It was the Ante Rebić show in Germany on Saturday as the 24 year-old Croatian winger scored twice for Eintracht Frankfurt in a 3-1 German Cup Final victory over Bayern Munich; being named ‘Man of the Match.’ Rebić just returned from injury and looks to be at full strength heading into the World Cup, which only means good things for the team as the right side needs a confident player on the wing. In the 11th minute, Rebić was tough on defense causing a Bayern turnover which led to teammate Kevin-Prince Boateng putting Rebić on a contested breakaway. With a man on his back, Rebić slotted home just inside the left post to give Frankfurt a 1-0 lead.
With the game tied at 1-1 in the 82nd minute, Rebić fought tough against two Bayern defenders with a long ball being played down the field and cooly beat the keeper to give Eintracht the title. A late insurance goal would be scored with the Bayern goalie all the way up field following a set piece.
Rebić is feisty and plays with a lot of attitude. If he can replicate this performance against Brazil and Senegal in pre-World Cup friendlies, he could very likely be put on the Croatian right wing.
Rebić goals @ 1:59 and 9:13
It was a bittersweet victory for Niko Kovač on Saturday as he surprisingly defeated his future employer. Eintracht Frankfurt was near relegation only three seasons ago, but Niko Kovač got them back on track, finishing eighth in the Bundesliga this year and winning the DFB Pokal title; granting the club a spot in Europa League next season. Kovač will take over as manager of Bayern Munich this summer.
It was a wild game Sunday between Lazio and Inter Milan on the last day of Serie A. Inter Milan needed a win and only a win over Lazio in order to finish fourth in Italy and grab the last Champions League berth for next season. It got off to an awful start as Ivan Perišić was credited with an own goal in the ninth minute when the ball rocketed off his face and into goal. Inter would keep it tight and eventually make the game 2-2 in the 78th minute through a penalty kick before all hell would break loose for Inter fans. Marcelo Brozović would assist on Inter’s last goal of the season; a corner kick in the 81st minute which was headed home by Matias Vecino to give them a 3-2 win and a ticket into the Champions League next season.
It was rumored that Ivan Perišić would be sold in the summer if Inter did not finish top-four and play in the CL next season. Now that Inter Milan are back in the Big Dance, they are expected to be buyers rather than sellers. Perišić was wanted by Jose Mourinho and Manchester United in 2017. Will he get his wish this year?
Perišić own goal at 1:03, Brozović assist at 3:30
2002 We should of at least finished 2nd with Italy Mexico Ecuador. In 2006 we should have finished at least second with Brazil Japan Australia. In 2014 we should have once again with a more talented squad finished 2nd with Brazil Mexico and Cameroon. Modric and Rakitic played poorly against Mexico. Big stage didnt show up.
Croatia to lose to Nigeria is odds of 4 and Serbia to lose to Costa Rica is 4 as well that 16 combined good return. We usually go out in the group stage consistent with that in 2002 we thought we will go through in 2006 and 2014 we did as well but never lived up to our own expectations a bit of the English arrogance.
i like that. i’d be happy with that
based off of club performances in the past few months this should be the lineup…
……………………Krama………………..
…Perisic……….Modric……..Rebic…
………….Brozovic……Rakitic……….
..Pivaric…Lovren…Vida…Vrsaljko..
………………….Subasic………………..
Cuts not so bad.
@Vuki- i hope you are wrong about Mitrovic v Caleta Car.
Mitrovic has started for us with success. Caleta-Car needs to get some playing time.
I would hope he is thinking of cutting Strinic/Pivaric/Jedvaj. We have guys that are versatile.
Vida can play RB eg his game vs Ukraine
Vrsaljko can play RB or LB eg game vs Ukraine
@the truth-Kramaric can easily play attacking Midfield, to help with our “thin” MF if any injuries occur.
@Poglavnik-Agreed, Vida has proven to be our best defender as of late. Nobody else makes as many clutch tackles as he has for the NT. His set piece skills on offense has also been impressive.
@Andrej- Rakitic has played well for us as cdm under Dalic. Kova has played well as CDM for Real. Badelj falling out of favor at mid-level Fiorentina, but can still play cdm well. Dalic has some decosions to make.
I would play Rakitic(defensive), Kovacic , Modric (attacking), with the knowledge that Kova (and even Modric) can hold down the fort, when Rakitic is attacking. Real does it right when Kovacic is playing CDM, their midfield rotates and is malleable throughout the game.
