“My opinion is always that players need to be happy. You cannot keep them in the squad if they are not happy.”

“I like to be important for the team. That's it: to try and help my team Southampton to give fans pleasure to enjoy.”

“My hometown, Backa Topola, was in the north of the country near the Hungarian border. It is a nice part of Serbia, and I am very happy I grew up there.”

“Everything I heard about Southampton was nice, and I know that they want to play good football.”

“I like to score and create goals. If a team-mate is in a better position, you need to search for him.”

“I learnt a lot of things in Holland, as people have great vision there. It improved me as a player and a person. I had very good coaches that wanted to play offensive football and dominate games and be better than their opponent. You also need to play for your team-mates as well as yourself; then, afterwards, you can show your own quality.”

“I did good in the Premier League.”

“Sometimes you have tough moments, sometimes good moments, and this is normal in football.”

“We are very passionate and very emotional people in Serbia. Everything we do, it is done with emotions. We are very good at sport, tennis, basketball, football ,water polo, volleyball. We always try to show this character and use it.”

“When I was young, always in Serbia there were some telenovelas on television, Spanish language. Then you listen, listen, listen, you watch one series, and then you can understand.”
