1st Phase of Construction
Dynamics
Croatia opts to start the offensive process with 2 players – the center backs.The midfielders support with a passing line.Modric and Badelj tend to be one touch players and they progress with that intention. If Kovacic is called, he opts to conduct more often than passing the ball.
The full backs play wide open, specially the captain Srna.This gives Croatia more width to open the defense and create more space for Modric or Rakitic to show in the passing lines and create more variety.
If the pressure is high, the ball is often in Corluka who plays direcly to the wings for Perisic or Brozovic.
Combinations: Center back with MidfieldersCenter back with Wingers

1st Phase of Construction – 1st Pass Statistics
Dynamics
When Croatia recovers the ball, usually plays it short.They have two different approaches – ball in the middle to start their offensive process, or ball directly in the wing to explore the counter attack.The stats show that they play more often forwards than backwards when they conquer the ball.

2nd Phase of Construction
Dynamics
Rakitic has a main role here. He can go free, searching for the spaces between the defense and create the dynamic to go further in the field.Usually he opts to conquer space with conduction, but varies a lot his game.Modric supports more this stage than Badelj, who’s concerned with the balance if they lose the ball.The wingers can make 2 different moves: first they can play closer to the line giving width and exploring the ball on the space upfront; secondly they can play inside, opening space for Srna and Strinic.Mandzukic sometimes shows up in the line creating space for Rakitic and Modric so they can be closer to the area – both have great long distance shoot.

Goal Creation
Dynamics
With a big pace during the game, Croatia puts some pressure on the finishing area.They opt for the cross – Perisic and Srna are both specialists in this field, and Mandzukic is a great header. The pressure on the second ball with Modric-Rakitic-Badelj getting more upfront than the average team, creates an extra danger in the last third of the field.When they search the middle with Rakitic, the winger plays wide open, and creates interior movements to the goal, exploring the ball on the back of the defense.

Goal Creation - Cross Statistics
Dynamics
Although they play often from both sides, it’s on the right side, with Srna, that more crosses to the area emerge. Srna variates with crosses to the first post and the back of the defense.

Goal Creation - Statistics
Dynamics
As we can see, they create a lot of shooting opportunities outside the box. This is due to the second balls and the late crosses.
They’re much more effective inside the box though, result of Mandzukic and Perisic mostly.

Negative Offensive Statistics
Dynamics
When they opt for direct play, they loose efficiency as expected.This resulted in a big number of lost balls in their own midfield that can be dangerous if the opponent uses a counter attack play style. The higher number against Spain is explained by the intention of putting the ball on the back of the full backs that play with a lot of depth.

Offensive Transition
Dynamics
In this particular moment, Croatia has two ways of solving it:-They can progress with conduction, trying to solve the problem individually, or they use short pass combinations and vary the side of the ball quickly.
When they face this type of situation, Rakitic and Perisic are the ones to pressure. They’re the ones the team is looking for in the counter attack.

Defensive System
Dynamics
They change a bit in the defensive process.
Rakitic goes along with Mandzukic for the first pressure zone, trying to close the lines for the oppponent´s center backs.
At the same time Brozovic and Perisic close the space along with Modric and Badelj creating a 1-4-4-2 system that can change when the opponent gets inside their lines.
The defensive line stays together and the dynamic is low. The midfielders follow the attackers even if they change position with a teammate, this means that they’re always compensating movements from each other.
Mandzukic doesn’t go behind the opponent´s center backs, putting pressure for the counter attack.

Defensive System – Forward
Dynamics
They don’t try to block the man with the ball, closing the passing lines until they got in the pressure zone they want to.
Rakitic does this perfectly, sufocating the opponent when they get on one side.
Mandzukic controls the ball trajectory to close passing lines, getting forward if the ball gets inside the pressure zone or between Croatia’s lines.

Defensive Transition – Midfield
DynamicsThe two center midfielders play in line with each other defining the space between them and the defense – usually they have the lines close to each other making it hard to create space in the middle.
The wingers support this movements, helping to close the space in the pressure zone.
Rakitic can go back and help in the center to create numeric advantage. It’s really important for them this habilty of Rakitic to play longside with Mandzukic, continuing to help when the opponent gets closer to the goal.

Defensive System – Defense
Dynamics
The defense sticks really close not creating space between them that can be explored by the attackers.
When the ball is on the line, the winger of the opposite side, closes the space inside, and the full back of the same side, closes the space behind the midfield, keeping their defense really tight and with the hability to be in advantage all the time.
The space to explore against Croatia is the space in the back of the center midfielders. The wingers react when the ball gets to the opposite side, not when it’s on the middle. That’s the space that can unbalance them.

Defensive Statistics – Crosses Against
Dynamics
They don’t conceed a lot of crosses, due to the facts explained above. The players concentration is very effective.
If there’s space for the cross, the opponent should explore the first post, due to the space between the full back on the ball and the center back covering him.

Defensive Statistics
Dynamics
As we can see, it’s ouside the box that you can surprise Croatia. The space in the middle can be unbalanced and be taken to create danger for Subašić.

Defensive Statistics – Recovered Ball
Dynamics
As Croatia prefers to make high pressure, they try to take the ball up in the field closer to the goal. The defensive transition is effective as we can see, and the recover of the ball is really high on the pitch.
The average of balls recovered in this transition is high, meaning they can create a lot of moments with the opponent’s defense unbalanced.

Defensive Statistics - Discipline
Dynamics
The definition of the pressure zone can be identified also by the heat map that shows us where the team is more agressive. The right side with Brozovic and Srna (the ones who cross more on the team, due to the fact that they put more pressure here), shows us they like to bring the opponents to this side and then suffocate the space with the ball.
