GLASGOW, Italy: Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic's tactical switch at halftime revitalised his side in their 1-1 draw with Czech Republic in the European Championship on Friday, but his selection from the start left his team looking flat in attack.
Rebic has scored with just one of his last 32 shots for his country since a goal against Argentina at the 2018 World Cup. Lack of confidence showed in the first half as he sliced his side's only real opportunity wide from a good position. Dalic acted at the break, with Petkovic on through the centre, and the tactical move immediately bore fruit, as it allowed Ivan Perisic to switch to his preferred left-hand side, scoring a fine equaliser early in the second half.Perisic has now scored in each of his last four major international tournaments , becoming the first Croatian to score in four separate such tournaments.
