Info about the fever 39 degrees before the semi-final against England but still playing, was revealed by Ivan Rakitic after the game. He did not say no to anyone, because on the pitch, the Rakitic moved as hard as any other Croatian warrior, without any signs of fatigue.

The new statistics startled because of the intensity of the Rakitic. Including the final against France, which is sure Rakitic will play, the Barcelona player has kicked a total of 71 games since the beginning of the 2017/18 season - more than any player in the world. In these 70 games, Rakitic "plowed" 55 games for Barcelona (35 in La Liga, 10 in the Champions League, 8 in the King's Cup, 2 in the Spanish Super Cup), 15 for Croatia. Rakitic has been playing for Croatia on September 2, 1717 (Croatia won Kosovo 1-0). The Brazilian's Willian (70) and South Korea's Son Heung-min (68) are listed below.

Rakitic does not show signs of fatigue. He is the sixth player in the World Cup, losing to Croatia's Luka Modric and Dejan Lovren; and three England players (Jordan Pickford, John Stones and Harry Maguire). Further statistics, the number of kilometers has moved from the beginning of the World Cup to now, Rakitic poorly for every teammate Luka Modric of Croatia. Modric has moved 63 km from the beginning of the tournament, this number of Rakitic is ... 62.8.

This information shows the respectable warrior spirit of Ivan Rakitic in particular and the Croatian team in general. Representing the country with a population of only 4 million people, as well as the youngest team in the World Cup (only FIFA recognized in 1993), Croatia is always fighting the spirit of the warriors. They do not take the artist Luka Modric, the team's best player, as a model. They took the fighting spirit of Mario Mandzukic, whom coach Zlatko Dalic described as the "soul" of the team, motivated. Naturally, the Rakitic or Modric warriors did not show up in the face and the shocking shocks like Mandzukic. It is present in standard passes, even when it is stretched. When physically exhausted, Rakitic and his allies burned mental energy to maneuver.

France on Croatia in the finals this time. But a Croatian team was scary when it was set up at the bottom. After the semi-final 2, Luka Modric laughed at the British media for "daring" to scorn Croatia. France must be very careful. After a marathon of 70 matches from the start of the season, Ivan Rakitic and his team-mates will shed all their energy to play a match.

The heart of Croatia
On television, coach Slaven Bilic commented: "Luka Modric is the eyes and Ivan Rakitic is the heart of the Croatian team." This is reasonable in terms of statistics on opportunities. Modric created 16 chances for Croatia in the World Cup, almost double the Rakitic (8).
