Can man, who came in almost destroyed Dinamo and moved them to European group stage without no one giving him a one percent do it again this season.
This season, with new signings which he was not been able to do when he came to Dinamo he sayed on start of new season that Dinamo will play in European group stage. He also sayed on start of season that Hajduk and Rijeka will never see first place in HNL1 when he is here but that is all still to be seen.
When he came he belived that there was lot of things in Dinamo which were broken and not settled down good and sayed he will need at least one season to settle all down correct. He did also made some statements which were bad and lost last season against Hajduk but again its probably ok to give him one more chance since he jumped in last moment and replace Vucko2K.
Now, with new players which he added he is one match away from again entering European group stage.
He will need to do it in Norway against Strømsgodset but with disadvantage since on Maksimir was 2:2.
Despite result, Strømsgodset seen what is blue hell which Dave promised them and Dinamo. there were more fans than against Liverpool in European group stage last season with Dave of course.
Strømsgodset was defending against 37 blue shots on their goal .. or more specific seven on target .. woodwork did job two times. On the end Dinamo was looking unlucky us ever since Strømsgodset did score two goals from three shots on goal in 90 minutes.
Can Dinamo with Dave do what they did on Maksimir... many belive they can.
Dave - I did it once with Dinamo and i did not have time to prepare.. now i will do it again, prepared!
Dinamo did training on Fosshaugane Campus this morning.
Ademi: We are ready! Whole team is ready, we are all sorry we missing Rog but we will provide them blue hell here, we owe it to fans.
Marko Rog, player of the match on Maksimir with injury is sayed for FMSNews "Dinamo can do it without me, i would be suprised we do not win"
Saving players for Strømsgodset on Maksimir were Brede Moe who says that Dinamo were better but that Strømsgodset has chance and that they are also ready.
And midfielder Filip Johansen Westgaard who shocked Dinamo fans in 82 minute told for SportFMS
"We do have hell here also, and it is yellow!"
Despite Dinamo will miss Rog and it is question who will take his position biggest problem for Dave is for sure who will he put us wingback where he told to press that it is place in team which is still the weakest due to his opininon... sayed that tho Musa and Petar Mamić are seen regulary in first team and Dave expects them to be good players ... also there could be Pivarić who has showen some great last games. Also when we add that Strømsgodset is having most problem on left from where they concede most goals.. there is no doubt that biggest question is who will play position on wing back.
Modri had shocking start where again scorer from Maksimir, Strømsgodset Brede Moe scored in third minute of match... Dinamo instantly after that went more attacking style and it payed off in 29' minute of match where Soudani scored nice goal after very nice assist from Petar Mamić. Dinamo did not stop and in 37' Mirko Marić scored goal with header after Matel cross. Complete different match than on Maksimir where Strømsgodset are finding way to Dinamo goal. Sodani had also one great intervention and Strømsgodset for sure looking same like on Maksimir. Dinamo after Marić goal moved more toward retain ball. On Kantrida is 1:1 for now.

Dave "Strømsgodset deserves honor in defeat.
Dave: I congratulate my players on win and staying cool till end but also i must say Strømsgodset suprised me with how good did they play, they are good team but overall i think we deserved to go trough.
Croatia, first time in history with four teams in Euro Cup Leauge!
Šuker "This is golden day for whole Croatia, we should all be proud!"
Now, HNL1 competition will be even more harder.
Dave about Group J
"I am not afraid of Napoli"
I think we have great chance to go trough and yes all this are great clubs but i do not see them having better team than ours ... of course many will say Napoli is two class better than us but i am not afraid of them, we got group which suits us.
Dave "Istra is not in European Cup League without reason, it will be hard match and i will not experiment too much with rotation, i need best possible team on pitch possible"
