Late on Saturday it was learned that Ivan Perisic tested positive for coronavirus, and that is why he will not be able to be on the green of the Parken Stadion this Monday. The loss of a rival should never be cause for celebration. The less, it is ugly to be happy, more if possible when the damn COVID is involved. But at the same time, it is undeniable that the absence of Perisic it's a relief for Luis Enrique and yours.
The attacker of the Inter de Milan is, with permission from Modric, one of the main offensive weapons of the chess set. Proof of this is that it occupies third place in the classification of top scorers in the history of Croatia (only surpassed by Suker Y Mandzukic) having signed a total of 30 goals throughout his 104 caps. In fact, two of them, one in the tie against Czech Republic and another in the victory against Scotland, are responsible for Croatia passed the group stage and reached these round of 16.
But those mentioned are by no means the first important goals that Perisic has scored with Croatia. In the memory of the Balkan country, what happened on July 11, 2018 is engraved with fire, how much a double of his against England, including a goal in extra time, was worth for Croatia qualify for the final of Russia World Cup 2018. In this meeting, despite the fact that France It was triumphant, it also scored.
Growing up on the farm where his family lived, he was nicknamed 'Gallina' as a child. And soon she decided to be the one with the golden goals. As in the 2016 Euro, when a bit of his took away Spain the first place of the group, being condemned the Red one to eighths with an Italy that eliminated him. Fortunately, this time there will be no golden goal from Perisic.
