Kroatiens landstræner Zlatko Dalic sendte Nikola Kalinic hjem fra VM, efter angriberen nægtede, at blive skiftet ind i det 85. minut mod Nigeria. Nu er Kalinic så blevet gjort til grin verden over.
Det kom som et mindre chok, da Kroatiens Nikola Kalinic nægtede at blive skiftet ind i Kroatiens 2-0 sejr over Nigeria. Siden blev han sendt hjem fra VM, og han må i den grad fortryde sine handlinger efter, at Kroatien har kvalificeret sig til VM-finalen.
Se selv herunder disse sjove tweets, som gør Kalinic til grin.
ATTENTION:
I want you to meet Nikola Kalinic. He came to the World Cup as part of Croatia's squad. He's a talented striker. He reportedly refused to come in as a sub in the group stage win over Nigeria.
He was then sent home as a result.

Big call by Croatia to send Nikola Kalinic home from the World Cup after he refused to come on as a sub in first game. He'll miss a WC final now. No matter how much talent you have, it not worth risking a toxic dynamic in a dressing room.

No matter how bad you feel this morning, at least you're not Croatia’s Kalinic. He refused to come on as a late sub against Nigeria, claiming to be 'injured', he was sent home from the World Cup. and now has to watch his country play in a World Cup final from his home.
