“Very difficult match, but we will give everything to win. Good understanding with Koop, he can help me a lot”

Dusan Vlahovic spoke to Dazn before the Derby:

What did you say to your teammates who will face this match for the first time?
“Yes, for many of us it will be the first derby, it is certainly a very heartfelt, important match. We talked a bit, I shared some of my experiences and I hope to bring victory for the team. It will certainly be a very difficult match but we will give everything to win.”

At what point is your agreement with Koopmeiners?
“Yes, we will definitely need time because he also comes from a very different context compared to how we played here, even today we play differently. But the players get to know each other by playing together, the more they spend on the pitch together, the more they understand each other, the more the automatisms come automatically. We will need some time, but there is a good understanding and he can help me as much as I can help him.”

You return to the national team. Are you happy?
“Yes, I went twice due to family problems, I’m very happy to be back. Two challenging matches await us and we will give everything to win.”
