Coach Kovačević: For now we're only thinking about Rudeš, league points are important to us
Coach Mario Kovačević in an interview with our portal said that Dinamo will give everything to win three points in the upcoming derby against Rudeš. 'For now we're only thinking about Rudeš, league points are important to us,' said Kovačević.
Which lineup will be for the match against Rudeš?
Kovačević said that there will be many changes in the starting lineup compared to the match against Kaunas. 'We have a wide squad, and I believe in the players who have not played yet. I often feel sorry when some of them do not get a chance, but only 16 players can play in one match. All are working well and cannot wait to play. This is their opportunity to show themselves and prove themselves. Let's say, there will be many changes in the starting lineup compared to the match against Kaunas. We have many matches ahead of us, we have to make changes...'
Luka Stojković in the hospital?
Kovačević said that Luka Stojković is still in the hospital due to a problem with his adductor. 'I hope he will be fine, he didn't train on Wednesday, he has a problem with his adductor and most likely won't be in the squad for the match against Rudeš. We don't want to take risks. I believe he will be ready for Tuesday.'
Matteo Perez Vinlöf in good shape?
Kovačević said that Matteo Perez Vinlöf is in good shape and will compete for a place in the starting lineup for the match against Rudeš. 'He had a knock in the match against Kaunas, but he has trained in the meantime, feels good and will compete for the match on Friday.'
Coach Kovačević on expectations for the match against Rudeš?
Kovačević said that he expects a similar match to the ones against other opponents in the league. 'Rudeš didn't start the season well, but they had good segments of play. We approach every team with seriousness, we will analyze them well. I expect them to defend in an organized manner and try to surprise us on counters and half-counters. It's important that we are patient, that we play attacking from the first minute and score a goal as early as possible.'
Ivan Nevistić in the spotlight?
Kovačević said that Ivan Nevistić is in the spotlight and will compete for a place in the starting lineup for the match against Rudeš. 'We talk with everyone daily. We talked both before and now. We have goalkeepers we can count on. Nevistić has quality, he was in a small crisis so we replaced him, but he really works very well. There's also Danijel Zagorac, after all. I never doubted the quality of Nevistić and Zagorac, they're not from yesterday... I'm satisfied with our goalkeepers, and I always demand more and better from all players.'
