Hermannstadt – Dinamo 1-2. Zeljko Kopic, the coach from Bucharest, analyzed the victory in Sibiu that took the red-white team to first place in the Superliga, at least temporarily.
Dinamo reached 44 points, with one more than Craiova, and is the leader in League 1, at least until the match between Olten and Botoșani on Saturday evening.
Kopic praised Opruț, the scorer of the two Dinamo goals, calling him the “Brazilian” of Dinamo.
What Zeljko Kopic said after Hermannstadt – Dinamo 1-2
“We were good, we knew Hermannstadt would defend well. La Farul played well. We had 2-3 situations from which we had to score. Maybe it wasn't the best pitch to pass quickly, it was better to defend yourself.
In the second half we made some changes, then Raul's goals came. It's good that morale and mentality were good after they equalized and we scored to make it 2-1.
When you play in such matches, the world is focused on strikers, midfielders, sometimes you need a defender to help you. Raul had two moments of great inspiration. I even told him he's our Brazilian this week.
We have our style, we train week by week, we take into account the form of each player. It is essential that they understand each other, are connected mentally, know the moves of the team. Synchronization is essential. If you have footballers of the same level, it's easier for things to go.
It's all about teamwork, it's not just about me, it's about the chemistry between the players. I have important people by my side”, said Zeljko Kopic, on Prima Sport 1.
