I really do not want to comment too much this match. Zagreb is at bottom with those kids in first eleven and it will not help Borimir Perkovi? his comment .. "oh they are hg" ... who gives a fck about that? Than i guess he can go play against Real Madrid and say something like that, he better watch what he is saying ... i do not like to be mad and this fucking shit already made me little fcked and i belive my players can confirm that. We are going out on field at Kranj?evi?eva, not for three points but to put three in net.
You sayed Mudrazija is their weakest point..
I sayed shit.. i sayed whole fucking team is weak point.
Ok, and who do your or what part of field you consider most dangerous.
I would say there are two or most three players which are solid, one in defense one in midfield and since i didnt want to give the name i consider their best player is Goalkeeper Dominik Livakovi? who have great future for sure but he is not my concern but my players concern, they will shot the ball into net. That is what i want to see, nothing else.
Zagreb standing on bottom of league and their players are boosted by your speech after Slaven Belupo?
Kids? Boosted... well than i think Perkovi? will have extra job. Thank you.
Will you attack from start?
Kinda, no, we are preparing for away meeting against Slovan Bratislava and this will be perfect match to try what we can do in term of defense and keep opponent frustrated.
Will you save same players out off field to be ready in Slovakia?
Yes, there will be rotations and also space for players which i didnt see on pitch to show what they can do.
ŠK Slovan Bratislava (Slovak pronunciation: [?slo?an ?bracisla?a], "Bratislava Slav") is a football club based in Bratislava, Slovakia, that plays in the Slovak Super Liga. Founded as 1. ?sŠK Bratislava in 1919, the club changed its name to Slovan Bratislava in 1953. Slovan is the most successful team in Slovakia with the most titles in both league and cup in the country.
Slovan Bratislava became the first and so far only club in Slovakia as well as former Czechoslovakia to win one of the European cup competitions, the Cup Winners' Cup when they defeated FC Barcelona in the final in Basel in 1969. The club also supplied seven players to the victorious UEFA Euro 1976 Czechoslovak team.
Early years
Slovan was founded on 1 April 1919 in the Panonia Café in Bratislava, as I.?sŠK Bratislava (the First Czechoslovak Sports Club Bratislava). The first president was Police Captain Richard Brunner, who arranged the club's first temporary training ground at Kuchajda (Pasienky). The club soon moved to Petržalka.
Czechoslovak league
The team name changed again in 1948, to Sokol NV Bratislava. The team met with success in 1949, when they became the first champions of the re-formed Czechoslovakia. Outstanding players from this era included Emil Pažický, Gejza Šimanský, Bozhin Laskov, Viktor Tegelhoff, and Teodor Reimann.
Anton Bulla, the coach in 1953, added eight new players to team. In 1961–62 the team defeated Red Star Bratislava in the national league for the title. Under the influence of political and economic pressures and interests, TJ ÚNV Slovan and TJ Dimitrov merged to create CHZJD Slovan Bratislava on 5 August 1961 (CHZJD stood for the Juraj Dimitrov Chemical Plant).

1962 was a successful year, as the Czechoslovakia national team were defeated 3–1 in the 1962 FIFA World Cup Final in Chile, obtaining the silver, and repeating the success of the 1934 FIFA World Cup Final in Rome. Slovan players included goalkeeper Viliam Schrojf and defender Ján Popluhár.

Slovan ended the 1967–68 season second in the league, won the cup in Czechoslovakia, and participated in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. The team was managed by former Slovan player Michal Vi?an, who focused on fast and simple games. Vi?an took the team on a winter tour of Argentina in 1969.
On 21 May 1969 the team defeated FC Barcelona in the 1969 European Cup Winners' Cup Final by a score of 3–2. Some of the players on the team were ?udovít Cvetler, Vladimír Hrivnák, Ján ?apkovi?, Karol Jokl, Alexander Horváth, Jozef ?apkovi?, and Alexander Vencel.

In 1970 the Czechoslovak squad sent to the FIFA World Cup in Mexico included seven players from Slovan: Alexander Vencel, Ján Zlocha, Ivan Hrdli?ka, Karol Jokl, Ján ?apkovi?, Vladimír Hrivnák, and Alexander Horváth. Jozef Vengloš was the coach of the Slovan Bratislava team for part of this era, as well as performing duties coaching at the international level.
