Summary Hajduk – Gorica
All matches of the HNL Supersport HNL only look at MaxSport channel of Croatian Telecom.
– An extremely tough match, especially the first half, we were somehow far from their players. We won, we are the first and let's move on – Mlakar began.
Your goal opened the match?
– I'm happy about that, but more mean these three points to me than a goal. We know what the situation we are in, how much is the end and every victory is important to us. It means a lot to me, because behind me is one period in Italy where I didn't play much, but I was always calm and believed in myself. I didn't ask for a goal because when you look for too much, then it doesn't come.
You got the opportunity from the first minute and scored immediately?
– I do every training at the maximum, and the coach decides whether to give me a minute and colic. I'm happy to help the team.
Do you feel the spasm in the team?
– It's hard to explain, but it was already happening to fall in the last few games, maybe it's a desire. I think we are experienced now and that it will not happen again. Let's go from match to match. But we must not be afraid and we have to play relaxed, because we are the best then.

Is it harder to play matches against more demanding opponents or those in which points are already entered in advance?
– Every match is important, although it sounds like a cliché. These stronger matches may be easier, but they are all important. We see that the championship is even and that stronger teams lose points against weaker, on paper.
Do you go to Rijeka as a first -ranked team?
– These three points are important, we showed that we could, otherwise we would not be in that position. We stand side by side, which is our greatest strength – concluded the scorer of the first goal of Hajduk.
Hrgovicalthough he will not enroll as the scorer of the second and victorious goal of Hajduk, he is most credited with him.
– We got into the match badly, even though we scored, they were redeemed from the pressing. At halftime we agreed that we needed to be more aggressive and we endured to the end – Hrgovic began.
Gorica tried something more in the second half, but you were patiently waiting for the occasion and got out of 20 meters.
– They found me nicely, I scored my first goal, I don't care if I write or not, the main thing is that we took three points.

– There was no speech, we are a team and we need to trust each other. Whether it was Livaja or Mlakar, who scored today.
Was there a lot of pressure due to the weight of the match?
– Yes, but as in every game for Hajduk. We go to Rijeka as the first on the table and we must justify it.
Hajduk responds to playing these big games?
– Yes, even though we lost in Poljud against Rijeka, so we have anything to take revenge on them. Let's go up to win and I believe in my team – Hrgovic concluded.
