Dragi prijatelji nogometa, u ime Hrvatskog nogometnog saveza želim vam dobrodošlicu u Split i na stadion Poljud uoči nogometnog spektakla u okviru Uefine Lige nacija u kojem će snage odmjeriti finalisti prošlog Svjetskog prvenstva, Hrvatska i Francuska.

Bogata je povijest dvoboja Vatrenih i Tricolora, ali teško je govoriti o rivalstvu s obzirom na savršen učinak koji Francuska ima u tim ogledima. Izuzetno poštujemo momčad Didiera Deschampsa, aktualnog svjetskog prvaka i zasigurno jednu od najboljih momčadi na svijetu. Svjesni smo da protiv ekipe s takvim svjetskim klasama nije lako izboriti pozitivan rezultat, no svi dijelimo stav izbornika Zlatka Dalića koji je najavio da priželjkuje prvu pobjedu protiv Francuske.

Bez obzira na svjetske zvijezde u redovima Francuske, Hrvatska ima brojne svoje adute.

Iskoristio bih priliku i čestitao 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 Split i Dalmaciju, gdje smo prije pola godine pred punim stadionom pobjedom protiv Rusije osigurali plasman na Svjetsko prvenstvo.

Siguran sam da nas ponovno čeka veličanstvena atmosfera i sjajna utakmica u kojoj ovoga puta nemamo toliki pritisak, ali imamo veliku želju pobijediti svjetske prvake i tako poslati snažnu poruku uoči Katara da je Hrvatska i dalje u svjetskom vrhu.

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 splitska publika još jednom pokazati ljubav, zahvalnost i poštovanje koje svaki hrvatski navijač ima prema Luki, njegovim uspjesima i svemu što je ostvario s Hrvatskom.

Dobrodošli Welcome

We are aware that there is no easy path towards a positive outcome against the world-class players in French team. However, we all share Zlatko Dalić's attitude and desire a first victory over France.

Igračima, stručnom stožeru, službenoj delegaciji i navijačima Francuske želim dobrodošlicu i ugodan boravak u Splitu i Dalmaciji - iako dolazite iz lijepe zemlje, sada ste došli u još ljepšu! Uživajmo u velikom nogometnom spektaklu, uz fer i korektno navijanje!

Sretno Hrvatska!

Marijan Kustić, predsjednik Hrvatskog nogometnog saveza

the world-class players in French team. However, we all share Zlatko Dalić's attitude and desire a first victory over France.

Regardless of French superstars, Croatia has a number of its own quality players. I would like to use this opportunity 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 host our opponents in Split, Dalmatia, at the stadium that hosted Croatia's victory over Russia to secure the World Cup berth six months ago. I am convinced that we will be playing in a magnificent atmosphere yet again. In this exciting match, there is no such pressure, but we passionately want to overcome the world champions, to send the message before the trip to Qatar that Croatia remains among the top nations of world football.

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 Split 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 Split, to Poljud Stadium, on the eve of the UEFA Nations League spectacle where the 2018 World Cup finalists, Croatia and France, are about to face each other once again.

The Vatreni and Les Bleus share a rich history, yet it is difficult to talk about a rivalry, considering France's almost perfect score in these matches. Croatia extremely respects Didier Deschamps' team, the current world champions, and definitely one of the best teams in the world. We are aware that there is no easy path towards a positive outcome against

To France's players, coaching staff, the official delegation, and the supporters, I wish a warm welcome and a pleasant stay in Split and Dalmatia. You come from a beautiful country, and now you have come to the even more beautiful one! Let us enjoy this football spectacle, and cheer our teams on in a fair and respectful manner!

Good luck Croatia!

Marijan Kustić, President of the Croatian Football Federation

Joško Gvardiol, pouzdani branič Vatrenih, uoči dvoboja s Francuskom

LIGA NACIJA KAO ODSKOČNA DASKA ZA KATAR

Prije sedam mjeseci okupljene novinare silno je nasmijao spontani i simpatični medijski istup Joška Gvardiola na poljudskom stadionom poslije pobjede nad Rusijom (1:0) koja je hrvatskoj nogometnoj reprezentaciji donijela izravni plasman na Svjetsko prvenstvo u Kataru.

