Legendary Croatian captain Zvonimir Boban is September 6 live on They maximize followed the sensational victory of Dinamo against Chelsea. Of course, the great Zvone was cheering for his ‘blues’ then, but this time the feelings will be divided.
On Tuesday from 9 p.m Dinamo will host in the fifth round of the Champions League Milan. A game that is to be or not to be for both the Croatian and Italian champions, if they want to reach the Champions League round of 16 or at least the third place that leads to the Europa League. Boban, the legend of Dinamo and Milan, will follow the match from the Maksimir stands, among the many guests. These two clubs played exactly 20 years ago when the legendary ‘fiery’ retired.
Zvone gave an interview to Rai Radio 1, and one of the topics was the match at Maksimir.
– Obviously, Milan can win against Dinamo Zagreb. The quality is on Milan’s side, and I am sure that the Croats will sell their skin dearly. It won’t be easy, just like it won’t be easy for me because these are the two teams of my life. I will go to the stadium. Milan has arranged the team well, but there are still some positions that need to be strengthened, but that will also depend on the ambitions of the club, how much you want to invest to get back to the top. Some things I don’t think are at the level of a championship team. You have to think about big things, otherwise it’s hard to get back to the top – said Boban.
Maybe he is not sure who he will support, but there are 23,000 fans who will fill the sold-out Maksimir on Tuesday. It will be a spectacular atmosphere and a huge wind at the back of Dinamo, who are still in the game for the round of 16 of the Champions League. It will be very difficult because the other results have to match, but as long as there is a chance…
To qualify for the playoffs, they must defeat the Rossoneri and then, depending on the other matches, take points from Chelsea. And the “blues” could secure the European spring with a victory. If they celebrate with three points against Milan, third place will be in their pocket.
Boban gave a few words about Serie A. Who will win the title this season?
– Spalletti’s Napoli seems really mature, they have an extraordinary atmosphere and you can see that they are a team that believes in themselves. They are very balanced. As far as the game goes, they seem ready to go all the way. Milan have a great character, although they don’t play as well as Napoli. In the direct match, however, the Rossoneri played better. I say that Inter could also return to the race for the Scudetto. If Lukaku returns to the same level he was at two years ago, anything can happen.
