Zeljko Kopic (48 years old), Dinamo coach, drew the first conclusions after his team only made a draw on Monday evening, in the last match of the 10th stage in Superligascore 1-1, on their own ground, with the lighthouse. He was pleased with what happened in the first half and charged the mistakes on the second part of the match, especially since he had warned his students at the break that he could reach such a situation.

Dinamo had the chance to climb the second place in the Superliga, if he had a victory, but missed the opportunity after a modest game in the second part and has an extremely complicated match next round, on Friday evening, from 9:00 pm, on the field of the leader University Craiova.

Zeljko Kopic, after equal to the Lighthouse: “It was not good for our reaction”

“I had many matches like this, this season. In the first half I did not offer any chance and I was total in control. Too bad I did not scoring the second goal in the first part, because I had this chance.

In the second part I did not have the same domination and game intensity. I think it is the result is fair.

At the beginning of the second half, they put more pressure. We had to do our job much better, because we fight at the leading places. So far, overall, my players have done a good job.

I told the players at the break that it will not be the second half as the first and that the lighthouse will come over us. They left the lockers with a lot of energy, intensity and dominated 25-30 minutes. Our reaction was not good.

They had those tasks behind our defense. If you leave the Lighthouse to play, you can have great difficulty and I can charge you.

I had something at the end, but I think this draw is a fair result. Since the beginning of the second half I let the opponent play. The present matters to me. Now we are fighting for a top ranking, but the players have done everything very well and we have to continue.

We are more dangerous in fixed phases, we work, you have to have as many variants from which you can mark, “said Zeljko Kopic, at the” Football Club “microphone, at Digi Sport.
