to organize quality practice sessions, to make them interesting, in order to have players fully focused and to give all they've got".

Even though there are still links to the Russia '18 squad, Croatia national team today looks quite different. What do you like the most?

"Plenty of young players have joined the squad, and I like to see their desire to work, to see them fully focused and ready to accept the requirements. Back in Doha, I have noticed how motivated they are, and how they enjoy a strong team unity. The players put the team first, they were all as one. That is the basic condition for any kind of success. On behalf of the coaching staff, I can say we'll try to retain this team spirit".

How will Croatia cope with France, Denmark, and Austria in the upcoming UEFA Nations League season?

"It is a good group, with excellent opponents. The club season was exhausting, and the head coach decided to call up more players, considering that no one can play in all four June matches. This is a very demanding rhythm in just ten days. However, it will be a good opportunity to prepare for the World Cup, and many players will get a chance to prove their quality against strong opponents. We start the campaign with

two home games, hopefully in front of full crowds, and we can hope for positive outcomes. The most important thing is to avoid injuries, and to put in a good performance and collect as many points as possible".

What can Croatia hope for in Qatar?

"I agree with the general presumption that the main objective is to reach the second round, as Croatia strives to do in every major tournament. However, when I look at our quality, our players, I believe

we can be allowed to set a higher objective.

The players can look at it in this manner let them seize the opportunity immediately and leave their mark, while they have experienced, accomplished players by their side. Why wait four more years? Now is the opportunity, and we should make the most of it".

There have been a lot of discussions on a lack of striker like Mandžukić after 2018.

What do you think about Croatia's strikers, is that your special task in the coaching staff?

"There are never two identical players, and this shouldn't be a topic. There was no Mandžukić before me, and Croatia was successful, and I believe now we have quality striker too. The key is that the team works together, and the strikers will then find their place. Our strikers are in good shape, and there is no reason to worry. I like to talk to strikers, give some advice, but I talk to other players as well. As a player, I have always put the team first, and I do the same as a coach - I'm here for the entire team".

PRVI Prvi susret Austrije i Hrvatske upriličen je u travnju 2000. godine u austrijskoj prijestolnici Beču, na stadionu Ernst Happel, a domaćine je u vodstvo doveo austrijski Hrvat Ivica Vastić.

Međutim, izabranici Ćire Blaževića potom su preokrenuli pogocima Alena Bokšića i Marija Stanića te je Hrvatska naposljetku pobijedila rezultatom 2:1.

PAMTIMO Na Europskom prvenstvu 2008. godine Hrvatska je maestralno odradila posao u skupini, ubilježivši sve tri pobjede, a prva je ostvarena upravo protiv domaćina Austrije u Beču. Na otvaranju utakmice, u četvrtoj minuti, odgovornost je preuzeo budući kapetan Luka Modrić i s bijele točke donio Vatrenima izrazito vrijedne bodove.

POSLJEDNJI Od posljednjeg dvoboja s Austrijom prošlo je već više od desetljeća, a odigran je u Klagenfurtu, također u godini u kojoj su Vatreni propustili veliko natjecanje. U svibnju 2010. pobjedonosni je pogodak pao u završnici utakmice, a postigao ga je prezimenjak izbornika Slavena, Mate Bilić, za konačnih 1:0.

vs.

FIRST Croatia's first encounter with Austria happened in Vienna, at Ernst Happel Stadium in April 2000, with Austrian Croat Ivica Vastić giving the hosts the lead. However, Ćiro Blažević's men came back from behind to win, as Alen Bokšić and Mario Stanić provided the goals for a 2:1 victory.

MEMORABLE At EURO 2008, Croatia did a brilliant job in group stage, winning all three matches, starting with Austria in Vienna. In the RECENT opening minutes, the future captain Luka Modrić took Croatia faced Austria for the the responsibility and last time over a decade ago converted the penalty, interestingly, once again in a which proved crucial to rare year when the national secure valuable points for team failed to reach a major the Vatreni. tournament. Back in Klagenfurt, in May 2010, the deciding moment happened in the closing minutes, when striker Mate Bilić made it 1:0 for Slaven Bilić's squad.

