Croatia Mean Business : Send Scout To Spy On Nigeria Stars In London
Published: March 19, 2018
A representative from the Croatia National Team will be among the spectators at the Hive Stadium when the Super Eagles tackle Serbia in their third pre-World Cup friendly.
Croatia head coach Zlatko Dalić has confirmed that his scouts will attend all the matches involving their Group D opponents (Argentina, Iceland and Nigeria) at the World Cup this month, including the Super Eagles game against Serbia in London.
''Yes, Ladić goes to America. I needed a man who would monitor Iceland's game, Ivica Olić would probably look at the other game,'' said Dalic to Sportske Novosti.
''At the same time Nikola Jerkan will follow Argentina playing with Italy and Spain, while Ognjen Vukojević will watch Nigerians against Poland and Serbia.
''We will collect all relevant information about the rivals from the group.''
In terms of importance, Croatia have rated their World Cup opener against Nigeria on June 16 as the most crucial in Russia and Vukojević's first job will be to watch the likes of Alex Iwobi, Victor Moses and Wilfred Ndidi in action against Lewandowski and co. this Friday.
