Bosnia and Herzegovina Under-16 national football team is having a training session in Zenica and today, on his birthday, a young player from FK Zeljeznicar Ahmed Hasanovic talked about the national team, his career and role models.

"We're working in excellent conditions here. The training center offers us everything we need in order to prepare well for the obligations that await us. These winter meetings are very important because they give us a chance to get back into shape after the break, and besides it's the best motivation for work.

I started playing football when I was six years old. I've always enjoyed watching football games and I immediately realized this is the sport I want to do. And now being a part of the national team my dream came true. I'd like to play for the "A" team one day."

In addition to the national team, Hasanovic is successful in his club as well: "I'm happy in Zeljeznicar, we took the top spot, and we want to win the title this season."

His role models are our own Edin Dzeko and Miralem Pjanic.
