Stojkovic motivated for contest against ‘great opponent’ Milan and two star wingers | OneFootball

Dinamo Zagreb’s Luka Stojkovic has admitted that he is relishing the chance to face off against AC Milan, and in particular players like Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic.

Going into the final game of the first phase of the competition, Dinamo currently sit on eight points and just two places below the play-off zone. They can therefore qualify for the knockout phase, but they must win and hope other results go their way.

Stojković will play an important role too given his versatility, while waiting to see whether the home side sit deep and counter or try play on the front foot from the off. He has featured on both flanks so far this season across his 17 appearances, with a goal and an assist to his name.

Stojkovic was present alongside head coach Fabio Cannavaro for the press conference at the Stadion Maksimir on the eve of the match against Milan and his comments were transcribed by MilanNews.

How are you feeling ahead of the game?

“Milan are a great opponent, with a great history. It will be a difficult match, but we hope to win.”

Where can you hurt Milan?

“Of course we studied Milan and we will do so again. We will play as a team.”

Are you ready?

“Yes, the atmosphere is good, we are happy and very motivated.”

Do you take inspiration from Leao and Pulisic?

“Of course, they are great players. They play for a great club. I watch them and try to improve myself, they motivate me.”
