Davor Suker was one of Real Madrid's best
strikers. He also played for Dinamo Zagreb, who asked him to advise them
for the clash against the Whites.
"I see Real Madrid winning every tournament this season. They
are clear favourites to win the Champions League. Jose Mourinho and
Florentino Perez want to build a winning team, but they need time. They
had a very good run last season and they will be even better this year."
"Dinamo Zagreb use a 4-4-2 system adapted to today's fast moving
football. They don't really have fixed positioning. They are a strong
team. They are solid in defence and don't complicate things for
themselves. Bedelj is their main man. Every ball goes through his feet
and, if he has a good day, he can be dangerous against any side. He has
great vision and moves the ball well."
"Dinamo are capable of scoring many goals. Forwards Situm, Rukavina,
Beqiraj and Krstanovic are solid. They area young team that fears no
opponent. They want to prove their quality in Europe twelve years after
their last appearance in the Champions League."
"They deserved to win their league game this weekend. They played better
than their opponent and had more chances to score. They may have been
concentrating on Wednesday's match already. Facing Real Madrid is an
event and they want to do well."
"I'm sure they'll defend fiercely and try to score through
counterattacks. It would be crazy to try to face Real Madrid as equals. I
think we'll see many goals and, if they score first, Dinamo could cause
trouble for the Whites. The fear they may have will be key. They could
cause trouble for the Madridistas if they're confident."
"Dinamo are very excited about playing in the Champions League 12 years
later. They are in a strong group, but I'm conviced they can hurt their
three opponents. They may have greater chances against Olympique
Lyonnais and Ajax, but nothing is impossible in football. They focus on
each game at a time. I think Real Madrid will qualify as group leaders."