We’ll see how Mandzukic with Kramaric works with a full strength team. It has worked before at full strength, but we will know very quickly vs Brazil.
Yeah, he is a troll and I can’t stand all his name calling.
Anonymous, I was referring to his comments about Mandzukic starting as a striker. I love Mandzukic but I also agree Kramaric deserves that spot. My guess is that Krama can’t start there because we don’t have a natural right sided player that’s played minutes and that is in form over the past several months.
Wow…I just noticed that Rog has been cut, that’s definitely gotta hurt him and his pride! He did well in the last Euro’s…this kid is gonna feel betrayed.
I do understand why he didn’t make the cut, I’m glad Pasalic isn’t in the team either, this decision is definitely gonna create a lot of talking points!
Truth, I’d have to agree with you but there is an obvious situation we have to take into consideration.
We have an issue down the right side, who starts there? I think Mandzukic is a starter only because we don’t have anyone that’s standard and in form down the right side. If we did, my bet would be that Mandzukic would be on the bench.
Doesn’t Dalic start Brozo over Badelj now. I don’t mind it based on recent form.
Sounds alright to me.
I would squeeze Vida into the starting 11 at the expense of any of our back 4.
He’s one of our most inspirational players.
He’d run through a wall for you, and the type of player I’d love to go to battle with.
the midfield is quite thin and vulnerable
6 midfielders….for arguably 4 spots….and one of those midfields is fillip bad-aric….risky
dalic did the obvious….what we all feared…but what I predicted would happen
he doesn’t have the guts to remove mandzukic from the starting line up so we’ll see perisic mandzukic and likely kramaric on the wring
still wouldn’t be a shocker for him not to even start kramaric
one must continue to wonder….why can all the not-always-bright minds on this site see that mandzukic should probably no longer be lead striker….but dalic and all these coaches can’t
stats so far this year for him:
juventus regular season: 5 goals in 2326 minutes /32 games
champions league: 4 goals in 450 minutes…not too shabby
wc qualifying: 5 goals in 880 minutes….not terrible…
hmmm but if we dig further….3 came in a 6-0 win against Kosovo…..1 came against finland that kramaric pretty much hit in….and the other 1 came against finland on the easiest tap in you’ll ever see
bottom line….Croatia had the least effective offensive output in qualifying in 15 years! with him leading the charge….doesn’t sound promising
Based on the news conference that dalic had I think the staring lineup will be what we fear kramaric on the wing and mandzo as striker. As he said he has a back up for every position and as he went through the squad he basically named what would be the starter fist and then backup ie. right back vrsaljko and Jedvaj , ie right wing kramaric and pjaca. I know it was just a news conference but pretty sure this will be line up
Subasic
Vrsaljko. Lovern. Corluka. Strinic
Badelj. Rakitic
Kramaric. Modric. Perisic
Mandzukic
Pjaca backup for kramaric brozovic for modric rebic for Perisic and Kalinic for mandzo
I’m surprised they did that this early. Why not test at least a few of the players in the friendlies? Oh well, I definitely think the final spot is between Mitrovic and Caleta-Car.
Wow Bradaric over Rog. Hopefully, Rog gets loaned out somewhere where he can get more playing time.
Interesting how he’s left Caleta-Car as the lone “extra”. Maybe due to Corluka’s health issues.
Rog doesn’t even make the team; fair choice.
https://twitter.com/hns_cff/status/998523735908012033?s=21
lol. dalic is smart, he put out a completely different system against mexico, very unlike anything we’ve seen before. to try and nullify the mexican possesion game and to get the best out of kramaric and rebic. it worked. we won. the players performed. i believe he will get most of the decisions at the WC right. all the big ones. if we lose it’ll be because we’re not good enough. not because of coach. the “fans”…..worrying
“Fans” v Mamic can screw this up.
All fine and dandy but Dalic can still screw this up.
For all we know, he is as hyped about Kalinic scoring a goal today, as we are about Rebic’s 1.5years of good form.
A lot of Hrvati involved in big time matches these days!
Perennial CL presence.
This is our time to let the world know we are ELITE.
Dalić needs to put the horses in the courses.
Better start the young legs and let the veterans come in late to go against tired legs.
