Zeljko Kopic (47 years old) his coach Dinamoprefaced the duel with CFR Cluj from the 6th stage of the superliga play-off. The Croatian technician spoke about the championship goalscorer, Louis Munteanu (22 years old), but said that the young striker is not the only dangerous player in the attack of Cluj.

Kopic also said that players have to make good matches to attract as many supporters at the stadium, despite the fact that Dinamo has no right to play in European Cups and is not in the title fight.

The Italians confirmed the interest for the FCSB holder:

Zeljko Kopic: “It is our duty to play well and attract the supporters at the stadium”

“We are fine, the players are in good shape. We will decide tomorrow with whom we start the match.

(No if FCSB becomes a champion if Dinamo defeats CFR) There are 5 more matches. FCSB has a hard match this stage, I think nothing is decided.

I talked all the season about goals. First of all, we had to stabilize the team and reach the play-off.

We want to earn as many points as possible. We know we can't play in Europe. Players feel what it means to play in the play-off, it is different from the regular season. We only play with the best teams, it is a good thing for players to get experience.

We know Dinamo had hard periods last season. This year I won with Craiova after so many years, with U Cluj after so many years. Against CFR we played very well this year, we were very close to win, apart from the last game.

Supporters who will come will support us, they also understand the disappointed that we are not in the title fight. We need to do our job on the ground, represent this club properly. It is our duty to play well and attract them to the stadium.

Louis Munteanu is a dangerous player, he makes a very good season. He is one of the best attackers in the Superliga, but it's not just about him, the CFR has very good players. It is not a coincidence that Louis Munteanu has scored so many goals, has some very good qualities“, Zeljko Kopic said in the press conference.

The Croatian technician was also asked by “El Clasico” in the King's Cup final: “I looked at the match, there was a lot of tension, a lot of energy. It was a real derby, it was a very high level with many occasions.”
