As La Roja prepare for their last game of the group stage, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 midfielder has cautioned his side against the Spurs’ footballer.
Spain’s Juan Mata has emphasized that Croatia’s Luka Modric is the basic threat faced by the Spanish national side.
Mata believes that the Croats cannot be written off, especially considering the fact that they have players such as Modric on board.
The player, who is being linked to a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid, is probably the most prominent player on the Croatia national team.
The Tottenham Hotspur player has managed to prove his significance with the Blazers, representing the side as their captain during the Euro 2012 campaign.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Del Bosque’s men will take up the challenge of the Vatreni in their last game of the Euro 2012 group stage on Monday.
Slaven Bilić’s men are desperately in need of all three points if they are to progress to the quarter-finals of the Euro, given that Italy lose out their game against the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Republic-of-Ireland-c2987.
Croatia’s chances of qualifying for the knock out stage greatly depend on Italy’s outcome against Ireland. At the moment, the Blazers are in pole position to qualify even if they secure a draw; however, it is imminent that Italy do not win their match.
Pundits believe that the Blazers will most probably crash out against the Spaniards and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 will be able to defeat the Boys in Green with ease.
On the other hand, Mata has shed light on his side’s concerns ahead of Monday’s fixture. The playmaker has stressed that Modric carries a real threat which can cause harm to Del Bosque’s men.
While talking to reporters, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 player was quoted as saying:
"Croatia are playing very well. They have very good players that I know from the Premier League. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857 is dangerous and we will have to keep a close eye on him."
"We are going for the win. That is what we always do. We are in good form and looking forward to this game. We know the fans are enthusiastic and they expect another win."