Nigeria and Iceland will chasing our balls all match.
rebic is awesome. he has struggled a bit with injuries throughout his career so far. but he has progressed well when given the opportunity. he’s always made a good impression when he has played for the NT. he is a very good player. great option. can he really take it to the next level? why not, lots see…pjaca was so unlucky with injuries as well. i think without his injuries he’d be one of europe’s top players by now, with exactly the pace and dribbling and shooting ability we need, but instead he remains somewhat an unknown quantity. but it’s exciting times for us. i’m excited…you excited? i’m excited
I don’t think rebic train is new
He had an overall good season beside being injured the past little bit
He was maybe more of a wild card in Brazil
Now he is a piece that could be very functional for us
kalinic with a goal!!!!!
Inter through to the Champions League! Brozovic with an assist for the game winning goal! Brozovic was impressive today.
Persic put in a strong effort (despite the unlucky own goal). And his work rate was good.
The psychology of the site is interesting
Posting has been very light lately but this weekend it’s huge inspired by rebic performance
Now why is that?
It’s likely that people on this site realize that Croatia is not good enough with its known entities to really do much damage in the world cup
So there is constant hope for the next x factor to ride in on a white horse
A rebic gave many on this site that hope with that performance
Freakish Lazio goal just now off Perisic’s face. Looked painful.
@Andrej- yeah Franfurt goes to europa League. Rebic comes up big in a big game, no mental midgetcy there.
And Rebic had been solid now for 2 years, it is not just his last few games.
Nigeria is talking a lot of shit About Croatia. It’s a must win game for Croatia. And we need a 4-1 type of win. Not a 1-0 type thing. I mean a win is a win, I’ll take any type of win. But against Nigeria we need to blow them out to show the rest of the group that we mean business. Because all in all Nigeria does have a good squad. I am more nervous about playing Nigeria and Iceland then I am playing against Argentina. We always play to the level of our competition. Even though we beat Iceland and loss also, Iceland did win the qualifying group, I still fear them. And also, Argentina needs to care of business and win their games against Iceland and Nigeria. God forbid Iceland beats Argentina in the first game. It will be a nightmare if that happens. Because then Argentina will take all their frustration out against Croatia.
I personally think this could very well be Modric and Rakitic’s last World Cup, but I think there’s a good chance they play at the next Euros, but who knows. I really think it depends whether the abundance of midfield talent that we have pan out. Rog, Pasalic, Coric, Halilovic, Balic, Moro…and so on. One thing I am pretty confident about is that our defense will start to improve. Jedvaj, Caleta-Car, Benkovic, and Borna Sosa are just some of the defenders that have been promising. Borna Sosa just moved to Stuttgart and I think that was a great move for him. It’s not one of the top Bundesliga sides and he could possibly get some good playing time.
Remember when Livaja and Rebic were supposed to be the next big thing for us while playing for the U21s. Livaja goes to Inter…. and well things kinda plateaued from there. I’d rather judge Rebic over a larger sample size then the last couple of games. Huge goals though! All starts with his defensive tenacity. A little Olic like even. Does anyone know if Frankfurt are now able to try and qualify for Europe? And is Rebic’s contract up now? Same with Halilovic…
I agree with those
U think rakitic and even modric go?
I sure hope at least modric stays
@Dannyj I say this should be the last major tournament for Corluka, Mandzukic, and Kalinic. Corluka is just constantly getting injured and getting slower as time goes on. He has a great defensive mind which helps him a lot, but for me, he’s most effective with someone who is fast and can cover for him, which we don’t have. The reason I say Mandzukic and Kalinic is because of the young talent coming through. I love Mandzukic and he was always one of my favorite players since his days at Bayern, but he’s not the player he used to be and simply does not fit with this team’s system. Unless he produces big time at the World Cup, I think he should just let the younger guys come in and get some much needed experience. Kalinic is just simply too inconsistent. He’s scored some great goals for the NT and often seemed like a better fit than Mandzukic, but he really has not been doing much for club or country since the Euros.
Of course, these are my opinions based on how things currently are. I don’t want to force them out if they are actually doing well, but if they don’t produce they should not get the call anymore.
I’m very happy to see the options going forward
Some quality prospects
We should remain competitive for another generation at least
Obviously depends on how we do in Russia
But who do u think retires when it’s done?
