Watch: It will be tough but Croatia have a strong squad, says Andjelkovic

Mislav Andjelkovic will be one of Croatia's fans throughout the 2018 FIFA World Cup, even though he deems this tournament as a very tough task for his nation.

The Birkirkara midfielder is extremely cautious about his teams' chances even though there are always a lot of expectations on the side.

"People in Croatia always strive for the ultimate prize but it is not easy for Croatia, especially given how they qualified for the tournament," the 30-year old said to timesofmalta.com. 

Andjelkovic tipped midfield duo Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic as the main personalities that can help Croatia have a memorable tournament. 

"Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic play in big clubs and their experience will be needed when it comes to such platforms," he said.
