Russian national team midfielder Alexander Golovin shared his expectations about further performances at the tournament on the eve of the match with Croatia. "As for the rest of the tournament, nothing is impossible. Before the match with the Spanish national team and before the start of the tournament we realized that we can reach the finals and now we consider this as a usual thing." 

Also he shared his feelings and emotions during the match with Spanish. "Before the penalty shootout, when they chose who would beat, by that time everyone was already very tired. My legs had already been heavily stiff. I understood that I would strike with a force. I thought that De Gea would jump into a corner at some point he did not manage to form and the ball appeared in the net, "said Golovin.
