Dinamo had already written him off, he was on the threshold of the rival, and then Kovacevic said - no, he has to stay!

The article discusses recent developments in the Croatian Football League (HNL) season opener, focusing on the match between Dinamo Zagreb and Slaven Belupo, which Dinamo won 2-0. It highlights coach Mario Kovačević’s tactical changes, particularly his decision to keep player Lukas Kačavenda despite him being close to leaving for Rijeka. The article criticizes Dinamo’s lack of a replacement for defender Josip Mišić, suggesting they could have used Branko Pavić, now at Rijeka. It also mentions potential new signings like Russian goalkeeper Kiril Kravcov and other players. The piece contrasts Kovačević’s approach with that of Matjaž Kek, who made fewer changes for his team’s win against Rudesh. The article also covers other matches, including a dramatic draw between Istra 1961 and Lokomotiva, and comments on controversial goal disallowals due to referee decisions.
