This summer, neither Kovacevic nor Boban were in shape!

The article discusses the reasons behind Dinamo Zagreb's failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League, focusing on the team's mistakes during the campaign. It references the legendary coach Valeriy Lobanovskyi's '18% rule,' which suggests that teams making errors within this range remain unbeatable. The author criticizes head coach Mario Kovačević, attributing the loss to significant errors by players, such as a controversial handball by Scott McKenna and poor distribution by Ivan Nevistić. The piece highlights statistical data showing Dinamo covered fewer kilometers than their opponents, suggesting lower intensity in matches. It calls for Kovačević to address systemic issues rather than just individual faults, while acknowledging his responsibility but noting that some aspects of the performance were beyond his control.
