I came to my city to fight for the Champions League,' he said. ## How does it feel to support Dinamo but compete against them? Sopić said it's like asking which child he loves more. 'This is my job, I'm on the opposite side and I will do everything to win. I will support Dinamo all my life, but in this match I will be on the opposite side.' ## What tactics have you prepared? Sopić responded by asking: 'Do you want me to reveal it to them all now?' I know all of Dinamo's strengths and weaknesses. We'll see how our players adapt to 15 or 20 thousand fans. ## What about motivation and pressure? 'I have no extra motivation to prove myself against Dinamo. This is a special match, but we got here through work and effort,' he said. Sopić added that it is incredible by Lithuanian standards to play against the strongest club in the qualifiers.

'We know how important it is for Dinamo to play at Maksimir in front of thousands of fans. I know it won't be easy, but we didn't come here as tourists.'