Kramaric has shown he can score in bunches
Not going to use World class but he has shown he has a great sense for finding the back of the net but in variety more ways then say mandzukic
How to get them all In balance is up to dalic
I agree to start pjaca if he is on his game
Both mandzukic and for sure rebic off the bench to secure a score or if we need some fresh hard legs that can get us back in a game
Besides the lb spot we look way better overall then the start of last World Cup
Does that mean anything..no
But really if we gonna do something it is now
The good news is that Rebic, Kramaric and Perisc all play well for Croatia. Unlike some of our forwards in the past who never played for Croatia as well as they did for their club teams.
Anonymous,
Kramaric played out of position most of the time this season.
He could have scored 20 goals or more had he played as a centre forward all season.
I think he is our best striker since Suker. No reason why he cannot repeat Suker’s 1998 world cup performance.
@Toronto Croatia, I agree about Pjaca and the euro. Pjaca is a more technical player than Rebic…but after that knee injury he isn’t the same. I hope he gets back to his old ways, for the time being Rebic is in form and ready.
indeed. the thing is…sorry to put a dampener on the rebic excitement….the way frankfurt play. they squeeze the space in midfield, it’s a defensive, high energy, high work rate game. both rebic goals, powerful and brilliant though they were, came from the ball being popped through after a turn over. against mexico dalic used a similar high tempo, tight spaces geggenpressing style. it was good to see. but it’s difficult to sustain that type of football for long and i’m not sure it suits some of our veterans who are used to dominating possession for club and country. but it’s promising none the less. i hope i’m wrong. i hope dalic can formulate a system that is flexible. where we slow down that game and take control of midfield when required, and then get compact and press hard and release the likes of rebic and pjaca and kramaric and perisic when required…need intelligent players to be adaptable…we have that
Kramaric got 13 goals this season in the Bundesliga, the same amount as Aubameyang!
…………..Modric……
Rakitic……Brozovic/Kovacic
The strongest midfield Croatia has ever had!
Rebic……Kramaric…….Perisic
The most potent attack Croatia has ever had!
Zee still doesn’t understand, he’s Canadian not Croatian.
Rebić brings power and pace and now seems to have confidence and finished product in the final third.
3-5-2 …?
______Kramaric_________ Rebić
_____________ Modric
Perišić __________________ Vrsaljko
_______ Rakitić_______ Kovačić
___ Lovren_Čaleta-Car_ Vida

Toronto Cro:
That YouTube channel is awesome! hehe, im subscribed and have been for years, they make really good end of year vids of “the best goals of Croats in 20xx” year. It’s really cool to look at, love those vids and that channel!
I think the most positive thing is we have legit scoring threats now where in the last few years we have been coming up dry
I see a guy like rebic who I’m so glad has resurrected his career as someone we need against Nigeria
He is stong and athletic
Or does pjaca gives us that ability to just use our technique to fight their athleticism?
Obviously we don’t want to play rough with them but I like our chances if they wanna bang goals back and forth
Totonto-I respect your opinion, that Anon posting was me. I agree, Pjaca’s game vs Spain was his best. He looked promising, but still lacked that final touch (although I do recall him getting fouled pretty hard in the box.)
Pjaca’s run of decent form at Juve was promising, but nothing came to fruition (due to injury.)
Rebic has produced over the last 2 seasons for Frankfurt, culminating with today’s statement game.
It has been my position that Rebic is more valuable to Frankfurt than Kovac was. When Rebic went down to injury, Frankfurt tanked in the standings.
Watching the Mexicans bounce like beans off of Rebic was exciting for our World Cup hopes. A man among boys. He starts over Pjaca, even if Pjaca is healthier than we think.
Rebic-Kramaric-Perisic running at goalies is a happy thought for me, with Modric and Rakitic providing the needed service.
If Pjaca is ready, then all the better. No rest for our weary opponents.
Again did not answer question anonymous. What country do you live in? Not that i care.
Thx man. You’re alright! Of course i made fun of of truth troll for making fun of names. Just out of curiosity what country do you live in?
Anonymous as you can tell nobody is responding to your rants and childish grade 3 race baiting posts. Do you not get it? Nobody cares about that. This is a sports site. Yet i believe it’s you making fun of truth troll for making fun of names and stuff.. You are like a drunken broken record. I stopped posting my thoughts about our team and whatever else because of you. After a month away you still spinning the same record. You wouldn’t be a good dj. Keep having fun bro if it makes you feel better! Heaven help you.
@Maminjo
“I don’t recall saying that.”
I do recall, trust me you did say it. You can’t be right all the time.
