- The national team should stop being a testing ground for players. Players are not created in the national team, but in the clubs. We need to stop with that point. See France and Denmark. Play the best. It is difficult to enter the national team, and even harder to leave. That's how it should be. It does not matter how old the player is, but how he plays. If the best play, Croatia will return to the top - said Metlicic.
