Ovo je sastav Dinama za lov na Ligu prvaka! Kovačević ima jednu dvojbu, sprema se i novi odlazak

Dinamo has announced its lineup for the upcoming Champions League match against FC Thun, set for July 21st. The team's final preparatory game will take place at Maksimir Stadium in Zagreb at 8 PM. Due to the venue being closed to the public, including journalists, detailed reports on the match itself remain limited. However, internal information suggests that the club is confident in its preparations, with manager Marija Kovačević expecting a solid performance ahead of the European campaign. The proposed starting XI for the Thun clash includes Filipović in goal, with Valinčić, Dominguez, McKenna, and Galešić forming the defensive line. In midfield, Zajc, Mišić, and Vidović are expected to play key roles, while the attacking trio consists of Bakrar, Beljo, and Oršić. This setup reflects the current state of readiness, though there is still uncertainty around certain positions. Kovačević appears to have a dilemma between starting Scottish midfielder McKenna, who returned from the World Cup, or Croatian defender Galešić. There is speculation that goalkeeper Dominik Livaković might stay for the initial games before potentially moving to Fenerbahçe, although this decision is likely to be made after discussions scheduled for Monday, July 20th. Meanwhile, former player Stjepan Radeljić, who played alongside Galešić at Rijeka, has been granted a longer break following the World Cup. He is expected to join the squad this week. Another point of interest is Monsef Bakrar, who is close to joining Egyptian side Al-Ahly. Despite Dinamo having rejected two offers, recent indications suggest the transfer is nearing completion. If finalized quickly, Bakrar could depart before the first match against Thun, which would mean he wouldn't compete for a spot in the starting line-up. Dinamo is reportedly set to receive compensation of up to three million euros, along with bonuses and a percentage of future transfers. Sergiu Dominguez, another key player, is increasingly linked with AS Roma. Although he has expressed his desire to continue playing for Dinamo through the Champions League qualifiers, the move to Serie A seems inevitable once the competition concludes. While Roma is the closest contender, other clubs could still enter the picture, making the situation fluid. In terms of tactics, Dinamo is unlikely to change its approach for the match against Thun. Manager Kovačević has emphasized maintaining the team’s established style of play, particularly given their recent performances and the quality of their preparation. While Thun will be analyzed thoroughly, the focus remains on sticking to Dinamo’s identity rather than adapting significantly to the opponent. To better understand Thun’s capabilities, Kovačević has sent analysts Mihael Minđek and assistant coach Matija Jajala to Germany. They observed two of Thun’s preparatory matches, during which the Swiss champions performed modestly. They drew 1-1 against newly promoted Bundesliga side Elversberg and lost 1-3 to third-tier German side Waldorf. Overall, Thun’s form has been inconsistent, and Dinamo is prepared to face them with confidence. The team’s strategy remains unchanged, and they are ready to challenge in the Champions League.