Mladi branič Vatrenih pokušao je zbrojiti dojmove velike pobjede, ali je poslije prve rečenice zastao, nasmijao se i jednostavno zaključio “Ja, zapravo, nemam pojma što pričam…” Uoči novog natjecateljskog ispita u okviru druge utakmice u novoj sezoni Lige nacija, protiv Francuske u Splitu, Joško itekako dobro zna što govori kad najavljuje još jedan dvoboj s aktualnim svjetskim prvacima.

“Svi znamo tko je Francuska, pogotovo u kontekstu naših međusobnih utakmica. Riječ je o protivniku kojega ne treba posebno

predstavljati i momčadi koja sigurno spada među nekoliko najboljih na svijetu. Znam da tradicija međusobnih utakmica nije na našoj strani, znam da nas još uvijek boli onaj poraz u finalu Svjetskog prvenstva 2018. godine u Francuskoj i znam da u Ligi nacija također nismo dobro prolazili, ali uvjeren sam da ovom prilikom možemo pružiti dobar otpor i ostvariti pozitivan rezultat”, kaže Joško Gvardiol, koji ima pokriće za optimizam.

“Iza velikog broja naših igrača stvarno je fantastična klupska sezona, mnogi od nas nositelji su igre ili ključni igrači u najvećim europskim klubovima. Nadam se samo da se naporne sezone neće odraziti na umor naših igrača u ovom lipanjskom ciklusu i da je ostalo nešto svježine.

Nije jednostavno odigrati četiri utakmice u deset dana, pogotovo u okolnostima kad je mnogima od nas

već završila sezona i počinjao odmor koji smo morali prekinuti zbog Lige nacija. Što je, tu je, svi smo u istoj situaciji, ono u što sam siguran je to da će svatko od nas tko istrči protiv Francuza sigurno pružiti maksimum”.

Iza Joška je sjajna sezona s RB Leipzigom. Osim što se u ekspresnom roku priviknuo na bundesligaško okruženje, branič Vatrenih je u kratkom razdoblju uspio postati jedan od najtraženijih braniča na svijetu.

“Nikad ne volim govoriti o sebi, ali stvarno se mogu pohvaliti da je iza mene jako dobra klupska sezona. Možda je RB Leipzig, u rezultatskom smislu, mogao biti malo uspješniji, ali bili smo u vrhu Bundeslige, opet ostvarili plasman u Ligu prvaka, osvojili njemački Kup, a u Europskoj ligi dogurali do polufinala. naravno da nam je svima žao što nismo igrali u finalu, ali, sve u svemu, jako sam zadovoljan sezonom”.

Hrvatska susretima Lige nacija otvara novi natjecateljski ciklus u godini Svjetskog prvenstva u Kataru. Svaka utakmica je svojevrsna priprema za ono što Vatrene očekuje od sredine studenoga.

“Znam da nam je ove godine Svjetsko prvenstvo u Kataru prioritet, ali svaku utakmicu moramo shvaćati ozbiljno, tako i ove u Ligi nacija. Uostalom, dobrim rezultatima stvara se pozitivno ozračje uoči nastupa na SP-u. Jako je bitno zadržati kontinuitet dobrih rezultata jer

oni donose dobru atmosferu unutar momčadi. Vjerujem da i hoćemo. Kako protiv Francuza? Odlučno! Moramo se nametnuti igrom, a imamo igrače koji to mogu. Nema puno momčadi takvu veznu liniju kao što je ima hrvatska reprezentacija. Modrić, Kovačić i Brozović su klasa za sebe, njih mora respektirati i takav protivnik kao što su Francuzi”.

