A heavy match is waiting for us. We play against the team that is scored by Dinamo four hits And they come to Split with lots of enthusiasm. They are also difficult and a demanding opponent, but we have proven to be the past match.
Our advantage is that we play home. The only thing we can never complain about on the poljud is Our fans. Torcida is there that constantly pushes us, as is the tribune behind me.
I believe we will be in Wednesday Real supportconcluded Gennaro Gattuso, And on the question as it is the state in the team He replied:
There is no Bambe and Magey which still bother the temperature. Everyone else is ready.
Should be careful. They allow you to add, that you have a property, but when you lose the ball then they are dangerous.
They have quick players. Many goals have achieved punches outside the sixteenthers. They are very much uncomfortable Team.
The match has announced a strategist river Radomir Đalović:
The heavy match awaits us, the rain will fall in Split just as it falls in Rijeka, so there will be heavy playing field. Only before the game we will see who will be able to play, a match with a dynamo She left the consequences Well we have new problems. We are only concentrated on Poljud, we will think about the Gorica after the game.
Will be rotationbut probably forced. About specific names, of course, I wouldn’t. Great victory over the dynamo is behind us. No past work! The thickened schedule, a heavy match, but is a huge wish in my players. And those injured constantly want to play.
Duje čop He felt a problem against Dinam, that’s why I replaced him. We’ll see if they’ll be ready. He is among those whose possible playing on Poljud decide immediately before the start of the match.
The opponent has quality, experienced players. They say all the time that Hajduk in crisis, and only a point behind us. And they are encouraged by a good score.
I expect hard matchThey are aggressive, but we have trained to respond to the best possible way and hope that we will have two victories that we have to play a good match.
There is no calculation around the composition when it comes to the next league performance. Who survives until Saturday – will play! There is no other.
Below you can recall the last derby of Hajduk and Rijeka.
In the second game of the quarterfinals of the cups they meet Dinamo and Osijek That is, the second and third team championship. Both teams come from high defeats from their rivals, Dinamo has been killed at Rujevici 4: 0 While Osijek is knocked out on Polish by the same result.
In two matches this season in league both times he celebrated Osijek. In the first game at Maksimiru They were overwhelmed by Dinamo with the result 4: 2 As they celebrated home in the second game 2: 1.
Since then both teams show a pale game, and the countrymen Coppitelli and Cannavaro In the match they enter with great pressure. Dinamo hosts on Sunday Hajduk so that the victory against Osijek is important to return peace to the locker room, a Federico Coppitellion the other hand, cares for their worries.
The Italian chair is dangerously shaking, his team and fans look forward to that recent victory over the dynamium, other results and the game were not at level.
The main judge of the match will be Duje Voštukan from Split, and his assistant fellow citizens Alen Jakšić you Vedran Durak from Sv. Ivana Zeline. Antonio Melnjak It was set from the river for the fourth judge. Var judge is Ivan Bebek from Rijeka, and his assistant Mario Zebec from the cest.
What also cares both of the coaches is the condition of the locker room. With the Dinamo, it is more pronounced through the visibly bad players, but also their psychological state. Of course, injury Petkovic and Muscle Not helping, especially with constant injury to other players.
Osijek is attacked series of injuries, Coppitelli will have big problems in assembling a Cup game team. The most untrained news is the one about the severe injury young Antona Matkovic which diagnosed with knee ligamental rupture.
He is so lost for this season, and certainly for the part next. It’s terrible that news for Osijek fans, but also for every companion of the HNL. 19-year-old letter as one of The largest talents of Croatiaand such a knee ligament injury is among the most difficult to earn the player.
Emin Hasic21-year-old stopper He has been injured for a while, but now some players joined him on the hospital bench. Domagoj Bukvić will not be in the competition for the next two matches of Osijek, and for a while we will need to wait at the premiere Jona Mersinaja In Osijek’s jersey, he torment his knee
Performance on Maksimir also asked for the Nigerian attacker Justice Ohajunweaas well as for Tuiu. But that duo could be ready for Dinamo, more likely as reserves.
So, for the semifinals of the Cup Croatian trainers will not be able to count on several important players, the injuries of Modrih “destroy” since the start of the season, and now the series of injuries a serious headache has begun to be awarded and coppitelli.
Dinamo players held a meeting after debacle on the Rujevo
Match with Osijek He announced a Dinam trainer Cannavaro:
The atmosphere is not the bestbut we are professionals. Such defeats hurt very much. It is good that we can show a different face in a few days in a new game.
Fortunately, these are not the Olympic Games that you have a repair opportunity every four years. We have the opportunity to show each other every three days And that’s good for us in this situation.
We lost two matches in the championship, A lot of us cost mistakes. We must not give up when we get a red card, we must try to win. I saw the team first time the red card was so cut.
I tried to motivate players, I told them what they had to do, but didn’t go. We receive too many goals and we are not concentrated enoughWe look too much to be good with the ball in your legs, and we are too wrong and we are too wrong.
I will make replacements for the game with Osijek, we have spent, and some are not completely ready, but we will try to run in the strongest composition. Bruno Petkovic has returned from Bologna and greatly advanced as well as Muscle. Pavic It has a big problem and I don’t know when he’ll be back. Stojkovic is much better but will not play yet, a Čavlina It’s not on a hundred percent.
It is normal to fans are not satisfied. We have to do our best. When I was coming, I knew it wasn’t an ideal situation hereBut if you don’t accept the fight, you don’t know if you will survive. My whole life is a struggle, as a player I had to fight with strong players and competition, but I never gave up, I don’t want to give up on my playerandCannavaro concluded.
The match with Dinamo in the Cup announced the captain of the team Vedran Jugovic:
Sure cannot be a good atmosphere after three-tied defeats and the such occasion with Hajdukbut we have a quick next game and the opportunity to fix the situationand thus the atmosphere around you.
Where you’re going to do better than against the dunesthe current champion we have shown twice this season that we can get them.
The fact is that neither are they in some almsbut they are always – Dinamo. Let’s go with healthy and avail the brave match on Maksimir, hoping for the best he said Jugovic.
