Zlatko Junuzovic was introduced as Werder Bremen's new acquisition last Monday and the 24-year-old was already in the starting line-up on Saturday in the away match against Freiburg. "Everything went so fast for me. A week ago I was still with my former club in training camp and today I played my first game in the Bundesliga," said "Juno", who could hardly believe everything that happened in the last few days. "I am really proud and happy."
Junuzovic's debut in Germany's highest league went exactly as he imagined. "I figured that everybody gives 100 percent for 90 minutes in the Bundesliga."
The Austrian international received praise from his coach for his performance at Mage Solar Stadium. "He showed what we expected from him," said Thomas Schaaf. Werder captain Clemens Fritz was also impressed. "It was a very successful debut. Zlatko was very agile up front. We played on the same side, and he worked well in the back as well. But that did not really surprise me since he showed during the week that he would give his all for the club. It's too bad that a good start was not rewarded with three points," said Fritz.
Junuzovic himself was also satisfied with his first 90 minutes of action on German soil. "I am altogether satisfied with my performance," said "Zladdi", who had the assist on the goal to make it 1-0. "That is a positive result for me, but I have not yet reached my top performance level. I have only been in training for a week. So it's clear that I will find my way more into the system over the next days and weeks. Everything is new for me here, also the diamond system. But this system provides a lot of opportunities - you can change positions so it's very variable. But the fine tuning was missing today."
