Luka Jovic has returned to his natural environment, to Eintracht, where he exploded and made merits to sign for Real Madrid. In the white team, the forward who amazed Europe has not yet been seen, which is why the Serbian has returned, on loan, and is returning to be who he was. There, Jovic has met again with his compatriot Kostic, with whom he maintained a very close relationship during his time at Madrid.
“We often spoke on the phone after our games. You could still tell that Luka still had Eintracht in his heart “, assures Kosic in an interview with the German newspaper 'Bild'. The left winger, who is very happy about the return of his compatriot, praises the forward still owned by Real Madrid. “He is a top striker, one of the best I have played with. Luka is dangerous in the area and has a great shot, as well as great timing when he heads off, “he says.
The relationship between the two players goes back a long way. In Jovic's first stage at the Eintracht, they were flesh and blood, as Kostic states: “We used to go to restaurants a lot”. Now, this is possible due to the coronavirus pandemic, so “we spend most of our time together having breakfast in the stadium, during training and in the gym,” he says.
These statements by Kostic make it clear that Jovic was not comfortable in his first year and a half at Real Madrid and that the Serbian forward 'has returned' to his comfort zone. It is true that above the words are the facts: Jovic has scored three goals in the three games he has played in his return to Eintracht, while at Real Madrid his score was zero.
