Rabat – As the countdown to the 2018 World Cup final begins, head coach of the finalist Croatian team Zlatko Dalic has compared France’s football team to Morocco’s Atlas Lions and Belgium’s Red Devils.

In a pre-match press conference, the coach recognized that the Sunday’s final game will not be easy.

“The French team has very good players. It has a strong defensive strength and is very dangerous in counterattacks like Belgium and Morocco.”

Morocco’s impressive performance stunned football fans and international commentators, who still believe that Morocco may have qualified if video assistant referee was used in its disqualifying game against Portugal on June 20.

Morocco was denied two penalties that could have changed the results and advanced the Atlas Lions to the World Cup final stages.

Speaking about the final game, Dalic said that his team will “find the energy and the motivation to make a good final.”

Croatia defeated England 2-1 in extra time and buried England’s dream of “bringing the World Cup home.”

France secured its final ticket after beating Belgium 1-0 on July 10.

France vs. Croatia final game will take place on Sunday at 4:00 p.m. at the Luzhniki Stadium.
