Gareth Southgate wants his England side to use Croatia taunts as motivation

Defender Tin Jedvaj, who scored twice in the team’s 3-2 win against Spain, believes Croatia are favourites to win.In Russia, we proved that we could beat them without any problems and that they arent better than us,” he said.We might even be favourites despite the fact we are playing away I dont know. Our late goal against Spain is the motivation for us to go for a win against England. They are England but we can win and top the group.”Dejan Lovren, meanwhile, has promised to get ‘stuck into’ the Three Lions.However, Southgate is urging his team to use the words as a advantage at Wembley.Whenever people speak, you give the opposition the opportunity to use those words as they see fit,” the England manager said.You always have to be conscious of how your words can provide motivation to the opposition. Against Croatia, its all about how our mindset is for the game.Weve got to play bloody well theyre a good team both with and without the ball and weve got to be spot on.”It was Croatia, who had ironically accused England of being disrespectful before the World Cup semi-final back in July, with Luka Modric particularly vocal following Croatia’s extra-time victory.2

Luka Modric had plenty to say at the World Cup

People were talking English journalists, pundits from television. They underestimated Croatia tonight and that was a huge mistake.“All these words from them we take, we were reading and we were saying: OK, today we will see who will be tired. They should be more humble and respect their opponents more.”Should England win today they will go through as Group A4 winners, while the losers face relegation.
