Sammir: It was tough on bad pitch and against defensive Osijek

Dinamo players pointed out two main reasons for defeat in Osijek - defensive team and bad pitch.

New Croatia national team player Arijan Ademi scored the equalizer but it wasn't enough: - Of course this is not something we've expected but that's football. We were better, dominated the entire game but Osijek defended well, scored from their two attempts and we can only congratulate them. Football is about goals, they scored one more than us and that's final.

Other midfielder, Sammir, thinks alike his teammate: - It was tough to play on a bad pitch like this and against a defensive side like Osijek. Bad pitch in more convenient for a team that defends than the one that wants to play. We had several chances but we were always a second late. That's football and I'm sure we'll be better against Rijeka in a week.