Poljud je posljednji put bio sretan za Vatrene…

“Uvijek je lijepo igrati za reprezentaciju pred poljudskim tribinama, još uvijek se sjećamo velike fešte poslije pobjede nad Rusijom. Na Poljudu uvijek vlada fantastična atmosfera, ne sumnjam da će tako biti i sad protiv Francuske u Ligi nacija”.

Odbrojavanje prema Svjetskom prvenstvu već je počelo. Pritom se, naravno, svi pitaju što u Kataru može Hrvatska koja tamo stiže kao aktualni svjetski doprvak.

“Vjerujem da možemo ostvariti dobar rezultat. Samo… Za dobar rezultat mora se poklopiti puno važnih čimbenika. Najprije se treba nadati da će nas zaobići ozljede, a onda vjerovati u veliki rezultat. Plasman u nokaut fazu Svjetskog prvenstva u Kataru moramo gledati kao primarni cilj, ali naravno da nećemo prestati vjerovati da možemo otići puno dalje. Momčad je sazrela, imamo kvalitetnu širinu igračkog kadra, izvukli smo skupinu po mjeri… Sad je na nama da se u Kataru pokažemo u što boljem svjetlu”, zaključio je Gvardiol.

Joško Gvardiol, Croatia's reliable defender, on the eve of France clash

UEFA Nations League as a springboard for Qatar Seven months ago, at the press conference following the decisive qualifying victory over Russia (1:0) in Split, that secured Croatia's direct World Cup berth, a likeable, spontaneous Joško Gvardiol's moment made everyone laugh.

Croatia's young defender tried to share his impressions of this important win, but stopped after the first sentence, and chuckled: "Actually, I have no idea what I'm talking about". On the eve of the second encounter in the new UEFA Nations League season, against France in Split, Joško is well aware of what he is talking about, regarding another clash with the current world champions.

"Everybody knows how good is France, especially considering our head-to-head record. This opponent needs no introduction, they are one of the best teams in the world. I am aware that the tradition is not on our side, and the defeat in the 2018 World Cup final still hurts. Moreover, we did not always performed perfectly in the UEFA Nations League, but I am convinced we can compete with France and achieve a positive outcome", says Gvardiol, explaining his reasons for optimism.

"Many of our players come from a fantastic club season, many are the key players in the biggest European clubs. I can only hope that the fatigue will not be an issue in June, and that the players can still be fresh for the upcoming challenges.

It's never easy to play four matches in ten days, especially at the end of the club season and the beginning of our vacation period. However, we are all in the same situation, and I am convinced that every

player who appears against France will give his best".

Joško enjoyed a great season with RB Leipzig. He was quick to adapt to Bundesliga requirements, and managed to become one of the most-wanted defenders in the world.

"I do not like to talk about myself, but I can confirm that I've had a really successful season. RB Leipzig could have achieved even more, yet we were close to the top of the German league, reached Champions League, won the German Cup, and made it to the Europa League semifinals. Of course, we regret missing out on the final itself, but generally speaking, I'm very satisfied".

Croatia's competitive games in the UEFA Nations League are going to help the Vatreni prepare for the winter challenges at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

"This year, the FIFA World Cup in Qatar is the priority, but every match has to be taken seriously, including the UEFA Nations League. Furthermore, positive outcomes can help create a positive atmosphere before the World Cup. It is paramount to retain a positive streak to keep the team spirit up, and I believe we can do so. How to play against the French?

With determination! Croatia has to force its style of play, and we have just the right players for such a task. There aren't many teams who can match Croatia's midfield quality. Modrić, Kovačić, and Brozović are world-class players, and even France has to respect them".

Last time, Poljud Stadium was a happy

venue for the Vatreni...

"It is always nice to play for the national team in front of full crowd in Split. I can still remember the celebrations following the victory over Russia. There is always a fantastic atmosphere at Poljud and I have no doubt that this France's visit will be no different".

The countdown for the World Cup has already begun, and everybody wonders what role can Croatia, the current silver medallist, play in Qatar.

"I believe we can achieve a good result.

Still, there are many factors that have to align.

