There are exactly two months left before the start of the World Cup in Qatar. Certain favorites are already crystallizing, and although there is no current vice-champion of the world – Croatia, in that circle, Luis Figo believes that they can go one step further compared to Russia.
The once legendary football player was in Hvar where the UEFA Executive Board was meeting, so he had the opportunity to talk to the Croatian media.
And it was to them that he expressed his belief that the “Dice” can reach the title of world champion.
– I think Croatia is a potential candidate to win the World Cup! You had a great chance at the last championship, I think that if you work and continue like that and try to be better and better like the other national teams. You have great players. I wish you the best of luck in the next championship.
Figo also praised one of the best midfielders in the world – Luka Modrić.
– I think Modric is one of the best players in the world, one of the best guys in the world, too. Good friend. I think he deserves the best. You should be proud of him. I don’t know how he manages to be at that level continuously, all these years. I wish him to continue enjoying football and to last as long as possible at this level – said Figo.
To remind you, Croatia is at the World Cup in Qatar in Group F together with Belgium, Canada and Morocco.
