Terry not out for revenge
Related Articles
07 January 2008
England were beaten 2-0 in the same city in October 2008 in a European Championship qualifier after a limp performance on the back of the 3-5-2 formation employed by the then coach Steve McClaren with Michael Carrick sitting in front of the defence.
But current captain Terry and former skipper Beckham are adamant the focus is all on the present and not previous encounters as England look to build on their ultimately comfortable 2-0 win over Andorra in Barcelona.
Terry said: "We owe them one - but it is a fresh campaign, a fresh start. Of course, what happened two years ago is at the back of the players' minds.
"But it is not revenge that we are looking for, it's three points again just like against Andorra. It will be two massive results if we win over there - and that is what we are aiming to do."
Beckham, who was replaced in the starting line-up against Andorra by Theo Walcott, said: "We have to forget about what has gone on in the past.
"This is the present, this is 2008 not 2006, and we have to work towards what we want to achieve in this qualifying group and it is about getting a good performance and a good result in Zagreb.
"We know it is going to be a very tough game and a different challenge from Saturday night."
