The Croatian representative commented on the recent match, suggesting that the outcome would have been similar regardless of the opponent, whether it was Poznań, Crvena Zvezda, or any other competing team. He noted that while the desire to perform differently was present, Dinamo proved to be superior across all aspects of play. A primary concern highlighted was the team’s execution on the pitch.
The coach suggested that the players did not exhibit their usual standard of football. He posited that while the squad could potentially withstand a much larger deficit, the performance was marred by avoidable errors in both receiving and distributing the ball. He acknowledged that at this competitive level, facing an opponent like Zagreb Dinamo, such mistakes are heavily penalized.
Despite the overall performance issues, the speaker gave credit to the goalkeeper, Tomas [Švedkauskas], for making several critical saves that prevented the team from conceding even more goals. Concluding his remarks, the coach stated that the superior team earned the victory, and the immediate focus must now shift entirely to the championship match scheduled for Saturday. He quantified Dinamo’s dominance by noting that the opponent controlled possession for approximately 70% of the match time, indicating a significant disparity in control during the contest.
