OneFootball x Knolldoll: Croatia have enough quality to surprise the world

As part of OneFootball's collaboration series with Shoot Music we're interviewing an artist about their love of football and, over the next few weeks, it will be all about the World Cup.

This week it's Croatia superfan and DJ, Knolldoll.

How are you feeling after Croatia’s opening game against England?

Of course I’m disappointed with the result, but I’ll always support my team. I think Croatia can play much better than what we showed in the first game. At the same time, I was happy to see some of the younger players step up and show their quality. We definitely didn’t play our best football, but it’s only the first match and there are still a lot of positives to take forward.

How do you rate Croatia’s chances of reaching the knockouts still with two games remaining in Group L?

I’m very confident - it’s only the first game and there are still six points to play for. Croatia has too much quality and experience to give up after one result. I’m sure we’ll get through the group.

What’s your favourite World Cup memory as a Croatia fan?

Nothing will ever compare to the World Cup final in 2018. Watching the entire country come together and seeing our team make history was an unforgettable moment.

If Croatia are to go far this year, which one player do you think will be key to that success?

I wouldn’t pick just one player. What excites me most is the younger generation, because they have incredible talent and they’re showing great performances already. I think it’s important they get opportunities because they can make a huge difference for Croatia in this tournament.

Who do you think will win the World Cup and why?

If I didn’t believe Croatia could win the World Cup, I wouldn’t be here. Of course I believe Croatia can win it and our team has shown many times that they can surprise the world. I’m here to support Croatia all the way and I believe anything is possible.
