Bring in the capital del Segura just over two weeks, although it already seems much longer.
“Creo que he elegido un buen club, con buenos jugadores, buenos compañeros que me han acogido estupendamente desde el principio†, relata Nenad Mijatovic, el último fichaje del Club Baloncesto Murcia.
“La ciudad es increíble, aún no he tenido tiempo para visitarlo todo, pero hasta el momento, estoy impresionado con lo que he visto†, afirma el base montenegrino, el cual también se muestra encantado con la comida española, de la que dice que es
Â
"Very good".
Undoubtedly, the presence of current teammate Ivan Opacak is finding it very positive, obviously yet to master the language:
“Todavía no sé español.
He empezado a estudiarlo por mi cuenta, ya que no tengo profesor.
Me ha venido muy bien que Opacak esté aquí, porque me traduce en los entrenamientos, me lleva a conocer la ciudad, los restaurantes y está muy bien tener a alguien así a tu lado, que habla tu lengua; ya que si no, todo es muy difícilâ€.
Lo cierto es que a Mijatovic no le pudieron ir mejor las cosas en su estreno en la Liga ACB, ya que su nuevo equipo venció en la pista del Unicaja (74-78):
Â
"I think it was entrusted to us, something that we take.
With this victory we have taken a leap and most importantly we are out of the relegation zone. "
Y con respecto a sus sensaciones, considera
Â
that "it went wrong for the first game, but of course I can do a thousand times better."
Trivia: dorsal, tattoos and prizes
To choose his number in the CB Murcia, was based on the number he had worn in his previous team, Buducnost, and for ten years in the selection.
In this way, his favorite was the '9 ', but being occupied by Alexis Montas, opted for a multiple:
“Y como 3x3 es 9, de ahí la unión de los dos 3= 33â€.
Y es que todos los símbolos que porta Mijatovic poseen un significado.
Por ejemplo, en la espalda lleva un tatuaje en el que, sobre dos perros rottweiler, se puede leer 'Guardians'.
Â
"In recent years I have gone wrong with some teammates, with clubs and also personal friends, have not been good to me ... this means symbolically that I protect myself"
explica.
Por otro lado, en el torso presenta tres dibujos más, aunque él los cuenta
Â
"As one."
"On the chest I have pictures of my parents, which does not have much explanation, because I think for me are the most important and I am very proud of them.
I know they would do everything for me and this is like a tribute or a sign of my thanks, as always be in my heart, "said Mijatovic, who forgets the third mark 'Family First' on your waist and complete the above explanation.
In another vein, it is noteworthy that the new base Murcia is an icon in his country.
Not surprisingly, in 2006 was named 'Best Young Athlete' of Montenegro, which
“significa muchoâ€
Â
for him, because as stated at the time:
“Voy a seguir trabajando duro para no defraudarlesâ€.
Por último, comentar que también en Internet levanta pasiones:
Â
"The blame for this my brother has it.
He has developed pages on Facebook, both the fans and the group, which are opened only recently and am very happy because there are about 600 fans and 400 members of the group. "
"This means a lot to me because I get that support," he ends.
