ZAGREB (Reuters) - Coach Zlatko Dalic was confident Croatia would make an impact at Euro 2020 despite a lacklustre performance in Sunday's 1-0 defeat by Belgium in their final warm-up for the June 11-July 11 tournament featuring 24 nations.

The Croatians have recently looked a pale shadow of the side that finished runners-up at the 2018 World Cup and following a 1-1 home draw with Armenia on Tuesday, they were fortunate not to concede more goals against Belgium.

"I am sure the English will be very aggressive from the start and we have to keep them at bay," Dalic told Croatia's Nova television after Romelu Lukaku gave the Belgians victory with his 60th international goal. Belgium missed a string of chances to win by a bigger margin as Lukaku and Yannick Carrasco hit the woodwork while Croatia keeper Dominik Livakovic pulled off several fine saves.

"We need more vertical passes, shots on goal and players making runs into the penalty area," he said.
