When on international duty, a £2 million Rangers star was acclaimed as the “Best in Europe.”
Rangers’ star When representing Croatia at the international level, Borna Barisic is receiving high praise for his relationship with Ivan Perisic, which gives Croatia the “best left side in Europe right now.”
Jurica Vranjes, a former midfielder for Croatia, at least came to that conclusion after watching her team overcome Latvia 5-0 and then Armenia 1-0 during the September international break.
Borna Barisic, a Rangers player, was given a start against Armenia after coming off the bench and helping Andrej Kramaric late in the game against Latvia with one of his trademark vicious free kicks.
And according to Vranjes, it is no coincidence that Barisic’s return to the starting lineup coincided with one of Croatia’s best performances of the qualification stage, with that narrow-looking one-goal victory over Armenia being out of character for a performance that saw the visitors muster nearly 30 shots and control 68% of the possession.
Borna Barisic of Rangers excels in Croatia’s victory
Borna Barisic playing at left back, in my opinion, was the key to the victory because he complements (Ivan) Perisic much better, says Vranjes to Danas; the £2 million veteran from Rangers allowed the Tottenham veteran to advance into a more offensive role.
With Josko Gvardiol at the top, Barisic at left back, Perisic in front of him in attack, and (Luka Ivanusec), we have a fantastic national team right now. Right now, Croatia’s left side is the finest in Europe.
Barisic has done absolutely no harm to his chances of playing for Croatia under Dalic by outperforming teammate left-back Borna Sosa and helping Croatia maintain their lead in Group D.
“High quality”
“Borna Barisic has been playing at a serious level for years in Glasgow,” Vranjes continues.
We have superior products. With the caliber of this team, I predict that Croatia will truly explode in Germany.
One of the most important players in the top left-side structure in all of Europe is Borna Barisic.
The Rangers left-back overcame injury concerns to make an impression against Armenia on Tuesday in a 1-0 Euro 2024 qualifying victory. Barisic has a lot of Premier League quality surrounding him with Ivan Perisic of Tottenham playing in front and Josko Gvardiol of Manchester City playing as the left center-back.
The 29-year-old’s contribution to the Armenian triumph, according to Croatian hero Jurica Vranjes, was crucial, and his placement there with Gvardiol, Perisic, and midfielder Luka Ivanusec creates the continent’s finest left side of the field that is sure to have an effect in Germany. He said to net.hr: “In my opinion, Borna Barisic playing at left back was the key to the victory since he works much better with Perisic.
I saw that in We have a wonderful national team when Borna plays with Perisic on the left side, and we now have that left side, starting with left goalkeeper Gvardiol, Barisic on the left defender, Perisic in front of him in attack, and Ivanusec.
The best left side in Europe right now belongs to Croatia. Gvardiol is a machine that we have there that conducts what he requires and carries everything from behind.
“Borna Barisic has been performing professionally in Glasgow for years. Perisic is a complete player who gives 200 percent of himself in both directions. Ivanusec is improving steadily, and he will
be much better if he moves to a league with more competition, and this situation is excellent for him.
With France having a significantly greater population and talent pool, Croatia is now the greatest national team in Europe, second only to that country.
“They can put together three powerful national teams, but we have the best,” said the speaker. I think Croatia, and the caliber of this team, will really explode in Germany.
