Head coach Joan Carrillo held a pre-match press conference today at Poljud, ahead of HT First Division round 5 match Hajduk - Slaven Belupo. The match will take place on Friday, August 11 at Poljud, kck - off 21:00. 

"The match against Dinamo is behind us, players know what we think, we analized it and we know why we lost three points. Life goes on, I have not felt at any moment that Dinamo is a superior team. Slaven Belupo is our next opponent, we now have to be properly prepared for that match. We still don't know who will play. Erceg will certainly not be able to play, it is not a matter of tactics that I want him to rest, he is one of the injured players. We don't know if he will be ready for Everton. Basic is at the last stage of recovery, but it's not yet ready to play 90 minutes. Pesic is recovering, hopefully he will be ready soon. For Lopez we got a doctor's recommendation not to play. Tudor extended the recovery. Grbic is not ready yet. Stipica will probably not be able to play too, Letica will be our goalkeeper" said Carrillo about the situation he is dealing with.

"Slaven Belupo proved to be a great team with great players. They have a balance, they are strong in counterattacks, they are dangerous. The match is well prepared and we want to win three points" concluded the coach.
