Dave Diaz: This is showing how football can be cruel but its not over... if they think to come with this play in Zagreb they can stay at home. So far us Ademi concerns i will deal with it and i also notified fans are not happy with Hodzic so we will see what is going on ... we will do our best... i repeat.. we were unlucky, we deserved at least one or two goals but instead of that we lost key player for next match and have one in net.
What is with morale and do you think it affects game like this?
No i wouldnt say it affects game like this one but its sure a good thing to have... on the other side i am concerned about morale and i will do my best to boost it up.. .
SLOVAN BRATISLAVA - GNK DINAMO ZAGREB - first leg - 1:0
Next Split, what can we expect, will you save some players for second leg against Slovan?
Yes but there will be no too much rotation.. i think we have what it takes for next match and will give my players and coaches idea... but first Split, try to dig some morale and than we will see...
My scouts and me if i will have time will monitor Slovan .. so few hell of a days where i will have lot of work so i guess we are over for today till next match.
No, the news from Luka did not suprise me at all and i agree with him but i also have question, when does in fact he coming back? When he was going he promised he will come back and now when are hard times ... so i think everybody in club and in Croatia knows this is "must won match" and we will do all we can.
Dinamo boss Dave Diaz under pressure didnt want comment nothing before match.
Looking back Dinamo didnt lose last 4 matches against RNK Split have 12:0 in head to head.
Luka Peruzevic, with his team standing on 6th place with two interesting wins so far... 5:2 against Inter Zapresic was their impressive last game but they also had win over Slaven Belupo 2:0.
On press conference he sayed they can triumph against GNK Dinamo but stated that it will not be easy game for sure.
From what we know Dave prefer 4231 wide play on which is Split most vulnerable but there is question who will get on pitch on Dinamo side since they had big match behind them with bad result and few tired feets. Also it looks like Dinamo has still problems forward where Dave and even Vucko 2K didnt have too much time too experiment with Alex who just come in to Dinamo and Soudani this season since he was injured. Hodzic is not scoring us expected even Vucko 2K was sure he is ready for big matches.
We also know that Split plays with no too much risk, they have scored most goals in 61-75 minutes while on other side Dinamo concede most in that minutes.
Also on the other side Dinamo showed they are not to be fucked with if they score in first 15 minutes where Split has conceded most.
Split is also team with best average height but Dinamo in defense has few tired legs and for second leg against Slovan, Dave Diaz will need them... Good for Dinamo is that Split pass is not too good and probably their biggest problem now.
Players in form for Split are Mate Bilic, looking like last season and also top scorer for Split this season for now. Most average rating holds his right, Tomislav Bu?i?, 20 year old striker who is on loan from KF Tirana and holding average rating 7.23.
Most assists came from 23 year old defender Nino Galovi?.
After great win over Inter Zapreši? with 5:2 last round... can Split suprise Dinamo and put them in more deep problems or will Dinamo show that they can get where it was predicted this and last season and that is on top of HNL1.
On Gradski, Slaven Belupo waits Rijeka who is also on test after great win over Sarajevo in UEFA cup playoff first round.
Thank you for coming, it was hard week, lots of traveling, easy legs and belive me i am not too good mood so go and start, bring the shit on!
Are you ready for Slovan Bratislava and we would like to know your view on match against Split.
Well, first i must congratulate to team and fans, fans were really amazing expect a flares but .. lets put that away i liked view so.. i was really suprised by fans, they were giving all to end and i am very happy for them with goal by Pjaca.. we deserved it ... but ... i must admit, we have problems in forward and i will need to put more in there because i cannot rely on almost any striker, i am sorry to say that but they are missing chances where they could do much more, also i have feeling they are not focused and i was maybe too harsh too Soudani but belive me he was not only one who had lesson so i guess i do not need to talk about what is going in forward heads now and how they can contribute in next match, will they be motivated, no... will they be under pressure, yes.. will in front of them will be Jan Mucha, yes.
What did you say to Ljubicic on 70' minute mark?
I didnt agree with decision from second referee by flaging offside after Kruno scored... there was no offside.
But there was offside... camera...
There was no fucking offside! Next question.
Ademi? Will he miss for next match?
Of course, he will miss not only for this match but two weeks, he is our important player just like Junior Fernandes.
Many things you will put Pavi?i? from first minute, is that true?
Yes, i can confirm that if there will be no injury before match but Pavi?i?, Antoli? and Pami? are in.
There was some hard words betwen you and Deveri? concerning Pavi?i?, can we know more about it?
No.. Next question.
How do you think Slovan will step up to this match?
Honestly i think they will take defending aproach like last time and not risking too much. I didnt have chance to scout them against Myava, but we have statistics from that match.. 3:1, they finally find win, all team looked solid but i think it will mean much in this match.. also we play on our teritory, i belive with great fans we can do more than there but it will be hard.. when you take all what is going on here and against what we are going where we need goal and watch behind... it will be hard for us. Players and others can think different but Slovan will give all to hold that goal lead and they can do it.. we will need to do much more than in any match so far to score and bring game end to our advantage.
