Dmitrovic became this Sunday officially a new player of the Seville, a club with which he signed for four seasons after fulfilling his contract at Eibar. The Serbian goalkeeper will be presented to the press this Monday, although he has already left his impressions to the club's media, in which he explained the illusion with which he arrives at Sánchez Pizjuán, where he replaces the Czech Tomas Vaclik, who left the club.

“I am very happy, really. It was a goal and a dream to reach such a great club. After four years in Eibar it was the perfect moment to take a giant step in my career, find a club that always competes to be at the top and play European competitions, so very happy, really, “said the new Sevilla player. that considers the Andalusian entity to be a great of Spain.

“It is the club that has everything I wanted. I am very adapted to life in Spain, to LaLiga and it was a perfect moment to take a step forward. I wanted to stay in LaLiga and be in a team that fights for titles, that plays the best European competition. It is a club that continues to grow year after year and has the same ambition as me. I am convinced that I could not find a better place than Seville “, repeated the Serbian, who will have a tough competition with the Moroccan:” It will be very beautiful. He's a great goalkeeper, he's been here for a year and a half at a brutal level and he's a very good person. I have been able to speak with him a couple of times, he greeted me before coming here and that is a detail that shows his humility. He is a great goalkeeper and that will help us both to improve. We are going to compete for a very demanding position and the benefits will be for the club. We will both try to give everything that the coach asks of us. I am ambitious. Every player wants to play and I chose Sevilla because I know I have options to compete for the position. I am going to do it from day one and I am going to leave everything for when I have to play, to help achieve the objectives of a very exciting season ”.

Jokes about his goals and Bono's

Dmitrovic joked that both he and Bono have scored goals. “In my entire career, since I was little, I took free kicks and penalties. He was physically bigger than his teammates and had a fairly powerful left foot. He was scoring a lot at that time and lately in Eibar, when there were free moments after training, he threw the fouls. We had a bad time with penalties, we missed more than 50% and Mendilibar had been telling me for some time that he was going to give me a chance, albeit half as a joke. One or two games before the game against Atlético he told me that I would throw it if they whistled us one and I scored in that game. Then I failed the next one and since then I didn't throw more ”.

The new Sevilla goalkeeper has had good references. “I have spoken with some players, several times with Gudelj, with Joan Jordán … I know that there is a family similar to what Jordán and I had in Eibar. I hope to find myself a humble and united group, but also demanding and prepared to continue fighting for the highest level ”.
