Galati Steel – Dinamo 2-1. Zeljko Kopic (47 years old), the “dog” technician, reacted after the first failure this season.
He said again he was waiting for 3-4 new players on the team. He acknowledged that the club's budget is a limited one, and he wants players with a certain share.
Kopic was satisfied with the team's second half game and provided details about the situation of the injured players, 5 days before the derby with FCSB.
Zeljko Kopic, conclusions after Dinamo's first failure this season: “We need players, everyone knows that!”
“I congratulate the steel for this victory! I think I played well. In the first half I made a few mistakes, but in the second I dominated much, we had big opportunities, but we could not mark.
The opponent sanctioned us. It's a hard time for the team, for us all. I see that the team is playing football, it looks good, it's aggressive, we have opportunities, but we can't win the matches. For this we have to mark.
We need players, everyone knows that, officials know. We are in negotiations with a few players, but the club has certain limits. We want to bring quality players, to rise to the Dynamo reputation, to help us meet our goals. It is not easy to bring such players.
3-4 players want to bring. I don't talk to them. Everyone understands the situation, everyone wants players. We have discussions, that's all I can say. Nikita Stoianov has no work permit, Perica is injured, Ikoko just what came.
There are many new players. I think at this moment we are a little unbalanced. Everyone sees that. I lost points in this start of the season, “said Zeljko Kopic, at the first sport.
Problems with Dinamo injuries before FCSB derby
“Cristi Mihai I think will be an important player for us. When he came from Euro U21, he had certain medical problems, but now it is 100%. Has entered today. I forgot about Milanov, he was cooled, he stayed in Bucharest. Cristi entered today very, very well in the match. I think he will be an important player for us in the future.
Mărginean collided with an opponent. Could not continue. It is not good at this time. A contusion, maybe. We'll see. Cîrjan felt certain pain in the head area. At this moment it is better, ”added Kopic.
It is a difficult time for our supporters, for us. Everyone has expectations from this season. The team is trying to dominate, to create opportunities, but everything was against us. We must stay together, get out of this situation. I'm sure better moments will come for us.
Tomorrow we will prepare this match with FCSB. We will analyze, we will see how many players we have available. We will fight for our club.
