Discussion on Football Refereeing and Emotions
I will definitely say that the refereeing was very bad against us. Not a single foul, not a single stoppage, nothing was called for us, but I say that is no reason for us to talk about defeat. Bad refereeing, very nice, football is what brings people together, what makes people happy, what makes people proud, and I would like it to stay that way, for football to be just
on our side.
That way, and not to become a business as it has become, where the little guys don't really have a big chance.
They destroy what football used to be.
Those decisions, I'm not saying let VAR help you or let VAR hinder you, but it kills your emotions, it kills everything inside you.
It kills what you are experiencing, then takes you back to the beginning, and it's not easy to deal with all of that.
The aim is for football to be as fair and honest as possible, so those decisions are made.
We've gone too far from Kovar, there's no need. Croatia lost the match, we are sad, grieving over this, congratulations to Portugal, but I won't get into those discussions about Kovar and all of that anymore.

Original transcript (Croatian)
Definitivno ću reći da je suđenje bilo jako loše na našu stranu. Niti jednog faula, niti jednog prekida, niti ništa nije bilo četrobi za nas, ali kažem to nije razlog da mi govorimo o porazu. Loše suđenje, jako lijepo, nogomet taj koji spaja ljude, koji čini ljude sretnima, koji čini ljude ponosnima i ja bih hvalao da to ostane, da nogomet bude baš na našoj strani. Taka, a ne da postane biznis kao što je postao i di mali nemaju baš veliku šansu. Poruše se ono što je nogomet bio. Te odluke, ja ne kažem neka ti var pomogne, neka ti var odmogne, ali ubije ti emocije, ubije ti sve u tebe.
Ubije ono što doživljavaš, pa te vrati na početak i nije lako s tim se sve skupa nositi. Teži se da nogomet bude maksimalno korektan, pošten, pa se te odluke donose. Otišli smo predaleko od Kovara, nema potrebe. Hrvatska je izgubila utakmicu, mi smo tužni, žalostni nad kupati ovo, Portugal čestitam, ali da ne ulazim više u te rasprave od Kovara i svega toga.
