Dejan Lovren wants to rely on his Croatia teammates like he did in Liverpool

Reds defender Dejan Lovren has revealed Croatia’s World Cup run reminds him of Liverpool’s dream run to the Champions League final. Croatia concede just one goal in three games and now they will face the hosts in the quarter-final. Lovren said: “This feeling is still here and I believe in it. “Like I did with Liverpool in the Champions League, I believe it with my teammates at Croatia, also” Lovren added: “It’s not the same players, not the same tactics, a different way of playing to Liverpool but I have had this feeling from the beginning that we can achieve a lot. “In all these years, the atmosphere between us, and outside, it’s totally different to the previous years. It was like, you know, I didn’t feel we believed in each other. There were always some exceptions. But this time we are in peak of form and it’s our time, I think." Croatia go further into the tournament having beaten Nigeria, Argentina and Iceland in Group D. Dejan Lovren wants to rely on his Croatia teammates like he did in Liverpool
