There is no reward without giving the maximum

Even though Dinamo needs to pass an upcoming championship match against Lokomotiva first, everybody wants to find out how will Zoran Mamić prepare his team for the Champions league match against Arsenal.

- The schedule is tight and we started with preparations for that match yesterday. After Lokomotiva we won't have much time and that is the reason we are already preparing. Of course, the match against Lokomotiva is more important now and success in the Croatian championship is really important if we want to play European competition in the future.

What about expectations from the group stage?

- We all know our opponents will be dominant in upcoming group stage matches and I am sure we will need to focus on defending. Our idea and our goal aren't pulling back and stay out of the game. We want to play in an offensive way and play our game. Players are full of confidence and they are aware of the reward they can get if they give their best. Even if they fail in that mission, they will know they gave the maximum. I think that's fair and I guarantee players won't be scared because our rivals are flesh and blood too.
