Croatian defender Stanley attended a Nations League press conference in Rijeka before England's home match, where he discussed his experience working with Thomas Tuchel, how to defend Kane, the Ballon d'Or voting, and the changes Bilić has brought to the team.

Thomas Tuchel praised you highly at the last press conference. You worked with him at Bayern Munich. Tell us how he manages his team and what to expect from England tomorrow.

I don't think we need much introduction to England. They've shown this summer that they're a formidable team that can't be underestimated. If I were to talk about them, I wouldn't have enough time until tomorrow. As for Tuchel, as I said earlier, he's an excellent coach. During the time he trained me, it was clear that he understands football very well.

I'd say his style of play is simple — there's no unnecessary complication. On the pitch there may be complexity, but ultimately it's straightforward and effective. So I can say I learned a lot during those periods. His managerial career also demonstrates where he's been and how many trophies he's won. Every club he's managed has improved. So I can only speak positively about him.

I have two quick questions. The first is, how are you feeling — that's the most important. The second is, when you think of England, you remember Kane. He's one of the world's best players and your teammate. What advice would you give your centre-back partners on how to control him? And the Ballon d'Or voting is a hot topic right now. Will you vote for him?

First of all, I'm doing very well. Thank you very much. Second, I will vote for Kane. The reason is simple. I see his effort every day, not just in matches. We all know he can score goals and create many chances. But his defensive contribution is also very important for our entire team. So I won't hesitate to vote for him.

As for preventing him from scoring, I want to say that no matter where the ball is, you must always be aware of his position. Because ultimately the ball will reach him, and he needs only a second to score. He knows where to shoot. So the most important thing is to always pay attention to where the ball is and where he is, how his positioning changes. Because he knows when and where he needs to be to score after receiving the ball.

Luka Vuskovic said at yesterday's press conference that tomorrow's match will be quite different, very different from the World Cup match in Dallas. One of the key reasons he mentioned was a change in defensive system. He said, "Back then we played with three or five defenders." Do you see this as a notably different match? What does this change mean for you? People analyze the differences between four-back and three-back systems. How much does this affect your performance? What do you think? Could this be a decisive factor in some matches?

I think every match is different, and tomorrow will be no exception. As he said, we played with three or five defenders back then. The tactics are different, not just how we play with the ball, but also how we play without it. So tomorrow's match will be very interesting.

For me personally, whether we play with three or four defenders doesn't matter much. Our responsibility is to execute what the coach needs and implement his ideas on the pitch. That's what we'll do tomorrow. In a match involving so many high-level players, everything depends on everyone's performance that day, and a bit of luck is also involved. At the same time, it depends on who wants it more and who can show that desire on the pitch. Ultimately, the quality of one or two scoring opportunities in front of goal will determine whether the ball goes in or not.

As we said a moment ago, the match will be different. We're certain that Spain's style of play will be different from what we expect from England. Another difference for tomorrow's match is that there won't be a full stadium, but around five thousand children and two hundred English supporters. From your perspective on the pitch, how much will this audience composition affect the game? Thank you.

For me, it won't have much effect. It might affect England more. They come here and have to face a full stadium; they hear our supporters' voices, so it will certainly be different for them. So now both sides are dealing with this factor.

Yes, we all want to play in front of our supporters. It's not just for them, but for us as well. Because we know that in matches like these, our supporters give us a lot of support and push us forward. Unfortunately, that won't be the case tomorrow. But whatever the circumstances, we'll do our best.

I'd like to ask about my coach Slaven Bilić. We know him well from England. After taking over from Zlatko Dalic and returning to this position, tell us what impact he's had on the team.

I think after he arrived, our style of play has noticeably changed. His football philosophy is different from what we had before. At the same time, I see the experience he gained from managing in other countries over the years. Beyond that, his extensive life experience shows he knows what's important both in life and on the pitch. So this is the most important factor so far, and I think it's the most profound thing I feel at this moment.

Tomorrow's four referees are all German and have all worked in the Bundesliga. In particular, the head referee Sven Jablonski has officiated your matches at Bayern Munich. Tell us about him. Do you have a good impression, or not?

To be honest, I don't remember who refereed my matches. So I can't comment on him. We hope they make good decisions for us.
