Head coach Marijan Pusnik held a press conference ahead of the upcoming match against Inter Zapresic.

"Kalinic won't be abe to play, he has been having problems with injury since the match against Maccabi and he needs to take some rest, for a week or two. Some U-21 players had suffered some kind of poisoning on the last international break, among them Nikola Vlasic, who had to go to hospital so I'm not sure that he will be able to play on Friday. Said and Jeff are sick, Ante Erceg is suspended for accumulated yellow cards. During this break, we were having more intensive trainings. We couldn't work together but it is great to have international players in the team. I'm satisfied with the approach, atmosphere and  we are planning to have extra fitness trainings. I'm sure in the next 3 months we will see difference."

"I'm not going to discuss the tactics and starting 11 for the match against Inter. We are ready for the match, we know them very well and they know us. I'm therefore expecting full engagement of my team. In this competition, everyone can win. With all due respect, if we stick to our plans, we are going to win" concluded Pusnik.