In 1976 a Czechoslovakian team including six Slovan players won the European title in the European Championships held in Belgrade. Gold medals were given to coach Vengloš, Alexander Vencel, Jozef ?apkovi?, Koloman Gogh, Marián Masný, Anton Ondruš, Ján Pivarník, and Ján Švehlík. From the 1977–78 season Slovan were declining. In the 1984–85 season Slovan, led by coaches Ján Hucko and Jozef Obert, left the highest level of competition and were relegated to the Slovakian National League.
After three seasons spent in the Slovakian National League, Slovan Bratislava were able to return to national competition. In season 1987–88 the team returned to the top leagues under the leadership of coaches Ján Zachar and Jozef Jankech, who later coached the Slovak national team. Dušan Galis was the coach from 1977–81. In 1991–92 Slovan Bratislava won the Czechoslovak title for the last time. Among the stars on the team were Peter Dubovský, Dušan Tittel, Ladislav Pecko, Vladimir Kinder, Miloš Glonek, Tomáš Stúpala, and Alexander Vencel.
Slovak league
Slovan won titles in the Slovak league in the 1993–94, 1994–95 and 1995–96 seasons. For the next two years, MFK Košice won the title. Slovan returned to the Slovak throne in the 1998–99 season. The stars of the team included coach Stanislav Griga and players Róbert Tomaschek, Miroslav König, Stanislav Varga, Tibor Jan?ula, and Ladislav Pecko. In the next few years the club's performance was below par and they were in trouble financially. They were forced to sell some of their best players. At the end of the 2003–04 season, the team was relegated to the Slovak Second League, where they spent two seasons. After two years, in the 2010–11 season Slovan won the double with coach Karel Jarolím.
The stadium was built during the first Slovak Republic, when Nazi Germany occupied Petržalka in 1938 and Bratislava lost almost all of its sporting facilities.
The construction lasted from 1939 to 1944 and the stadium became home ground for Slovan Bratislava. The stadium was officially opened in September 1940 with 25,000 places, and the first international match was played on 27 October 1940, with Slovan Bratislava playing against Hertha Berlin, ending in 2–2 tie.
The old stadium underwent reconstruction in 1961, which added second tribune, boosting its capacity to 45,000 and modernising by adding score table, artificial light and revamping the field.
However, the stadium could hold up even 50,000 spectators, and just before breakup of Czechoslovakia, it was the largest one in use (Strahov Stadium in Prague had a capacity of 220,000 but was disused in the 1990s) and was the home ground for Czechoslovak national team.
The stadium was reconstructed once more in the 1990s to the "all-seater" stadium, reducing the capacity into 30,000.
After this, the Tehelné pole stadium was the second-largest in Slovakia after Všešportový areál in Košice, however, that stadium is now disused. In 2005–06, it was also used as the "home" ground for FC Artmedia Bratislava in that club's Champions League and UEFA Cup campaigns, as Artmedia's own ground did not meet minimum standards for UEFA competition. It is planned that the current stadium will be demolished and a new one with the capacity around 35,000 people will be built, costing around 80 million Euro.
The need for a new stadium stems from the UEFA rules, which require to play international matches on stadiums of certain standards from 2008, however, Slovakia lacks these stadiums so far.
Temporarily, Slovans home ground is Pasienky. Štadión Pasienky is a multi-purpose stadium in Bratislava, Slovakia. The stadium holds 11,591 people.
New stadium
The new stadium of Slovan Bratislava at Tehelné pole is already building up. The new stadium is rising at place, where Slovan has its original home and earned so many achievements. It is a locality, which is typically connected with sports activities in Bratislava. The last match on previous stadium at Tehelné pole was played in November 2009. In September 2016, after long years of negotiations and discussion, the building of new stadium has begun. The capacity of a new stadium is planned for 22 500 spectators and stadium will fulfill UEFA 4 category criteria. New stadium at Tehelné pole should be finished until the end of the 2018.
Supporters and rivalries
The fans are well known throughout the country for their passion.
The main ultras groups are called Belasá šlachta and Ultras Slovan Pressburg (which is also a hooligan firm). They travel to most away games, and always in large numbers against club rival Spartak Trnava. Slovan supporters maintain friendly relations with fans of FC Zbrojovka Brno and FK Austria Wien.
Slovan's major rival teams in Bratislava were Inter Bratislava and MFK Petržalka. The battle between Slovan and Inter has a long and rich history: both teams played in the Czechoslovak First League. The rivalry with Petržalka peaked after 2000. The biggest opponent of Slovan Bratislava is Spartak Trnava. Duels between these teams are most prestigious matches in Slovakia.

Dave - press conference before first leg against Slovan Bratislava.
