Jose Mourinho Warns Argentina : Croatia Midfielders Are The Best In The World
Published: June 21, 2018Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho believes Argentina will find it tough beating Croatia when both teams face off at the Stadion Nizhny Novgorod (Nizhniy Novgorod) on Thursday evening, starting from 1900 hours.
The Croats lead the way in Group D with three points and will qualify for the last sixteen with a game to spare if they beat the two-time world champions.
'''Croatia is a team with some talented, experienced players that play in the best clubs in the world,'' Mourinho told RT
''I don't think in the past years they had enough evolution for the next generation but they still have a group of players especially in that midfield, players that are the best in the world.
''Argentina is Argentina but I think Croatia has a team capable to give them a difficult match.''
