-First of all, I`d like to congratulate my teammates on a great battle and performance. We knew what to expect – TSC is a good side, undefeated in thirteen. Luckily, we managed to pick up three points. I scored the second, they equalized followed by a great free-kick strike from Chaki (Urosevic) and we are over the moon now. It`s a very important win for us.

The goal is scored is quite important to me, most importantly for the team and for the three points while it also did a lot for my confidence. This goal is for my wife who always says “if you score, celebrate it for me”. I scored finally and this is for her”.
