Hajduk coach Joan Carrillo held a pre-match press conference at Poljud ahead of the match Hajduk - Istra, which will be played on Sunday at Poljud stadium, kick - off 21:00. He answereed on numerous questions of journalists, first about the match against Everton and then about the next opponent of Hajduk in the domestic championship (HT First Division round 7).

"The Europa League is behind us, ahead of us are two goals, we continue to work with the same intensity in order to achieve maximum success in the remaining two competitions, in the HT First Division and the Croatian Cup and thus realize the prerequisits that the next year we compete for the Champions League" said Carrillo.

"Futacs, Ohandza, and Hamze will not play, Hamza for accumulated yellow cards. Yesterday we had a light training, today we are having a more serious one. Physical fatigue is present but I hope the players will overcome it. We'll see after today's training who's ready for the next match".

"Players are fully prepared for Istra. They play more defensive this year. The attacker, the Ukrainian player Matyazha, is quite tall, he can create problems. Milos and Solomon are no longer playing. We have to be pretty organized to score. We know it may be difficult, but we're going to do it in the best way" concluded Carrillo.
