How did Croatia make football so awesome?

Croatia's football is so strong, mainly because their geographical conditions have trained talents. Croatia is a country located in the Balkans of Europe. Although Croatia has a total population of just over 4 million and is only a small and medium-sized country in Europe, its football is very powerful. In the last World Cup, Croatia won the runner-up and was a well-deserved dark horse. In this World Cup, Croatia's performance is equally amazing. Did not enter the semi-finals, directly eliminated Brazil. I personally think that the reason why Croatian football is so powerful is historical. First of all, in the Balkans where Croatia is located, all these countries have certain football traditions. There have been many football superstars in history, such as Bo Ban, savicevic and Suker. Croatian football itself originated from Yugoslavia, which has always been a typical football power in the last century. The training system of football talents and the emphasis on football are the reasons why Croatian football can be so powerful. On the other hand, Croatia pays attention to the development of its own leagues. For example, Diamo Zagreb, a traditional club in Croatia, is very famous in Europe and has trained many football superstars. Moreover, Croatia itself has an atmosphere of loving football, and football has a good mass base in this country. All Croatian citizens like to take part in football. Therefore, these factors have become an important reason why Croatian football can rise in the world and achieve excellent results.
