Zrinski head coach Igor Stimac predicted the match of the third round of the Conference League, where his team saw a huge defeat against Dynamo with a score of 0:6. The match took place in Lublin, where the Kiev club played a nominally home match.

" As for the match itself, I think we played poorly in the first half. The beginning of the match was great for our victor, we created good positional moments, we were responsible for opening up the gap, we didn’t give our opponent so much space, we didn’t allow him to make shots at our goal.

But then we reacted poorly to the first blow from our goal, and missed a goal. And the other goal in the other half came just at that moment, when we wanted to make substitutions and recuperate, if we got sick, it was necessary to close the zones, for the sake of which the opponents are creating problems for our goal. However, we conceded another goal even before these substitutions. And after that we simply fell apart as a team. The results and results of the goals looked inconceivable for the team, which had so far played well in defense and conceded few goals in the current season.

And this is completely unacceptable. We conceded a few goals after the kicks at the near post, but we wanted to know what Dynamo Kiev’s strong side was. However, we were unable to react. We conceded another goal after a free kick, if we were not ready to play until the end of the day. It’s impossible to rely on anything good in a match against such a great team as Dynamo Kiev, which allows so many similar compromises.

Alas, I am guilty of taking responsibility for this. I guess I got it wrong. I let out a lot of young players, because we have a killer gaming rhythm, because every week we have a very difficult match against the championship. We want to stand on all fronts, we have to make decisions to rotate the warehouse.

The result is devastating, unacceptable, but we must be strong and confidently raise our heads and take away from the past the sadness that now consumes us all. Because, I repeat, in just a few days we have a very important match in the championship.

There is no time or sense to spend time thinking about what happened today, and feeling sorry for yourself: the need to deprive this match from the last one and avoid gaining points in the home matches of the tournament, said the coach.
