CroatiaTiago Dantas, the midfielder of HNK Rijeka, reflected on the team's first preparatory match against Bravo in Kranjska Gora, which ended in a 2-1 victory. He acknowledged that while the team played well in the first half, they struggled physically in the second half and made unnecessary mistakes, such as losing possession and allowing the opponent to pressure them. Dantas emphasized that there is still much work to be done before the official season starts, particularly in improving physical readiness and tactical discipline. The team is training in Kranjska Gora for ten days, where conditions are good despite high temperatures. Rijeka is set to begin their Europa Conference League campaign on July 23 at their home stadium, and Dantas expressed confidence in the team's ability to meet the challenges ahead.
