On Sunday, Hajduk players welcome Lokomotiva to Poljud. Gonzalo Garcia’s team wants to wash away the bitter taste in their mouths that remained from the previous two defeats against Rijeka and Dinamo. The coach of Hajduk spoke about the situation in the club, but also around the club, at the press conference on Friday.
Garcia commented the situation with the playersbut he also touched on Marko Livaja.
They are all professionals and have to work. I think so no one thought that the goal was the title. Everyone is motivated and must continue to grow. We are far behind. I never thought we would be champions. This is the process, I already explained. We want to play like a big club, not a small one. And develop young players. We want to show your face in Europe. Those are the goals. We want to score as many points as possible. We believe in Livaj. He didn’t play much in the last gamesaid Garcia and continued: We needed it a lot of energy and pressing against Dinamo and Rijeka. Other players’ features are better for those things. But that means nothing to Marko. He has to work like everyone else. If anyone is not motivated, then should not be here.
Injuries ravaged Poljud, and Garcia discovered that injured another player.
With the same injured, the new one is Hodak. He won’t be there for a while, the last lodge is at stake. It will be out for three to four weeks. We want to beat everyone and give our best. If we don’t play as a team, we will have problems. They trained very well. Today we reduced the intensity a bit because the players were tired. It’s not easy to lose the way we lost in Rijeka. It was different against Dinamosaid the Spaniard.
In recent days, there has been a lot of talk about new stadium and camp for the Split club. The Spaniard gave his opinion the whole situationit says HRT.
The team should new training areathat’s clear. During the week sometimes we cannot use the fields. That’s great news for the club and the city. For the coach, it is important that the team has the right conditions because that is how the players progress. That is the reality. This is not street football, this is professionalism.
He also answered the question whether he thinks he will go to Hajduk experience the new stadium.
They said they’d finish it in 2032, didn’t they? I don’t know when they will finish itGarcia replied with a laugh.
In the end, Garcia also referred to Lokomotiv team.
That’s it very dangerous team. We played well against them last time at home. We have to be more energetic without the ball, and calmer with the ball. That’s allconcluded the coach of Hajduk.
