SOUNDBITE: (Croatian) Niko Kovac, Croatia coach:

"I am not losing sleep. I have had six months time to study Brazil's national side. Particularly at the training camp we have prepared our players and our captain to come up with an answer to Neymar. He is a world class player - amongst the three top players in the world. We know what awaits us. But let me reiterate - Brazil is not just Neymar. There are so many good players in the Brazilian side but I would like to say that the little Croatia also boasts excellent World Cup players. I think that Brazil are also thinking about us. I personally think that Mr. Scolari may be losing sleep when thinking about playing Croatia."
