After helping Croatia to a third-place finish at the World Cup, captain Luka Modric plans to play for his country until the Nations League finals in June next year.
After the game, Modric was asked if he wanted to be at the European Championships in twenty four years.
I am enjoying my time with the national team.
Luka Modric started all seven of Croatia's World Cup games and believes he still has a lot to offer.
He feels he can perform on a high level.
I would like to continue until the Nations League. I will be able to think about Euro 2024.
Croatia's third-place finish follows on from their appearance in the final at the World Cup in Russia in 2018).
Zlatko Dalic insists there is plenty to be optimistic about for the future despite the fact that a number of the current squad are unlikely to feature in the tournament.
The World Cup is the last for some of Dalic's players. There is hope for Croatia, because we have young players in our team. Young players are on the bench.
Older players instill confidence in them. Croatia doesn't have to worry about the future. This may be the end of an era. We have the League of Nations and the Euros in the year 2024. I think Croatia has a bright future.