“I don’t believe Mandzo or Kalinic are a good fit with the rest of our team, as their skillsets do not match the way our midfielders play…and we don’t really take advantage of the niche skills that Mandzo and Kalinic DO have (so it’s simply a waste of a starting player to even have them out there).”
This is the convo that @Slavonac from Canada wanted @Ante K & @Ante Zoric to start!
Of the niche skills that Mandzukic and Kalinic do have, which one is more suited to the NT?
@Toronto Croatia says,
“Mandzo is only as good as the service he is given.”
So who was shit at the Euros, Perisic and Brozovic for providing no service to Mandzukic?
Perisic did assist on Kalinic’s goal against Spain, but that was also due to some great movement off the ball by Kalinic.
Could Mandzukic do better playing with the B team than the A team?
Kalinic scored one goal playing with the B team at the Euros, Mandzukic scored none in 3 matches playing with the A team.
Kramaric to start, Kalinic next in line, Mandzukic surplus to rewuirements in my opinion.
@Maminjo I agree with Kramaric getting the start.
Mandzo is only as good as the service he is given. If he is given good service then he is a great striker but if not, he doesn’t tend to produce.
Rebic looked good today.. no doubt, but sometimes he can be too much of a bull in a China shop ..ie against mexico
https://youtu.be/7s3UmmurMH4
The good news is ..having these guys at our disposal are good problems to have.
@truth
That’s my major concern with Dalic. He reminds me too much of Bilic in that sense. He’s much better than guys like Kovac and Stimac were when it came to picking a good roster…but he’s too accommodating to certain players.
@Anonymous
I don’t recall saying that, but yea, Kovac was terrible for us and had no idea what he was doing. Bundesliga football is probably just a better fit for him. I doubt he would do any better for us if given another shot. He’d probably call up Pranjic again, lol.
@Toronto Croatia
I agree with you on Pjaca. I’m big on how a player “fits” with the rest of the group.
I don’t believe Mandzo or Kalinic are a good fit with the rest of our team, as their skillsets do not match the way our midfielders play…and we don’t really take advantage of the niche skills that Mandzo and Kalinic DO have (so it’s simply a waste of a starting player to even have them out there).
The linkup play between Andrej Kramaric and our creative midfielders runs ever so seamlessly, which makes it a no-brainer to have him start as our striker and play 90 minutes every game for us. I can’t remember a bad game he’s ever had for us when played big minutes.
Despite the gap in form between Rebic and Pjaca, I would say the same thing in favor of Pjaca. I think his technical ability (which is much better than Rebic’s) allows him to link up better with the rest of our group. Rebic is excellent for Frankfurt, but he kind of ‘plays on his own’ when he plays for us. I like the energy, and it’s good to have this off the bench, but I’m not sure if this benefits us as a full 90 minute starter.
However, I wouldn’t be devastated if Rebic started over Pjaca. However I WOULD be devastated if I saw Dalic play Mandzo or Kalinic at striker over Kramaric.
I’m afraid to say this, but my gut is telling me that Dalic will do his best Bilic impression, and accomodate Mandzo by starting him as our striker (with Kramaric moved over to RW).
I really hope I’m wrong. Kramaric up top and either one of Pjaca or Rebic at RW would be a much better option.
Some of you guys forget things too quickly.
To say Rebic only start was arguably better than anything Pjacas ever done. Pjaca was a beast last Euro against Spain. It was his leading pass that even set up the Perisic goal.
https://youtu.be/XYHB-K5kqzY
I can understand if he’s not in form but if he is ..he plays just as hard as Rebic
Rebic over Pjaca for me. I am a fan of both, but I think Rebic is the pit bull we need, and Pjaca is not 100%.
Pjaca has had flashes for NT, and a big euro club. But Rebic has made it actually happen at a big euro club, and his only start since 2014 for country was arguably better than anything Pjaca has ever done at the country level.
Man, Rebic impressesd the hell out of me today. He was under tremendous pressure on the goals. Strong powerful performance. We need a bully who can finish. He has to start over Brozovic and Pjaca. I would bench Mandzukic for Krama….we need the dogs killing for the bone up front in Russia. Rebic is a defenders nightmare.
Rebic had a good game today and obviously looks to be in good form but I’d still start Pjaca and then sub in Rebic. In my opinion Pjaca plays better for country than club.
