Croatia fear England’s ‘master of the game’ Harry Kane – here’s why

  • Croatian defender Duje Caleta-Car has stated that his team is ready to face England 's Harry Kane , whom he described as a 'master of the game', in their World Cup opener on Wednesday.
  • The Group L match, a highly anticipated fixture, is scheduled to take place at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium.
  • Caleta-Car expressed admiration for Kane's movement and positioning during their previous encounter at the European Championship, even though the striker did not score in that game.
  • Croatia , who eliminated England in the 2018 World Cup semi-finals but lost 1-0 to them at Wembley in the European Championship, are anticipating a tough challenge.
  • The defender stressed the importance of implementing their coach's tactical plans and denying England's skilled individual players space to influence the outcome of the match.
