Zagreb (from our reporter) – Although he led Sparta to the championship title after nine years, Priske is still waiting for a win in Europe with them. A year ago, he was eliminated from the preliminary rounds of the Conference League with Viking Stavanger (1:2, 0:0). Will the Danish coach succeed against Dinamo?
“Thanks for the reminder, maybe I’ll sleep harder now. No, seriously now. It’s not a bad record, but that’s football. We’ll definitely be fighting to break this record of mine on Thursday,” said Priske. According to him, the rematch with Copenhagen, in which they played excellently, will give Sparta courage, even though the opponent was happy about the progress.

“I believe that this match will give us confidence. The result was not what we imagined, but we played really well. We showed that we can be confident in big games. That’s what you need in games like this,” said the 46-year-old Dane, as his men surveyed the pitch of the Maksimir Stadium. They completed the pre-match training in an unusual way in Prague.

The changes that took place in Dinamo after Saturday’s elimination from the fight for the Champions League by AEK Athens can be a certain advantage for the people of Prague. The crash cost the coach Biščan’s place, the club reacted to the failure and the associated lack of finances by selling the defender Šatal to Ajax and the national team player Livakovič to Fenerbahce.
“I don’t think it’s to our advantage. We try to respond to changes. We know how Dinamo played under the former coach, but now he is no longer here. However, we mainly focus on our style,” said Priske.

Due to the postponement of the rematch of the duel in Athens due to the recent violence, Sparta learned the name of the opponent only on Saturday. Is it a nuisance? “The preparation is the same as for any other duel. We have good scouting and analysts who always have good information. They prepared for both possible opponents, they did a great job. Of course, we are in anticipation, we are trying to prepare for the new situation in Dinamo. However, the main thing is up to us, we want to bring a good result to Prague for the revenge,” said the Danish coach.
It is said that he has already told the team ahead of time which eleven will play the doubleheader with Dinamo. “It’s best for the boys to know in advance who is going to play. but it was again a big dilemma for us coaches to choose the starting line-up,” added Priske.
