Argentina and Croatia are facing each other in the semi-finals of the World Cup. The war of words has started before this. Against Argentina, the main target of the opposition is to contain Lionel Messi. However, Croat forward Bruno Petkovic said they had no plans to stop Messi. 

Because their target is to block the entire Argentina team.

Petkovic said at the press conference, "We don't have a definite plan yet to stop Messi. Generally we don't plan to stop any particular player. We plan with the whole team. We want to prevent players from man-marking, but their entire team. Messi doesn't play alone in Argentina team, they have many great players. The entire Argentina team must be stopped. '

Croatia reached the semi-finals by defeating Brazil in the last eight hexa mission by 4-2 in a tiebreaker. There were no goals in the scheduled 90 minutes of the match. Brazil took the lead in the middle of extra time through Neymar's goal. Petkovic, who came on as a substitute, paid off that goal in the 117th minute. The match is decided by a tiebreaker. It will not be easy for Argentina to reach the final after winning the semi-final - that is the proof of the performance of the Croats.