We need to avoid injuries, and believe we can accomplish something great. The main objective has to be to reach the second round, but we will not stop believing in more than that. Croatia's team has matured, we have plenty of quality in the squad, the draw was adequate... Now it is up to us to present Croatia in Qatar in the best possible light", concludes Gvardiol.

PRVI Scenarij za prvi ogled Hrvatske i Francuske nije mogao biti uzbudljiviji: Vatreni puni želje za dokazivanjem pred svjetskim auditorijem i predstavljanjem svoje mlade domovine na premijernom Svjetskom prvenstvu, a Francuzi pred svojom publikom, na novom Stade de Franceu, u lovu na premijernu titulu svjetskog prvaka. Davor Šuker omogućio je Hrvatskoj minutu posvemašnjeg delirija, no potom se pojavio neočekivani junak Lilian Thuram...

PAMTIMO Ako je polufinalni okršaj iz Francuske '98 bio veličanstven, što onda reći za onaj finalni iz Rusije '18?

Dalićeva Hrvatska nadmašila je Ćirinu brončanu generaciju, igrala najveću utakmicu na planetu, nacija je bila u transu, no Francuzi se nisu dali smesti te su 20 godina nakon prvog uzeli i drugi svjetski naslov. Međutim, ostaje neizbrisiva činjenica, koja se pamti cijeli život: gledali smo Vatrene u finalu Svjetskog prvenstva. Finalu.

Svjetskog. Prvenstva.

POSLJEDNJI U jesen 2020. godine, u sklopu drugog izdanja Lige nacija, Hrvatska je Francusku dočekala u Zagrebu, a Griezmann je rano najavio još jednu uspješnu večer za izabranike Didiera Deschampsa. Nikola Vlašić uspio je poravnati sredinom nastavka, no hrvatske je snove o željenoj pobjedi uklonio Mbappe (2:1) desetak minuta prije kraja dvoboja.

vs.

FIRST The script for the first Croatia's clash with France could have hardly been more exciting: the Vatreni burning with desire to prove their quality on the world stage and to represent their newlyindependent country at its first World Cup, while the Les Blues were in the hunt for their first world title, at home turf, at the newlybuilt Stade de France.

Davor Šuker provided Croatia a minute of national ecstasy, but then the unexpected hero Lilian Thuram took over...

MEMORABLE If the France '98 semifinals is considered magnificent, what can one say for the Russia '18 final match?

Dalić's Croatia managed to top Ćiro's bronze generation and played the biggest football match on the planet. The entire nation was in trance, but the French did not flinch. Twenty years later, they won their second world title. However, the fact remains, for a lifetime: we were watching Croatia in the FIFA World Cup Final.

World. Cup. Final.

RECENT In autumn 2020, during the second UEFA Nations League season, Croatia hosted France in Zagreb, with Griezmann scoring early to set Didier Deschamps' men on another winning path.

Nikola Vlašić managed to equalize in the second half, but Croatia's dreams of a victory were crushed by Mbappe (2:1) ten minutes from time.

Hugo LLORIS

Jonathan CLAUSS

N'Golo KANTE

S 35 godina na leđima, Lloris je prekaljeno rješenje na vratima svjetskih prvaka. Kao kapetan reprezentacije, upravo je on prije četiri godine u Moskvi prvi podignuo prestižni pehar te time stavio šlag na tortu bogate karijere u nacionalnom dresu, u kojemu je odigrao već 137 utakmica - i nije rekao posljednju riječ.

Clauss je protagonist nesvakidašnje priče francuskog nogometa, s obzirom da je prije četiri godine, kada je Deschampsova Francuska osvojila SP u Rusiji, bio igrač drugoligaša Quevilly Rouena, koji je potom potpisao za tadašnjeg njemačkog drugoligaša Arminiju.

Uslijedio mu je streloviti uspon u Lensu i s 29 godina, prije samo tri mjeseca, dočekao je prvi poziv u nacionalnu selekciju te debi protiv Obale Bjelokosti.

