On January 31st, after officially joining Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Škorić, who is training with the team, was interviewed by Tianjin TV's "New Vision of Sports" program. Škorić talked about his feelings about the Chinese Super League and his impression of his new employer. At the same time, he also revealed that he got a hair transplant and that Balderrama no longer looks like Zidane, but Balderrama.
How did you feel when you first started playing in the Premier League and your memories of your debut?
Škorić: "My first game in the Chinese Super League was against Jinmen Tigers and I wasn't used to it at the time. Because I played in the Croatian league before, which is very different from the Chinese Super League, it took me about two months to adapt to the pace and style of play of the Chinese Super League when I came to China."
Attributes of a versatile player and position on the field
Škorđić: "I can play at center back and at the back. In the past season, I played at the back and center back. Next, I will play according to the manager's requirements, no matter how he uses me in the game. Let's wait and see."
Characterization and contribution of the attack
Škorđić: "I scored two goals last season because I often copped back shots near the box when I played at the back. Including set-pieces, there were chances to break through, but for me it was more important that the team kept winning. No matter who scores, it's not that important. I'll do my best to help the team like I always do."
Winter training status and recovery status
Škorđić: "The body is definitely difficult to recover at first, I should not have played officially for three months due to some personal reasons. So it takes some time to recover your personal strength, including your physical condition. But now, as time goes by, the recovery of this physical condition is getting better and better. I believe I will be ready when the new season comes."
Fioric, the new Croatian player, is also from Croatia.
Škorđić: "Fiorić also told me that it will be much easier for me when he adapts to the new team because I can help him to know things that he might take a long time to know. In this way, he can adapt better to the team and the Chinese culture. Fiorici is a good player and I believe his arrival can help us better."
Impressions of the new owner, Tenjinmenhu
Školjic: "I remember the first time I played against the Zimtigers, I thought it was a very good team, including a very good home game and a lot of fans. What we need to do next is to win more games for the team."
About their hairstyles and nicknames?
Školjic: "It's because of the shape of my head or my level. But please note that I have got a hair transplant and my hair is growing gradually. In a year, when my hair grows, maybe everyone will change my name. Don't be called Zidane, but Balderrama."
