Croatia’s coach Niko Kovac has announced his provisional squad for the upcoming World Cup which includes: Luka Modric, Mario Mandzukic and Eduardo as some of the standout players of the team.
Shakhtar Donetsk’s Eduardo is a Brazilian forward who plays for Croatia after picking up a Croatian citizenship in 2002 and he has expressed his emotions about making his World Cup debut in his native country of Brazil.
“Accepting the invitation to play for Croatia was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. But I never could have imagined that I, as a Brazilian, could be given a chance to play in the World Cup opener. In football, the impossible becomes possible.” Eduardo said.