Neumorni radnik koji dijeli svlačionicu s Mateom Kovačićem u redovima Chelseaja postao je simbol modernog defenzivnog veznog igrača, koji bez pogovora odrađuje brojne "prljave poslove" u službi momčadskog uspjeha.

"Kada igrate s Kanteom u momčadi, odmah imate pola igrača više, on je jedinstven", opisao ga je Thomas Tuchel. Francuskoj je jednako vrijedan.

With 35 years of age, Lloris is an experienced solution between the world champions' posts. As team captain, it was Lloris who lifted the prestigious World Cup trophy four years ago in Moscow to gold-plate his rich international career. Capped 137 times, and did not yet have his final say.

Clauss is the protagonist of an extraordinary tale in French football, considering the fact that four years ago, when the Deschamps' France won the World Cup in Russia, he was playing for the second-tier club Quevilly Rouen, and then moved to German second-tier club Arminia Bielefeld. Later on, he was launched to glory in Lens, and with 29 years of age, just three months ago, he earned his first France call-up and the first appearance against Ivory Coast.

Tireless worker who shares the dressing room with Mateo Kovačić at Chelsea became a symbol of a modern defensive midfielder, who does everything what is required to help his team succeed. "With Kante in the team, you are already half a man up. He is a unique player", Thomas Tuchel described him. He is equally valuable to France.

Head coach:

Didier DESCHAMPS Karim BENZEMA

Kylian MBAPPE

Iako su njegove napadačke kvalitete poznate već dugo poznate, 34-godišnji Benzema živi novu renesansu svoje karijere.

Real Madridu neprestano osigurava ključne pogotke u svim natjecanjima i baca suparničke braniče u očaj, a Francuskoj - nakon povratka u reprezentaciju dodatnu ubojitost pred vratima. Mreže je tresao na Euru 2020, završnici Lige nacija i završnici kvalifikacija za SP.

U klubu i u reprezentaciji okružen je brojnim superzvijezdama, no ima zasebno mjesto na tom zvjezdanom nebu kao jedan od najboljih nogometaša svijeta. Na reprezentativno okupljanje dolazi nakon što je produžio ugovor u ulozi ikone PSG-a i postao prvi igrač u Ligue 1 koji je u istoj sezoni bio najbolji strijelac i najbolji asistent prvenstva.

His attacking prowess is well-known for a long time, but 34-year old Benzema experiences another renaissance of his career. At Real Madrid, he keeps on scoring the crucial goals in every competition and throws opposition defenders into desperation.

At France, following his return to the national team, he provides an extra quality going forward - he has been scoring at EURO 2020, UEFA Nations League final tournament, and the closing stages of 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign.

Playing for club and country, Mbappe is surrounded with major superstars, but he still has a special place in the starry sky of football, as one of the best players in the world. He joins the national team squad for June matches after extending his contract with PSG, where he is an icon.

This season, he became the first player in Ligue 1 to score the most league goals and provide the most league assists.

O nogometnoj veličini francuskog izbornika dovoljno govori i podatak da se nalazi u ekskluzivnom društvu Marija Zagalla i Franza Beckenbauera kao jedan od samo trojice koji su Svjetsko prvenstvo osvojili kao igrači i iz bornici. U oba navrata zaustavio je i Hrvatsku, a od ljeta 2012. godine, kada je preuzeo klupu nacionalne selekcije, Francuska neprestano igra u skladu s Deschampsovim neprikosnovenim, pobjedničkim karakterom.

Deschamps' place in football history is already exclusive: only Deschamps, Zagallo, and Beckenbauer managed to win the World Cup as both a player and a coach. On both occasions he faced Croatia, and since 2012, when he took over as the national team head coach, France is always playing in accordance with Deschamps unwavering, victorious nature.

