Zeljko Kopic (47), Dinamo's coach, reacted shortly after his team won the duel with Hermannstadt, score 2-0, from the 8th stage. The band from Stefan cel Mare has reached the fourth victory in the current season and is on the podium, along with Craiova and Rapid.

After the match, Kopic declared satisfied with the game provided by his students, even though he noticed some problems at the beginning of the match. He spoke about the situation of Cristi Mihai and the arrival of Adrian Mazilu under his command, but also about the fact that he is premature for someone from Dinamo to think about the trophies now, because there is much work.

Zeljko Kopic, “hot” after a new success in Superliga

“It was a start of the match that I did not manage properly, but in the second half I entered with more energy, I brought the ball easier in the opponent and I can only be happy for the way I showed. In addition, I won these points. We have 15 points after the first 8 stages, which is okay.

There were small problems during the game, but I congratulate the boys for the result. Cristi Mihai is an extraordinary guy. I work with him, he understands his mistakes, accepts them and wants to correct them. He had small hesitations in the first half, but grew a lot in the second.

I also think about what will happen in the near future, when the players will go to the national teams, how we will recover on their return and how we will manage the situation of those who remain.

(No about the fact that Dinamo does not give any player at the Romanian national) I have a great respect for Mr. Mircea Lucescu. We must continue to work on this team, players to do their job on the field, and to decide what is best.

I know how Mazilu played and what he has shown so far. We have to wait to sign, but it is clear that it will have a lot of work. We will work with him and try to bring him to the level he was when he left. We hope that in a short time it will return to a good form.

I cannot say that I am satisfied with everything that happens as a whole, but we will analyze all the details. We have to grow and only then to think about the trophies ”, Said Zeljko Kopic, at Flash-Interviu, after the match, at the show “Digi Sport Special”, from Digi Sport.

I am very happy for the team. In the first half it was a balanced match, and I am even happier that I managed to score today. Even though I am a central defender, I like to climb the attack. It's just the beginning, there are many more matches to play, it is important to gather points.

The 3 points today are very important. We are thinking of winning trophies and, why not, the title. But at the moment we focus on winning our points step by step.