David ALABA

Marcel SABITZER

Marko ARNAUTOVIĆ

Nesumnjivo prvo ime austrijske nogometne reprezentacije. Svestrani branič koji se probio do prve momčadi Bayerna, osvojio razne prestižne trofeje te se prošle godine priključio kraljevskom društvu u Real Madridu.

Alaba će uskoro ući u reprezentativni "Klub 100", a postigao je već 14 pogodaka u nacionalnom dresu.

Sabitzer je jedan od najatraktivnijih nogometaša austrijske reprezentacije, a svoje je kvalitete na najvišoj razini dokazao kao jedan od predvodnika razvoja RB Leipziga. Od ljeta 2021. godine brani boje njemačkog prvaka Bayerna, a za Austriju je odigrao 60 utakmica. Bio je i jedini strijelac svoje momčadi u ožujku ove godine, u dvoboju doigravanja za SP protiv Walesa.

Snažan napadač i izvrstan tehničar, Arnautović u austrijsku reprezentaciju donosi i iskustvo iz engleskog Premiershipa, s obzirom da je između 2013. i 2019. godine branio boje Stoke Cityja i West Hama, nakon što se na veliku scenu probio kao igrač Twentea i Werdera. Okušao se i u Kini, a po nogometnim vještinama, ali i temperamentu, uspoređivan je sa Zlatanom Ibrahimovićem.

Undoubtedly the superstar of the Austrian national football team. A versatile defender who found his way to Bayern's first team and won numerous prestigious trophies, only to join the royal company of Real Madrid last year.

Alaba is set to join the international Club 100 soon, and already has 14 international goals to his name.

Sabitzer is one of the most exciting players in Austria, who proved the quality of his skills at the highest level leading the development of RB Leipzig in Bundesliga. From the summer of 2021, he wears Bayern's shirt. Sabitzer represented Austria on 60 occasions, and was the only Austria's goalscorer in FIFA World Cup play-offs against Wales in March.

A strong, technically gifted striker, Arnautović adds Premiership experience to Austria, considering his Stoke City and West Ham spells in 2013 - 2019 period, following his appearance at the senior stage in Twente and Werder shirts. Later on, he moved to China, and due to his football skills as well as his temper, he was often compared to Zlatan Ibrahimović.

Head coach:

Aleksandar DRAGOVIĆ

Ralf Christoph BAUMGARTNER RANGNICK

Jedini koji je uz legendarnog Andreasa Herzoga već stigao do troznamenkastog broja nastupa za Austriju, Dragović je stup obrane nacionalne momčadi. Igrao je za bečku Austriju, Basel, kijevski Dynamo i Bayer Leverkusen, uz epizodu u Leicester Cityju, a trenutačno igra za Crvenu zvezdu, u rodnom gradu svojih roditelja. Svoj je premijerni pogodak za Austriju, zanimljivo, postigao protiv - Brazila.

Baumgartner je jedan od najistaknutijih primjera mladih snaga u austrijskoj izabranoj vrsti. U veznom redu njemačkog Hoffenheima igra već nekoliko sezona, a Austrijanci posebno pamte njegov pogodak za pobjedu protiv Ukrajine (1:0) na posljednjem Europskom prvenstvu, zahvaljujući kojemu su Baumgartner i suigrači osigurali povijesni, prvi plasman u drugi krug tog natjecanja.

Only Austrian player following the legendary Andreas Herzog to reach a three-digit number of caps, Dragović is a pillar of national team's defence.

He played for Austria Vienna, Basel, Dynamo Kyiv, and Bayer Leverkusen, with a spell at Leicester City, and currently wears the Red Star colours in his parents' home town. Dragović noteworthy scored his first international goal against Brazil.

Baumgartner is one the most prolific young players in Austria national team.

He develops his career in Hoffenheim midfield, with the Austrians remembering his decisive goal in a EURO 2020 victory over Ukraine (1:0), which secured Baumgartner and his teammates a historic second round berth.

Novi austrijski izbornik debitirat će upravo protiv Hrvatske u Osijeku, a iza njega stoji bogat trenerski životopis koji uključuje Stuttgart i Hannover te izrazito dubok trag ostavljen u Schalkeu i Hoffenheimu.

