The euro is unpredictable, but in today's premiere everything is at the Croatian side, except the Irish spirit, and experienced Italian coach. Under Irish facade hides a limited team, which not too many Irish journalists do not believe, believe only in the chemistry of Giovanni Trapattoni and the memory of Jack Charlton, who in 1988. The celebrated Irish, winning at the start of England's European Championship. Irish dream rerun. As we live in times of coherence ', as the Irish football fans, which in Poznan will be about 20,000, remembered 1988th year. In front of Croatian national team in qualifying, which overtaken four countries from third world football - Armenia, Slovakia, Macedonia and Andorra.
This is a veteran team, which is dominated by players who are not even in the leading roles in top clubs. This team is twice cheaper than the Croatian, the Croatian assessment Transfermarkt worth 184 million, and the Irish are estimated at 95,500.000 euros.
The most expensive player they Aiden McGeady, who earns the bread of Spartak Moscow, and the market value of his nine million euros. Our Luka Modric is among the world's most expensive player, his price is 39,000.000 euros, a "spare" player Niko Kranjcar has just been sold to Dinamo Kiev for seven million a year will earn 2.5 million. Who in this experiment, it should be in fear?This is the story of five duels, which will decide the match. Or will materially affect the outcome. When we are engaged in the forecast, while natežući for the Irish, and that Croatia was stronger. Because Cole is a better player than Richard Dunnea, Luka Modric from Aiden McGeadyja and Dario Srna from Damien Duff. We allowed the goalkeeper Shay Given slightly better than Jens Lehmann (although this is questionable), but only out of courtesy we are in a duel Robbie Keane - Nikica Jelavic given point over the Irish striker, who earns the bread in Los Angeles. When only the sum of market value of five key players from both teams, and this comparison is all on the Croatian side - our five players worth 67,500.000, and the Irish opponents of only 25 million. But money may not be decisive ...Rule will be an inspiration Luka Modric. If you will be inspired by today's match, all the tactical ideas of Giovanni Trapattoni will fall into the water. Irish fantasist have such caliber, I doubt that he can compete at all McGeady. It's the same thing in the duel of two wing ofenzivaca Dario Srna and Damien Duff, 33-year-old former Chelsea footballer first Mourinho era, whose career has for several years, "goes downhill." Accuracy and Srninog centaršuta free kick against which the quality or Trapattoni has come up with an antidote. Although he was 73 years.Slaven Bilic with great respect about Trapattonijevoj tactics. His style is known throughout the world, will always play with four players in the last line, connecting two defensive, two wing ofenzivca and two attackers. There is too much wisdom, there is not much reason to fear, especially when you compare the key players. Bilic can not go wrong only in the composing team, which decimated some sense into the match. The whole story will most miss Alex Burke, Croatia was left with no quality defensive players. But it should not be crucial in this game.
