Dalić on the BiH national team: God willing, we will meet at a later stage

Dalić, who is a two-time world medalist, will lead Croatia at the World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico, and during his stay in Istria, he reflected on the success of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team.

As a native of Livnjak, Dalić is well versed in the happenings in Bosnian football. The key to success, according to him, lies in the togetherness and atmosphere built by coach Sergej Barbarez, combining youth and experience.

“I think that Bosnia and Herzegovina pulled off and did something similar to Croatia. A good national team was created, the selector arranged it well. He introduced young forces, but kept Džeko and gathered younger players around him. He also hired several players from abroad, who were born there, and they brought new strength and energy. A great unity was created, which is extremely important,” said Dalić about the BiH national team, reports Index.hr.

The Croatian coach believes that Bosnia and Herzegovina should go gradually at the World Cup, with the first goal of passing the group, and he expressed his wish that the two national teams meet as soon as possible in the tournament.

“BiH has already done a great thing. We have seen the celebration and euphoria that has arisen. Expectations at the World Cup are high, and the group with Canada, Switzerland and Qatar is not difficult. Passing is possible and I think the goal must be to pass the group, without setting excessive ambitions and expectations. Step by step, BiH can do it. God willing, we will meet at a later stage of the championship,” he concluded.
