Lovren also gave his version of events from the Hungary incident, and claimed that he warmed up as he would with Liverpool, but the Croatian coaching team took issue with it.
"I always get angry when the media comes out with half-truths so, to tell you what happened, the conditioning coach came to me and told me to go and warm up for 10 to 15 minutes," Lovren said.
"I said okay and I started to warm up. After 15 minutes, when I finished warming up, I began to get cold because I didn't have a jacket so went back to the bench." "Then, after a minute, the fitness coach comes again and asks me, 'So why did you sit on the bench?' I tell him he said to warm up for 10 to 15 minutes and I did it." "Then he immediately said that to Cacic. Look, nobody in the world does not work (after so) long warming up.""At Liverpool, when warmed up, we enter the game or after 15 minutes go back to the bench." Whether Lovren is right or not seems irrelevant at this point, he may need to significantly row back on his comments if he wants to play at Euro 2016.
