Ahead of the MAXtv First League match against Zagreb, coach Damir Buric said the following:

"We have been preparing for the matches in Zagreb since next week we won't have much time for workouts and discussions as we  have to travel to Zagreb once again. But we are ready for these matches and I'm glad to see my team working hard and making progress".

Nizic, Ohandza and Velazquez are still out. Pejic is travelling with the team, he and Nizic have started with regular training sessions, although there are not yet fit to play. 

"Zagreb has particular playing tactics, they have their playing philosophy and they stick to it. Although it doesn't bring them points recently, I appreciate their effort. I expect the match to be interesting, they know a lot about us and we know a lot about them" said Buric.

After the first match in Zagreb, the team returns to Split to prepare for Cup quarter - finals next Wednesday in Zagreb.
