“I’ve learned a lot” - Luka Jovic interview

Luka, how are you feeling ahead of the trip to Augsburg?

Luka Jovic: “I’m naturally a bit tired because we’ve been working very hard over the last two days. But there’s still enough time to prepare, rest and then be ready to go at Augsburg. I want to keep showing the coach what I can do in the remaining training sessions and stake my claim.”

Things have been going well for you recently. Have you been a little bit surprised yourself by your good run?

Jovic: “I’ve always believed in my qualities and I knew I’d get my chances if I worked hard enough. You always need a bit of luck, but then everything else comes from you. The recent goal against Borussia Mönchengladbach, for example, was one of the best goals I’ve ever scored. It was a great feeling. I’m pleased with how it’s going at the moment.”

How have you found your first few months here in Frankfurt and at Eintracht?

Jovic: “First and foremost I’ve learned a lot. The training, the coach and the whole environment have massively benefited my development. I’ve made progress on the physical side in particular, but I know I still have room to improve in some areas. Overall I can only say that I feel completely happy here.”

Has it been a big transition from Benfica?

Jovic: “It has, particularly in terms of training. Here the training is a lot harder. But when my move to Eintracht was finalised, I spoke to Mijat Gacinovic about it. I asked him what the intensity is like, so I knew what to expect.”
