Ivan Rakitić

[Darko]

Shame we don't need a player who sprays long balls and charges forward from deep.

Very good performance today against Italy. Dominated the midfield for Croatia. Shown his full potential.

Hope that I'll be able to find some highlights

He was very good last night.
This is the only decent video currently on youtube:

But it shows only 2 Goals, nothing more.

Those flares dough, pathetic. It's like we're back in the 80s/90s again.

20 - Croatia's Ivan Rakitic has created 20 chances in #Euro2016 so far; more than any other player

 

[Sumlit]

He was played more advanced vs Italy, at least until Modric got injured, and as a result was more impactful on the offensive side.

1 assist, 4 key passes, 4 dribbles. He is a good offensive player when he is allowed freedom and is played in an offensive position.

Yeah, but let's keep playing him as a second RB...

He almost had second assist at the end of the game, but Perisic missed a clear-cut chance. All in all, a very good performance. I hope Luis Enrique watched the game.

I doubt he has time. He's at work all day.

Rakitics is playing more like a RB then alves :/, Really sad. That"s wasting his talents.

 

[Andrew M]

Tactically, it's displeasing

Happy with his performance in 1st half. Building his confidence...
