Ilir Daja thinks that Dinamo is ready to face Hajduk Split without fear, even though the opponent has the status of the favorite in tomorrow's duel between the two teams. The Blues coach spoke to the media, commenting on Ervin Bulku's statement, or how his team is preparing in the absence of the departed Itodo.
" We know that tomorrow we have a match with a high difficulty coefficient, due to Hajduk's tradition not only in domestic football, but also for the experience in European competitions. The second thing regarding the difficulty is that they have the support of a public that supports them throughout the match, but sometimes difficulties make you stronger and we will try to show the best values beyond them. But of course, as favorites, listing these things, is Hajduk.
Times change, as teams change, from my personal experience in Croatia, against Dinamo Zagreb, I have a balance of one win, one loss and two draws. But as the times in which the matches have been played change, so do the teams, especially in the summer period which is the transfer period. But always in the matches we have had, at least I as a coach, they have always been beautiful because Croatia plays very beautiful football. Likewise Hajduk which is one of the teams with the most history in Croatia. We have analyzed Hajduk, we must be focused that in addition to the tactical aspect as a group, we must also be focused on the fact that Hajduk has quality players in its composition who, if they lose concentration, can harm you from moment to moment .
Controversies about Ervin Bulku? Croatia and Albania have good friendly relations, both in other fields and in sports. I have personally spoken with Bulku, because I coached him as a footballer in one of the teams in Albania. And I personally believe that everyone can have satisfaction or support for the teams they have played for. And I think that our match tomorrow against a strong team like Hajduk is more important than the interpretation of what my athlete or Ervin Bulku said or did not say .
Selling Itodo? Naturally, our club's policy is to promote players and take them to stronger championships. And this is called a certain achievement of the club. But every coach will feel the void when a scorer leaves. We have to get used to these things, because even Hajduk, which has another financial potential, makes exits and moves in the transfer market in this period. With the departure of Itodo, we also have to change our maneuver a little to fill as much as possible in a short time, the departure of this quality footballer from our team .
Hajduk's best player? I will avoid answering this question, because if I name a name, which Hajduk certainly has within it, I will motivate the other 9 to say that the opposing coach should deal with an individual.
I think we will have difficulties in both phases of the game, because I showed who Hajduk is for us. This means that we have to be very careful also because there are fast players and they can harm us in the fast attack or counterattack. But I think that in general we have to be very careful and in the block tomorrow to avoid the individual qualities that Hajduk players have .
Are you satisfied with 0-0? Of course, a draw would be a positive result for us, because I believe it would give us morale to present ourselves even better in our country in the return match.
It's not that I gave Hajduk the status of favorite, the opponent's history itself has it, even though we are a club with history in our country. But in the presentation in Europe, Hajduk has 200 or so matches in all competitions in its history. And we haven't played in Europe for several years. This means that this lack of experience must be replaced. Not with motivation, because we know that tomorrow the players will be motivated by the opposing team and the environment. But to avoid the part of inexperience, we must give more than our maximum during these 90 minutes.
"Respecting the opponent does not mean being afraid, because in the end we will play football. But we have to say things as they are and not to give in, but to increase our dose of concentration, so that we can face the fury of Hajduk tomorrow in their stadium ," Daja told the media.
