Matic hails the young players who did an amazing job against Leicester. He claims that the club can count on them in the future.
“They showed that they will be very important for our club in the future. They played with personality, they showed the character, so I was very happy to see them on the pitch,” Matic claimed.
He said, “The way they played was great, against a very good side in Leicester, it’s not easy to play.”
Matic added, “I remember when I was young, that I always watched the older players to see how they behave, how they play, how they train. I always try to be an example for the young players. I hope that I can help them.”

Matic says, “It was not easy to prepare for this game.”