First question was on poor result against Zagreb and what he mean when he sayed that goal was to lose match.
Well, it was not literally go out and lose for money like in a lot situations we see in football today. I have a lot of money and situation was different... i mean fckin weird.. it starts with talk with players before match... i promised them a lot off good stuff after a match if they win and than someone, fuck me if i remember which player started to joke on Perkovi? statement that he will win with kids .. than players started to smile and i was what a fuck.. then they showed me picture of player.. i do not want to give name of that player from Zagreb.. and shit started.I pulled the ... you know.. So anyway, no one can do more than me in club ... i mean on players but overall also.. and we get ourself together somehow but than i found out that already half of shit is missing and i was angry, like, very fucking angry .. i needed to change almost whole fucking squad and belive me that was not good idea ... they are getting out on field, clean, right... and speaker saying name of players who are coming to pitch...
when he mentioned name of player which i comment on press conference.. again, i will not say his name again everyone exploded.. i grabed my metal with hand so that i stay focused.. like real guy you know and of course in all that mess fuckin kid score goal and subs dont know what the fuck they are doing.
Players on bench, oh man. Even fuckin special one couldnt calm situation and i did not want to pull metal out and get fired, no way ... So i started i motivate players on pitch and tryed to remind them that this is "training" because we are traveling ... when i sayed that and turn my self to bench my players where acting strange and started to smile so asked what the fuck is funny, you know... and of course i dressroom i left shit.. shit was there all the time. If you watched match, you have seen players were frustrated, motivated, calm ... like every player was his plan .. You do not need to ask me about dudes talk on half time ... i was standing and looking at table 14 minutes and just sayed.. guys, you are too high "We will lose this match". So, looks that was our plan and dont get me wrong its not players fault. So yea, i do not take hard this defeat but now we will need to do extra training to fix get ready for Slovan.
Also i want to add that i am proud how we played in all that chaos.. i mean if someone check possession of ball and analysis i were not so bad, except of course chances to score goal but it was expected so. We did try hard after all but when Musa missed penalty in 81' players were too much up, some frustrated.. mostly the ones who come from bench.. so yea... nothing to worry about.
You sayed how you will win EURO cup, what did you mean by that?
That we will get trough EURO playoff and that we will do everything we can to do our best in EURO Cup.
Well many like Kranjcar, Boban and Eduardo says its there is no way you get trough Slovan...
Yea, i know, many managers are smile but i have more shit so we will see who will smile last and please do not mention that fuckers... i am fucking sick of their stupid comments, let them keep it for themself... who are they to comment what my team and i can do? Do they work here? No. Did they screw Dinamo, yes.
Dave: Well what to say... he is great and manager ... not to be fucked with .. he know Croatia and he was here few times so he is one who can be changer here but not there, not now this match.
They are not going good in Slovakia first divison, what do you think why is that?
Dave: Well thats our biggest chance. We fucking dont know.
How is that than you biggest chance...
Dave: Well few things.. but lets start, they have one win on their ground which was against Streda who are now on 8th place going bad also. That win was on start of season and after that they have only that one win ... they did not win single fuckin match ... how is that fucking possible .. well i guess its Chovanec fault and i dont give a fuck what he will say on that. They are fucking lucky to get even to here, big luck... Also they lost again Zilina, Vucko, the idiot, destroyed them ...
What do you think about players and is there main weakness for you or someone who can put your team under pressure.
My answer is simple, no. They have one, two players were maybe i see quality.. one is for sure Savicevic
But he will need to be on higher level against us to do something. Also i will be honest... we didnt scout them full and working on that, we have this three day to prepare ourself and scouts already doing job... it was needed to be done before but Vucko needed to go.
Anyway they have few experiencing players like captain Vittek but its obvious he is not happy there and noticed something is going bad in team. Also solid defense with Dobrotka who is really good player if someone ask
...and also great goalkeeper Jan Mucha who is one who can save them.. so we need to be concetrated in attack chances when they open up. But from my point of view that team needs better players and i dont know why Chovanec doing nothing about it
What is with team which won Slovakia division last season?
Will you tell us your plan against them there?
I will not reveal yet who will play even i good know who will be on pitch... we also have ready tactic and i just need players to be concetrated and belive because i belive we can do a great job in Bratislava already.
Thank you, can you tell us how you like Zagreb?
Its awesome, nice chicks all over me.. and when you have money .. dude.. this is the place.. they saying Dalmacia is great also i i was not there yet with team so i will know more when we come back.. now is Slovakia on turn and that is, thank you.
