The Dinamo de Zagreb It is a winning team, constant, that never lowers its arms and does not resign in a match until the referee indicates the end. It may seem like a cliché, but it is the reality of the group that directs David Krznar, man of the house who achieved the miracle of eliminating Tottenham from Jose Mourinho by tracing him from a 2-0 in the first leg (3-0 in the second leg), a defeat that was still led by the former head coach, Zoran Mamic – who resigned on March 15 for being sentenced to 4 years in prison for embezzlement at the club – of which the current coach was his second.
Villarreal’s rival in the quarterfinals of the Europa League has enormous potential, high-level footballers and a squad that unites experience and emerging youngsters who, most likely, will end up in wealthier clubs next season.
Krznar, new coach
The Croatian Supreme Court ruling was surprising, forcing his coach and sports director, Zoran Mamic, to resign, taking the reins David Krznar, another man of the house who was director of grassroots football for Dinamo Zagreb and in many other stages second coach.
After making his debut with victory against HNK Gorica (1-0), Krznar worked the miracle of beating the Tottenham, raising the 2-0 of the first leg. The new coach uses a 4-3-3 very similar to that of his predecessor, basing his game on quick transitions after recovery and a vertical and offensive football, focused especially on the right. Team with speed, arrival and punch.
Livakovic, porter fiable
In the goal, the goal Livakovic stands out, 19 times full international with Croatia, runner-up of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, although he did not play a minute. He has great agility, enormous reflexes and was the hero of the return against Tottenham with miraculous saves in the final stretch of the game and extra time.
Vulnerable defense
In defense, the long-distance right-back Ristovksi stands out, one of the reinforcements of January that does not stop rising, as well as the center-back who acts as a left-back Gvardiol, signed for next year by German Leipzig for 16 million euros.
The centrals, the Danish Lauritsen and the French Théophile-Catherine are vulnerable, slow and, despite having the ball out, they do not offer much security either above or below.
A complete medullary
The center of the field is usually played by a defensive pivot, with a good start to the game, such as Jakic, accompanied by two interiors with quality, work and arrival, such as the Macedonian Adami, the captain, and Majer, the best footballer of the team.
Pure talent in attack
And in point, their ends have quality, overflow, arrival and goal, especially Orsic (he made a hat-trick against Tottenham), Ivanusec, Atiemwen and Kastrati, with two ‘9’ of mobility and goal like Gavranovic and Petkovic.
