Croatia's sudden move before the challenge with Albania

Albania and Croatia will descend on the pitch of Hamburg's Volksparkstadion at noon on Wednesday, each looking for victory, with the 3 points still keeping them in contention for a place in the last 16 of Euro2024.

Both teams are preparing to the max, but the pressure seems to have fallen on the Croatians, who suffered a shock 3-0 defeat against Spain.

Technician Zlatko Dalic, after harsh criticism from fans and sports opinion in Croatia for the tactical choices he made against the Iberians, seems to have decided to surprise with the decisions for the challenge with Albania.

For the first time in the history of the Balkan national team and a competition like the European, Dalic has decided that Croatia will not train in the stadium where the match will be played, as it normally happens the day before the match.

Guardiol changes position and Brozovic becomes a "victim", this is how Croatia can play against Albania
The Croatian coach in yesterday afternoon's training, where he had 25 players available as Nikola Vlasic was not in shape, prepared the tactics and then made the surprise decision so as not to head straight for Hamburg.

Modric and his friends will train today starting at 11:00 a.m. at the sports center selected by the Croatian Football Federation and at 4:00 p.m. they will travel by bus to Hamburg, where they will not train the day before the match.
