Dinamo Zagreb coach Zoran Mamic: 'Arsenal are not world class'

Dinamo Zagreb coach Zoran Mamic claims that Arsenal are predictable after beating them in the Champions League.

Dinamo Zagreb coach Zoran Mamic has claimed that Arsenal are predictable after his side beat them in the Champions League.

The Croatian champions defeated the Gunners 2-1 in their opening match of the group stages on Wednesday evening.

Mamic has stated that he got his tactics spot on because he knew how Arsene Wenger's side would approach the game.

"Arsenal is one of the best teams who ever played here and they did exactly what we agreed they would do," Mamic told The Mirror. "We thought it would be very important to close the middle, to stop the fast passes.

"That's what we did and it's nothing new. We have already seen other teams who beat Arsenal use the same tactics. This is a good way to beat them.

"Arsenal has top four top international players, and other top players compared to Dinamo, but they are not world class. We just concentrated in not letting them come to the ball. It was probably one our best games tactically."

Arsenal next face Olympiakos in Europe on September 29.
