Davorin Olivari, writes for Croatian Sports Daily Newspaper, Sportske Novosti, and was in Russia for the 2018 FIFA World Cup final draw. He fielded questions from Completesportsnigeria’s KAYODE OGUNDARE moments after the draw at the State Kremlin Palace in Moscow. Here are excerpts from the chat…
What do you think about this draw, pitting your country against Nigeria, Argentina, and Iceland in one group?
My opinion is that it is one of the most interesting groups at the World Cup, and this has got nothing to do with the fact that my country is in the group. We all know Argentina and their World Cup pedigree. They have the most high profile players of all the teams in the group, including the incredible Lionel Messi. They have won two World Cups before and they reached the final of the last one in Brazil 2014. So Argentina is the team to beat in the group.
You seem to think very highly of the Argentines.