Those that suggest that you belive in extra times?
That is very possible scenario and i do not have nothing against it.
Pjaca?
Well what to say, he is really special player and i am really happy we have him.. you could for sure expect more from him this season but i everyday asking myself why the fuck Vucko sold Coric? That nigga was the wrong nigga in the wrong club i hope he will burn in hell.
We heard you are still scouting few players from Slovan.
Yes, maybe we can found some little piece of their weak points on players where we could strike or find space and use it in our advantage.
How is team morale and on what are you focusing at training?
We were working kind balanced way... focused on ball control also but our priority was and is attacking set pieces .. i belive there will be chances and if we can use it properly i belive it can contribute and could be changer even i know many will disagree. We will also have small fitness training on match day and we we will be ready.. also players are solid match fit and i am not concerned about that.
Antoli? lacking match fitness, is that concern?
No.
We found that Chovanec is resting Savicevi? which you pointed us one off who needs to be watched.. do you still agree with that?
I think thats kind a fucked question.. if he is rested and Chovanec given that decision of course.. also he scored goal against Myala so ... i still consider him one who we will need to close down.
Well, man changer, it was shocking there... i mean i was expecting some bad shit will happen and i must admit that i little undirestimate him and others in that wide mid playing positions and i belive we were needed to close him more but lets put that aside for now... He is great player no question about it.. he was also great against Myala and yeah .. we will need to be carefull in defense.. letting them score one more goal could be cutting edge for us... we need goal but we must be concetrated in defense.
Are you sure in your defense, what we can expect there?
Well i will not reveal too much but i am very confident about Taravel and Sigali, they are players on who you could always count .. on wings and full backs .. you have seen they are not performing always how its expected and you also noticed i do rotations there and it will stay like that for now with good reason.
Which is?
My concern.
How did you established in boardroom, and also many questions how do you getting with Zdravko Mami? and what do you think of him.
He is capable, professional, very experienced chairman... my dead brother Diazepam ll was talking a lot about him and we cannot say Diazepam ll was not one of the head coaches who brought a lot of success with Dinamo. Bad he blow up his head there... i know it was terror to see that on screen and for players.. everyone .. but! it was not creative if you ask me. He pull gun because he is losing against manager who he hates more than anything and than blow his head up... i mean.. what is creative in that? He was ambitious and he had potentional ... he throwed it on bizare, kind a stupid way if you ask me. But on your question, yes i am in good terms with Zdravko Mami? and whole boardroom .. i hope it will be with ?a?i? also.. it needs to be for not only Dinamo and Croatian team but whole people of Croatia and country.
Fans do not like Mami?, Šuker and ?a?i?, you know that right?
And you are fucking stupid right? Of course i know but i belive in my brother words... its not Mami?, Šuker and others who brings HNL to this situation... its not fans.. its Milanovi? and Ostoji? and its great how they hidden all that pieces of their crimes.. removed from public eyes and than acuse inocent people for money ... its also interesting on what they spent that money but i will keep that for myself.
You are not afraid talking like that on such big names?
No one fucks with Diaz. No one! He maybe hold police.. but who holds shit.. he talks.. thats what i am doing and will do if i will need. Dinamo is blessed club and putting harm on it deserves justice.. if cops do not keep justice but protecting their "bad" interest.. than it will be fucking payback time. Worst people always end up worse. So, no of course i am not afraid talk about that fucks. Also that war against fans and Mami?.. that was all set up .. not all but ... i know some peoples who i mention paying a small amount to few kids and than terorize Croatian football... there is also media like few of you who are back them up and there you go. Fucking idiot watch television and dont know what the fuck is going on, fucking journalist get some news out off nowhere and write about it, fucking police dont do nothing.. sudenly few days later shit happens and than its hulligans? Where was fucking police, who is that fucking journalist... well they are connected .. but then some third fucking shit comes out and no one knows what the fuck is going on ... so one attacking this guy, others, this... than clans... i mean, fuck all that. Its visible what is going on and its kind strange that some supports evil. But thats life, right.
About fans, i think Dinamo has best fans and biggest fan community in world which makes them number one.. no question about it. So i respect them and i truly belive what fans needs are victory, goals, good result and Dinamo where it needs to be... but us far this complex things going in this Country it will just delay that and could bring more trouble... so i am here to try to negate all that negative shit going on by bringing wins and wins and Dinamo great again... that would be enough for everyone to be happy. I know lot have different opinion about peoples i talked but thats their right and honestly i do not give a fuck about it.. i just want to focus on Dinamo now ... we need win... especially to Slovan so this fucking questions are just taking me and my team precious time. I am not here to talk about bullshit going on but about positives. Right?
...
Anyway i think this press match is over if you will need more question i will be able to provide you with them on match day but now i need to go work with team, we have a lot off work and not too much time. I hope we will beat Slovan and get trough... thats all i am focusing now.
Oh about Rijeka?
No comment.
Do you belive Sarajevo can come back from big lose in first leg?
Everything is possible but i think Rijeka will hold result. Thank you.
