Mateo Susic got a chance for his national team debut in the match with Luxembourg several days ago. He talked with us today about his first match:

"I was nervous, but it in a good way. But when you get out on the field, it all goes away, especially because there were my teammates whom I knew from before - Anicic, Sunjic and Besic. However, only after the game I realized that time finally came for me to make a debut for the national team. When you go out there with major players such as Pjanic, Dzeko, Zukanovic, or Sunjic you become aware that you're a part of it all. I can't describe that, it's something you wait for the whole time, and finally the hard work pays off and you become grateful for everything that's happened."

Susic had no problem fitting in, and his first impressions are positive: "All new players are accepted in a very good way, and so was I. As I've said already, there were players with whom I played in junior teams so it was easier to get used to everything. The atmosphere is great, older players welcomed us very well and they keep an eye on us."

Through laughter, Mateo added that he likes to drink coffee and watch television, and mentioned that he has a few secret talents."
