“Equal rivals. The performance of the Japanese may affect the overall result. With Spain, they clearly demonstrated this, and before that, against Germany, they pleasantly hit. Dangerous opponent.

Croatia is an experienced team. Let me remind you that they played in the final of the 2018 World Cup. The possibilities of the Croats to go far again should not be written off. The potential is not bad, there are also enough high-quality performers in terms of composition.

In the main time of the game, I bet on a draw. That is my choice. I will not give preference, a very intriguing confrontation awaits us, ”said Zakhovailo.