Njegove taktičke ideje i promišljanja osigurali su mu brojne pohvale i priznanja te posebno mjesto u razvoju njemačkog nogometa, a na klupu Austrije stiže poslije trenersko-savjetodavnih uloga u RB Salzburgu i RB Leipzigu, odnosno Manchester Unitedu.

The new solution at Austria bench will make his debut against Croatia in Osijek.

Rangnick enjoys a rich coaching CV, including spells at Stuttgart and Hannover, and extremely successful periods at Schalke and Hoffenheim. His revolutionary tactical ideas were recognized, acknowledged and awarded throughout Germany and Europe, and he takes over in Austria following coaching and administrative roles at RB Salzburg, RB Leipzig, and Manchester United.

Gošća sportašica: hrvatska tenisačica DONNA VEKIĆ

MODRIĆ, PERIŠIĆ I KOVAČIĆ SU ODLIČNI TENISAČI Osječanka Donna Vekić, jedna od najboljih hrvatskih tenisačica, rado je, unatoč brojnim obavezama u razdoblju kad je sezona u punom jeku, prihvatila ulogu gošće sportašice na stranicama posvećenim Vatrenima. Tim više što je vjerna navijačica hrvatske nogometne reprezentacije.

“Redovito pratim hrvatsku reprezentaciju, u posljednje vrijeme pogledam svaku utakmicu pa se može reći da sam veliki fan Vatrenih. Svjetsko prvenstvo u Rusiji pratila sam igrajući Wimbledon, u Londonu smo proživljavali sve uspjehe na poseban način”, kaže Donna Vekić.

Imaš li neke “favorite” među hrvatskim reprezentativcima?

“Luka Modrić nije samo moj favorit, on je po mnogima najbolji igrač na svijetu! Naravno, moram spomenuti i našu legendu Davora Šukera, slavnog golgetera Brončanih iz Francuske."

Vatreni uskoro gostuju u Osijeku. Kakvu atmosferu možemo očekivati u Slavoniji?

“Osijek se uvijek pokazao kao poseban domaćin hrvatskoj nogometnoj reprezentaciji. Ne samo da je stadion uvijek pun, već strast i poštovanje prema duhu reprezentacije ovdje ima posebno značenje. I na to smo ponosni. A posebno na to koliko vrhunskih hrvatskih nogometaša dolazi upravo iz Osijeka”.

Guest athlete: Croatian tennis player DONNA VEKIĆ

MODRIĆ, PERIŠIĆ, AND KOVAČIĆ ARE EXCELLENT TENNIS PLAYERS Donna Vekić, born in Osijek, one of the best Croatian female tennis players, was happy to accept the invitation to speak for the Croatia national football team pages, despite numerous obligations during the peak of the tennis season. She is a loyal supporter of the Vatreni.

"Lately, I have been watching every single match of the Croatia national team, and one can say I'm a big fan, on a regular basis. I have been in London, at Wimbledon, as Croatia was playing at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. We have experienced that success in a special way", Donna Vekić says.

Do you have any "favourites" among the Croatia internationals?

"Luka Modrić is not just my favourite, many consider him the best player in the world! Of course, I have to mention our legend, Davor Šuker, the famous bronze-winning goalscorer from France '98".

The Vatreni are soon returning to Osijek.

What kind of atmosphere will Slavonia provide this time?

"Osijek is always a special host to the Croatia national football team. Not only the stadium is always sold out, but the passion and respect for the national team spirit has a special meaning here.

And we are proud of that. Moreover, we are proud to see so many top Croatian footballers coming from Osijek".

There are plenty of quality tennis players among Croatia footballers. Do you have any insight on who is the best tennis player among them?

"Oh yes, there is a number of them among the Vatreni: Perišić, Modrić, my partner from Petrinja exhibition match Kovačić, Mandžukić..."

Once you have been playing football with other Croatian tennis players, in a charity event. How good are your football skills - and who is the best footballer among the tennis players?

"Yes, I am always happy to meet Croatia internationals, especially when we can help in a charity event. I know that Belinda Benčić is a good footballer, but in the end, I'm the one coming from a football family!"
