On Saturday, Hajduk and Osijek are playing HT First Division round 8 match at Gradski vrt in Osijek, kick - off 19:00. It will be the sixth away game in the championship for Hajduk in the new season and ahead of another away match, coach Joan Carrillo held a pre-match press conference at Poljud. Today, he is celebrating his 49th birthday, the first as the coach of Hajduk.

"I am very happy that the championship is finally continuing as well as with the team I have, in which I believe from the first day. We lost Futacs for injury, Vlasic went to Everton, but we know that this was a very important transfer for Hajduk but also for the player and his progress, while Almeida has joined us. We have a very good atmosphere in the dressing room. We are realisticly considering the whole situation and we are thinking positively. In these two ways, one can go forward. If you are not realistic and you think negatively you will never make progress" said Carrillo.

"Osijek is a very good team that won us last season. Since the start of the season, they have scored 24 goals. By the tactics of their coach, they scored 15 goals, out of which five from penalty kicks. They are trying to play in the zones. They have made great progress. But I'll tell you a little secret. We were well prepared and we have a plan how to win Osijek".
