- The Austrian training camp is nearing the end, how do you feel and what is your opinion about the work completed?

I feel really good, and if I can add, this pre-season is much better than the three week training camp, in a professional sense. The company is excellent, and we are all motivated to carry out good work. Despite the fact that Joan was a coach until now, we have maximum respect towards him and I feel that this respect is mutual. Overall I can only be positive about the things that he has told us in the training camp, and the completed work.

- You set up a goal in the first friendly match, and also scored a nice goal. This can only help your confidence, true?

This is correct. Each player is clear with the fact that they start with a clean slate at the beginning of a new season. This also applies to those players that Joan is already familiar with. I feel that there will be a massive battle to get in to the side, and there are no guaranteed places. Naturally every goal is very important, independent of who the opponents are.

- The Journalists and supporters both mentioned your return from a serious injury last September, and the fact that you could not produce the performances expected of you, as had been the case before you broke your collarbone. How do you feel about this?

Things went well for both the team and me before the injury. The injury was a big trauma for me. One thing certain is that it is good to play well in a good team, and now everything is in place for us to be good, so it is only down to us. I hope that things will go better for me. My previous injury will not stop me from giving my all in games and I will not be shy to go in for any challenges.

- What are you expectations for the season ahead?

Vidi is the team that if a run begins, then there must also be good performances and this is rightly expected from us. There were many promises last season, so I would not like to promise anything. I always concentrate on the task ahead, which will be on Wednesday against Jablonec in a friendly. We need to take things nicely step-by-step, and to carry out our work with humility, so that the hard work being put in now will be enough for us to achieve our aims.
