Chelsea star Mateo Kovacic has been providing the Croatia squad with 'insights' on his English team-mates as they bid to down England in the Euro 2020 opener. His team-mate Mount set up Kai Havertz's winner, while full backs James and Chilwell both had excellent games and all three will be huge threats to Croatia. We've been working on it this week, defensively and offensively, trying everything out and we will see what the team is suited to. That winning mentality will be key to Croatia - who boast Champions League winner Kovacic, as well as former Ballon d'Or winner Luka Modric. They also have right-back Sime Vrsaljko, whose Atletico Madrid side won LaLiga, and Inter Milan star Marcelo Brozovic fresh off their Serie A title victory.
