Here's how Schildenfeld explains the Swiss fairy tale

Dinamo Zagreb is set to face FC Thun in their first match of the new season in the Champions League qualifiers. FC Thun, who won the Swiss second division last season and were promoted to the top flight, have already experienced significant changes, including the departure of their coach and several key players. Dinamo's coach, Mario Kovačević, expressed respect for Thun but emphasized his team's focus on securing a win in the opening game. Former Croatian international and RTL commentator Gordon Schildenfeld noted that while Thun's recent success is impressive, the club has undergone major transitions that could impact their performance this season. He also warned about potential challenges posed by artificial turf, which may affect player safety and performance. Thun's coach, Gian-Luca Privitelli, acknowledged the threat posed by Dinamo, particularly highlighting the attacking capabilities of their forward Dion Drena Beljo, who scored 31 goals in the previous league season. The two matches will take place on July 21 and 28, both starting at 20:00 local time, and will be broadcast exclusively on RTL's main channel and the VOYO platform.

See why Rabbit got a yellow card in the second minute of the game against Thun

Miha Zajc, vezni igrač Dinama, dobio je žuti karton već u drugoj minuti utakmice protiv švicarskog Thuna u 2. pretkolu Lige prvaka zbog povlačenja. Sudac je odlučio primijeniti strogi kriterij od početka utakmice, što predstavlja veliki uteg za Zajca, koji će morati pažljivo pratiti svoj ponašanje tokom ostalih minuta. Utakmica se odigrava 21. srpnja, a ponovna utakmica će biti na Maksimiru 28. srpnja. Objave su dostupne ekskluzivno na RTL-u i platformi Voyo, dokazuje tekstualni prijenos na portalu Net.hr.

Copper announced in the Dynamo's starting lineup, but still won't start from the first minute.

Moncef Bakrar, an Algerian forward for Dinamo Zagreb, was expected to start in their opening match against Swiss side Thun but has been left on the bench. The decision was made due to his imminent transfer to Egyptian club Al Ahly, which is nearly finalized. While there are no open questions between the clubs, final details between Bakrar and his new team are still being sorted out. This has led the coach, Mario Kovačević, to opt for Mateo Lisica in the starting lineup instead. It remains uncertain whether Bakrar will get any playing time during the match or if he will return to Dinamo for future games after his transfer is officially confirmed.
