Coach Kovačević and Zajc: This is the Dinamo fans want, our goal is to continue like this

First of all, I have to congratulate my players on this victory, this is the Dinamo that our fans want, emphasized Maksimir's coach Mario Kovačević after a convincing victory against Slaven Belupo in Koprivnica with 5:2.

– We knew that Slaven has quality, we saw that even when we conceded a goal because the home team took advantage of the moment when we reacted a bit weaker. However, that did not shake us, we quickly equalized and even took the lead, controlled the whole game, scored many goals. I am really happy and satisfied with this match – added coach Kovačević.

Miha Zajc and Ismaël Bennacer scored their first goals in Dinamo's jersey, and Dion Drena Beljo is also returning to his goal-scoring form.

- I am happy for them. When we play well, when we react as a team, then our quality is visible. I say, I am glad they scored, but everyone was good. We imposed ourselves and I know this team can do it. I say, Slaven Belupo is a quality team, third in the standings. We prepared well, we showed it on the field, and when we are like that, we see that we are the best in the HNL. I want us to continue like this.

The next challenge is the Saturday match against Lokomotiva at the closing of the autumn season.

- Our goal is to repeat such a performance even though each match is a story in itself. In the previous match against Lokomotiva, we lost, but the players and I can't wait to give it back to them. We know it won't be easy, Lokomotiva has quality. We play in front of our fans and I want us to celebrate the autumn title together - concluded coach Kovačević.

Of course, double scorer Miha Zajc was also satisfied, one of the creators of this impressive game.

- Maybe we started a bit weaker, the conceded goal surprised us, but we quickly woke up, showed that we know and can play, and deservedly won three points.

And Zajc scored his first goal since joining Dinamo.

- Yes, finally! Great, I am thrilled, but most of all because we won. We showed real character and that we know how to turn the result around when we are behind. This is an important victory, and we have one more game left until the end of the half-season. Our goal is to stay in first place. Now we have a few days off, it's good that we don't have a midweek match. We also want to show that real character in the match against Lokomotiva. We can't wait for that match - Zajc said.
