"I was very happy and sincerely delighted when I received the national team invitation from the national team manager. I was glad to be a member of the national team again. An unusual series starts in March, as the stakes are to get to the World Cup. For me, this series starts with a special game, as we will play at home against Poland, and our opponent's national team manager is Paulo Sousa, with whom we achieved unforgettable success 9 years ago. I am sure that the Hungarian-Polish match will be an emotional meeting for him as well. There are many players in the Polish national team with whom or against whom I have played before, which also increases the prestige of the game for me. We are confidently looking forward, not only to the match against the Poles, but to the entire qualifying series. We have already proven in the Nations League that we are able to beat teams that are considered better than us. In my opinion, the Poles are no better than the Russians or the Serbs, and we did not fail against these national teams, so we have every chance of defeating the Poles." - commented Nemanja Nikolic.
