Capan: I don’t hold anything against Hajduk. We know what it’s like to turn around such a minus, step by step

– We analyzed the first game, the result was very unfavorable for us, we discussed the games, pointed out our mistakes and Hajduk’s strengths. When Valdas Dambrauskas was the coach here, I was there, in the stadium, I felt the atmosphere, which is unusual for us, but I want us to accept this as an experience and play a good game. I try to visit him every year, he is our best coach, we are friends, I watched his training sessions, learned how and what he does, and I enjoyed how Hajduk played then – Skerla started.

Did Valdas give you any advice?

– We talked many times, he told me that it was the best team for him, he has great memories of Split. Now it is difficult to compare the strength of our league and the Croatian league and to compete, it is not easy. We are moreć once they did a feat against Dinamo Tbilisi, it’s hard to repeat the feat, especially since Hajduk is a completely different team from them. I know who we’re playing against, sometimes mistakes happen, but not when you expect them.

Petre, how does it feel to return home?

– Good, I’m happy to be here again, in the stadium I dreamed of playing in. It’s a bit strange, now I’m coming in a green jersey. It’s not the best result for us after the first game, but we have the second game to try to do our best and achieve the best possible result.

Can you repeat what you did against Dinamo Tbilisi, when you made up for the three goal deficit?

– It is a similar situation, but the big difference is that we played the first game at home, and the return game is played in Split. It will be difficult, I am watching Hajduk, it will be difficult for them to be after Istria, I know what the situation is, the pressure, and we also know our strength, in football one mistake can take the game in a completely different direction.

Did you warn your teammates about the atmosphere in the stadium?

– They asked me, but it’s hard to describe to someone what it’s like until they experience it first hand. It will certainly be a good opportunity for them to feel the atmosphere and I hope they will enjoy it.

Did you watch Hajduk’s match with Istra and what can you say?

– It was a special match for me because these are my two clubs. It didn’t end well for Hajduk, we’ll see how they react tomorrow against us. They showed some things where they can be threatened, we will try to direct the match to our mill.

Marko, you are coming back shortly after you left, you scored a goal in the first game?

– I left six months ago, it’s a special feeling for those of us who played here. I scored and it was very emotional for me, but I was happy on my own.

You have turned Dinamo Tbilisi, can you also turn Hajduk?

– It is not easy to lose by three points, last time we succeeded, tomorrow we only have to focus on playing a good game, scoring a goal and being the best we can be. We don’t have to chase the result, but go step by step, like against Dinamo Tbilisi.

What is your best memory from Hajduk?

– Debi, and you all know about Pričus junior Champions League. I have no complaints, I was in the first team, I had a lot of injuries, some big, it wasn’t time for me and I left. Now I’m working on myself, I want to be better, we’ll see what happens tomorrow, I want to be the best version of myself, who knows, maybe I’ll get the chance to come back one day.

Ž Do you want to prove to Hajduk tomorrow that they were wrong to let you go?

– No, I’m not sorry for them or anyone I resent, I had a lot of problems with injuries, it wasn’t the right time for me. ŽI now want to prove myself through Žalgiris and I think this is a good club and opportunity for me.
