Igor Stimac believes that the Serbian Nemanja Matic return stronger than in March, when Croatia won in Zagreb in a World Cup qualifier.
"Serbia is stronger than in March. Matic has brought quality defensive midfielder. Moreover, when you have a lot of players in a club, such as those in Benfica, it is clear that games together," said Stimac told reporters in Zagreb.
Croatia in March wins with 2-0, and on Friday will meet again with the team Serbia, this time in Belgrade.
"We will play on the road, we will not have the pressure to animate the crowd. We'll be ready, not thinking about the problems of Serbian and try to fix their own things that have not been good. Neither will listen or watch what is going on in the stands," said Stimac.
Coach of Croatia in Belgrade will bring 23 players. Among them there Šildenfelda Gordon and Milan Badelj, and there are injured Mateo Kovacic and John Strinić.
"The situation is as expected: the fallen Šildenfeld and Badelj, we have 23 players perished Strinić and Kovacic. (...) A day or two we'll see if we need to hire someone new. We have two groups of players - those who played, and those who have less playing time with their clubs, "said Stimac.
