Croatia’s national football team coach, Zlatko Stanišić, revealed he advised goalkeeper Dominik Livaković about Harry Kane’s penalty-taking habits during the recent match. Stanišić stated he told Livaković that Kane was likely to shoot to the same side as in previous attempts. This advice proved insightful as Livaković saved Kane’s initial penalty attempt during the shootout. Despite this save, England ultimately won the penalty shootout, advancing to the next stage of the tournament. The coach’s disclosure offers insight into the tactical preparations undertaken by the Croatian team. The press conference where these comments were made was covered live by Index.hr.