One things for sure is on paper Croatian talent is looking pretty stacked going into the world cup.
For once our bench could be just as strong as our starters.
I always knew Kovac was a good coach with an eye for talent!
Kovac wins DFB Pokal for Frankfurt, go suck on that you dopey bastards.
@Maminjo
What a job Kovac did with Frankfurt!
Eye for talent where Rebic is concerned!
You thought he was gonna be sacked half way through his first season at Frankfurt, you were wrong!
Impressive and promising goals by rebic. The kind of goals that made him an interesting prospect. Powerful and aggressive
Unfortunately, it’s probably not going to be worth much
Dalic doesn’t have the guts to pit mandzukic on the bench, so barring injury your going to see perisic, kramaric, mandzukic
Maybe rebic has earned himself pee-ass-a’s role from the last euro
I doubt Kovač ever coaches us again. He was tarred, feathered and run out of town (and justifiably so).
I (like most people) don’t watch Frankfurt games, so whatever has made him successful… good for him. Maybe he’s a good club coach and not a National team coach. Maybe he’s good at coaching youngsters and bad coaching veterans. Who knows. But I wouldn’t want him back until he racks up 10+ years of successful coaching at club level (at a minimum).
The same goes for Bilić. Bilić’s club coaching career has been all over the place. Honestly, it’s best we just stay away from these two.
Kovač gets credit for developing Rebić though. This is the major benefit of burning our National Team World Cup games to develop coaches. They end up getting club careers later, and return the favour by signing young Croats. We burned away our 2014 World Cup and we get Rebić in return. Not a great trade but whatever, I’ll take it now.
https://www.bundesliga.com/en/news/Bundesliga/eintracht-frankfurt-s-niko-kovac-hails-dfb-cup-win-over-bayern-munich-rebic-506764.jsp
So who coaches the National team again first?
Kovac or Bilic
Super sub Mario Mandžukić ?
Dude is always up for a scoring a big time goal!
@ Slavonac
That’s forward thinking we need from you and Dalić!
@ Svima
Perišić is our best LW by a country mile.
His position is not to be debated.
Rebić on the RW gets him on the field and opens up space for skilled but slow Kramaric.
Pjaca is ready off the bench.
Let Rebić run through people and inflict his body blows.
Then Pjaca comes in with a bit more attacking flair to maybe create something special.
Man Rebić came correct today.
Kovač is plus one in my book for the resurrection of his career.
https://youtu.be/0ifVzT_ipyc
Rebic’s 2nd.
Just as nice as the first!
Speed strength composure touch.
He showed a lot of quality on those 2 strikes.
Looking like a young Brazilian Ronaldo. 😉
I agree about the hunger.
That’s the performance of a man that wants to play at the WC!
I didn’t see Rebic’s second goal but let me just say I like how he’s progressing and I’ve probably never said this before but I’ll say it now. He’s motivated and hungry, I just can’t see how it would be justified to keep him on the sidelines in this World Cup! He’s proven he’s hungry and that’s exactly what we need!
Dalic, if you’re reading this…put the man in the field, he’s definitely earned it over anyone else on the right side that I can think of! I know it’s not his position but he can still create chances based on his work rate, doors and toughness!
rebic is on form. start pjaca, see how long he lasts. bring on rebic for that power, good to keep somehing back to make a difference from the bench (i believe in pjaca).
If you play Rebic and Perisic together, one of them has to move to the right side. Both players are better on the left. If you move one of them to the right, they are weaker. No?
Unless you think one of them on right is still better than whatever else is on the right side. Bette than Mandza? yes. Better than Pjaca? Probably at this point as he comes back from that ACL tear.
It’s gotta be Perisic–Krama–Rebic up top! No Question About it!
Yeah, awesome goals by Rebic, he demonstrated Power, Pace, and Technique on both goals.
Plus he has such excellent off the ball movement: he’s able to track back and win possession, and he is great at pressing and closing down spaces. He’s just the Offensive-Defensive weapon we need.
His form is better than Pjaca at the moment, plus Rebic’s defensive work rate is overall superior to Pjaca. That’s why I’d take Perisic–Krama–Rebic up top.
for the love of god, dalic plz play perisic-krama-rebic up top
Another one! Pure hustle
That goal was even better because he stole the ball and scored from turning the ball over…that was brilliant!
Robo Rebić

Power and speed … yes please!!!
Ante rebic with the goal!
