Garcia: Livaja was excellent
The coach of Hajduk said that his team played and looked like a team.
I think we played as a team, offensively and defensively. It can be seen progress in younger playersyou can see the connection of the players. I enjoyed watching. When we have this kind of energy, we are a good team. It’s a shame that we didn’t score earlier and that we conceded a goal at the endhe stated.

Garcia reflected on how, after the representative break, the players are rested and ready for the season to continue.
We have a few players who have traveled, but luckily the schedule is stacked so those players have more rest as well. We had the last few days to prepare. Other players who were not with the national teams are trained hardhe said.
He also touched Livaj which looks like in the best days and which happened in last few weeksreports HRT.
He played well, he trained well. When the team has that energy, he takes it over. I enjoyed watching him todaybut many times i didn’t. We have a game on Sunday and I will ask him for the same, and if he doesn’t do it I will have to react, but I don’t mean it in a bad way. He was today great as is the whole teamhe said.
