Nemanja Andusic joined Zorya Luhansk quite recently, but in this short period of time he has already managed to be remembered by the Black and Whites' fans. First of all, for his football maturity, calmness on and off the field. We offer you a short interview with the player about his adaptation in Ukraine and at Zorya Luhansk:
- Nemanja, you are one of the latest newcomers to our team in this transfer window. How did your adaptation go or is it going?
-I adapted very quickly here. There are a lot of Balkan players in the team, so they helped me to adapt better and faster. The whole team helped me and I'm very grateful to everyone for that.
-You played almost your entire career in the Bosnian league. Was it difficult for you to move to Ukraine, where there is a war?
-I talked to Dejan Popara before joining the club. Why with him, you may ask? Because he is also from Bosnia and Herzegovina. I asked him about the situation in the country, about my future club. He told me everything. He said that our team is great, promising. Yes, there is a war going on and it's very sad. We also went through all this in our time. But life goes on. In addition, moving to a new country is a challenge for me.
- How was your first air raid alert?
- It was something new. When I heard the air raid for the first time, it was unusual, scary, but then, like all the people around me in Ukraine, I got used to it and now I am calm.
-What can you say about our country?
-I didn't know anything about Ukraine before I moved here. Now I see the country, I live in Kyiv. It is a very wonderful city. I am very happy to live and be here. Kyiv, to me, is similar to the city of Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina. There are also a lot of people, a lot of cars. The fact that there is a curfew in Ukraine did not affect me in any way. I'm a family man, so I'm not interested in nightlife.
- Was there anything that surprised you in Ukraine?
- I've never played in a stadium as big as Arena Lviv before. It's something incredible. When you see and play in stadiums with such infrastructure, you forget that there is a war in Ukraine. I wish all Ukrainians that the war ends as soon as possible and peace comes to each of your cities.
-You have already played several matches. What can you say about our championship?
-When I compared the Ukrainian championship with the Bosnian championship, I came to the following conclusion - the teams here play faster. In Bosnia, there is a lot of struggle, a lot of duels during the match, a lot of clashes. They play against you quite tightly. In my opinion, in this respect, it is easier to play in Ukraine, because there is space, opportunity and time to create and invent something.
- What do you think Zorya lacks now?
- We have a good, young team. In my opinion, we need more courage during the game, to be tougher, to believe in ourselves more. These qualities will help us progress. It's also important that if you make a mistake somewhere, if you don't play the way you want to, you need to keep going, keep working, and believe that we will succeed.
- What is your personal goal for this season?
- I want to show Zorya everything I can, to show the best of myself and do everything in my power to help the team get results.
