“Everyone came, everything is in order”, Ciprić said, and then answered a question about readiness of Haris Duljević, who had been injured in the previous period:

“He is in the training process and is fine for now. We’ll see in these four training sessions how ready he is.”

The journalists were interested in how much the captain Edin Džeko would miss, to which Ciprić replied:

“We will miss Edin a lot at this gathering, because of his playful and human qualities. The situation is as it is, we have to look optimistically at these matches.”

Gordan Ciprić also commented on the national team of Finland:

“I guess they will play more closed this time, given that one point is enough for them. We’ve analysed Finns a lot, but first of all, we have to pay attention to what we will be like. If we do not fail, then we have a great chance in this match, and I hope we will play one real game. We must attack and seek victory, because only victories are right for us.”
