This is Garcia's triumph, and the break helped Hajduk. The new Bambi deal? He came...

The article discusses Hajduk's successful week, highlighting their victories over Dinamo, Ajax, and Varaždin. It frames this success as a triumph for coach Gonzalo García and his team, emphasizing their ability to compete against favored opponents. The piece references a podcast by Vladimir Balić, who comments on the significance of these wins and hints at potential developments regarding player contracts, possibly involving 'Bambi.' The article suggests that the break in activity may have benefited Hajduk's performance.

Vladimir Balić discussed the recent success of Hajduk Split in a podcast, highlighting coach Gonzalo García's triumph and suggesting that the team's break might have benefited them. The club has had a successful week, defeating Dynamo Zagreb, Ajax, and Varazdin in just seven days. This period was anticipated as crucial for Hajduk, and they managed it without any mistakes. García and his team have demonstrated their ability to compete with favored opponents. Marko Livaja was substituted in the 65th minute during the match against Varazdin, despite receiving a passing grade for his performance. His play was far below his usual standards, according to Sofascore ratings, which gave him a score of 6.3, the lowest among all 16 Hajduk players. He managed only one shot, 27 touches, two fouls committed, 12 lost ball possessions, and 58 percent accurate passes. Although he made some key passes, his overall impact was lacking. Ivan Rakitić received a more lenient rating of 6.5 due to his contributions to the Croatian national team and his arrival at Poljud on the recommendation of local businessman Marko Braić. However, Livaja's lack of consistent starting role under García has raised questions. Since returning to Hajduk in February 2021, Livaja has struggled to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup despite being considered the best player in the league. Livaja has played in 19 matches this season, starting only once and coming on as a substitute in several others. Despite this, Hajduk managed to win matches without him, indicating that the team does not solely rely on his performance. The club's recent victories over Dynamo and Ajax were achieved without Livaja's involvement, showcasing the depth of the squad. The match against Varazdin proved challenging, with the visitors showing strong teamwork and stability. Coach Nikola Šafrić has significantly improved the team's quality, elevating them to a level worthy of European competition. Despite these challenges, Hajduk managed to secure the three points needed, demonstrating resilience and adaptability.
