Zeljko Kopic (48 years old), coach of Dinamo, analyzed draw with FCSB, 0-0. It is a positive result for the “dogs”, who remained 10 points ahead of the title champions.
Kopic was delighted with his team's performance, even if he admits it was left with a bit of a bitter taste as they failed to win. He feels the team is on an upward trend, but shies away from getting into title-winning talk.
Zeljko Kopic: “It's obvious we're getting better”
“I'm happy with the performance of the team, the personality shown by the players, the way they played 90 minutes. They had very, very good energy, we were solid defensively and offensively we had some good moments. We didn't create a lot, we didn't manage to pass better, to have more inspiration in the last 20-25 meters, but in the end I'm happy with the team, we played well today.
I have a small disappointment though. We could have gotten more out of the opportunities we had with a little more guts out there. But we knew it would be a difficult match, very important for FCSB, that they would give everything, that they have quality. But we defended well, with a lot of intensity, with pressure, we didn't give them time and space with the ball at their feet.
If we compare with the previous season, it is obvious that we are improvingbut for me it was much more important to see personality on the field. It doesn't matter that we suffer in some moments of the game, but I want to feel that we are in the game, that we have the determination to attack and score.
Our supporters were amazing today, the 12th player, they gave us energy. Considering we got 4 points with FCSB and how the team feels, it's obvious we're improving.
Now we have to rest, recover and prepare for the match with Metaloglobus, to be at our best there. We take it match by match, week by week.
After the matches with Metaloglobus and UTA, we have to make the mercato strategy, to see with which team we will approach the second part of the season. We will have the winter camp in Turkey, then the first goal will be the play-offs. We will see later, but I feel the team is at a good level,” Kopic said at the press conference.