Gošća sportašica: hrvatska zlatna olimpijka MATEA JELIĆ

VATRENI SU MI UVIJEK BILI INSPIRACIJA

Matea Jelić rado je prihvatila “gostovanje” među Vatrenima. Pogotovo jer je u pitanju Split, odnosno činjenica da je lani, uoči kvalifikacijske utakmice za Svjetsko prvenstvo u Kataru protiv Slovenije, doživjela ovacije ispunjenih poljudskih tribina kao osvajačica zlatne olimpijske medalje u taekwondou u Tokiju.

Tokija, baš lijepa gesta Hrvatskog nogometnog saveza. Naravno da još uvijek čuvam dres s brojem 2021 koji su mi uručili predsjednik Hrvatskog nogometnog saveza, Marijan Kustić i legendarni vratar Vatrenih, Stipe Pletikosa”, kaže Matea koja je bila dijelom sjajne atmosfere na Poljudu.

“Osjećala sam se predivno, ukazana mi je velika čast kao i ostalim osvajačima olimpijskih medalja iz

“Bio je to poseban osjećaj, u svakom trenutku s tribina se osjećala se velika

63 kg ljubav prema reprezentaciji. Poljud je prekrasan stadion, navijanje je bilo odlično, a Hrvatska je ostvarila uvjerljivu pobjedu. Sve u svemu, bilo je super. Uvijek kad bih gledala reprezentaciju na televiziji dobila bih posebnu inspiraciju, ali uživo je to bilo duplo bolje”.

Matea ne dvoji kad treba posebno istaknuti favorita među hrvatskim

reprezentativcima.

“Luka Modrić, naravno! On je pravi primjer napornog rada i poniznosti.

Pogledajte samo kakve sjajne rezultate postiže i još uvijek uživa u nogometu. A njegova igra… To je nešto fenomenalno.

Vjerujem da će još neko vrijeme biti lider hrvatske reprezentacije i da će nas u Kataru povesti prema još jednom velikom rezultatu”.

Još kao mala je zavoljela nogomet… “Često sam kao mala igrala nogomet, uvijek sam bila jedina cura među dečkima, ha, ha, ha… Mislim da mi je išlo super, iako… Uvijek sam željela pobijediti pa je moguće da su mi malo puštali jer im je tako bilo lakše, ha, ha, ha… U taekwondou sam ipak na svom terenu”.

Postavlja se pitanje koji bi hrvatski reprezentativac mogao biti uspješan u taekwondou…

“A joj… Iskreno, ne vidim niti jednog nogometaša u taekwondou, ha, ha, ha…”.

Guest athlete: Croatian Golden Olympian MATEA JELIĆ

THE VATRENI WERE ALWAYS MY INSPIRATION

"That was a beautiful feeling. I have been honoured as every other medallist from Tokyo, that was a great gesture from the Croatian Football Federation. I have received the shirt with the number 2021 from president Kustić and legendary goalkeeper Pletikosa, and I still have it, of course",

says Matea, who enjoyed the magnificent atmosphere at Poljud.

"That was a special feeling, at every moment one could feel the great love for the national team. Poljud is a beautiful stadium, the cheering was great, and Croatia celebrated a convincing victory. All in all, it was superb. I was inspired every time I've watched the national team on television, but it was twice as good to experience it live".

Matea has no doubt when selecting her favourite among Croatia internationals.

Matea Jelić was happy to accept this visit to the football pages. Especially since one of the topics is Split, and the fact that last year, before the World Cup qualifier against Slovenia, she was greeted by the full crowd at Poljud Stadium by standing ovations - as a taekwondo Olympic gold medallist from Tokyo.

Matea started to love football as a kid...

"As a kid, I have often played football, I was always the only girl among the boys. I believe I was really good. However, I had always wanted to win, and it's possible they had let me win sometimes, because it was easier for them to do so. After all, taekwondo remains my home turf".

The question arises: which Croatia international could be successful in taekwondo?

"Oh dear. To be honest, I cannot see any footballer being successful in taekwondo (laughs)."

Just look at his achievements, and he still enjoys football. His performances are phenomenal. I believe he will continue to lead Croatia - towards another great achievement, in Qatar".
