Marco Djuricin spoke on the Sky discussion program 'Talk & Goals' about...
... the season so far and the team composition: "At 28, I'm the fourth oldest, but we had to go this way. There was no other way, but it's still fun. There are a lot of young ones coming up from the Academy and the Young Violets. There are some good players there. I think it's great and you can see the season is in order. So far we can be satisfied, but we'll be completely satisfied when we hopefully finish in the top six."
...On his relationship with the young players on the team: "I try to help them, I think I also get on their nerves. I've been to a lot of clubs and seen a lot. I was given little to no help. As an older player, sometimes you get on the nerves of the younger players, but that's normal and it's fitting. I'm always up for a laugh, but I also yell at them quite a bit. Nothing bad, I just tell them what they can do better."
"We want to make it, we can make it, but whether we make it is still up in the stars." - Marco Djuricin on the top six
...on the season's top-six goal: "We want to make it, we can make it, but whether we make it is still up in the stars. We still want to get as many points as we can in the next three games."
...on the economic situation at Austria Wien: "Of course you get that, but all I can say is that I can't comment on it. I'm a player and the most important thing is the club. The new people who came in the summer are doing a very good job - from the coach to the sports director, to Mr. Krisch. I hope this will all be sorted out soon."
"I'm feeling better already. I've already increased my training and I hope to be able to start this week." - Marco Djuricin on his injury
...about the upcoming Vienna derby: "I had my first Vienna derby without spectators. It was a disaster and also a bad game of both teams. It hurts. It is the most important game in Austria and that spectators are not allowed to come anymore is very sad. The fans are everything, you just need them, it's pure passion. But health comes first and we have to respect that."
...on his recovery process: "I'm already feeling better. I've already increased my training and I hope I can start this week and hopefully you'll see me on Sunday against Sturm Graz."
"I'm happy, I'm at Austria Wien, where I always wanted to play as an adult." - Marco Djuricin
...about living and playing in Vienna again: "It was a long time that I was not in Vienna. For me and my family it's very nice that we came home. I'm happy, I'm with Austria, where I always wanted to play as an adult. I'm happy and proud to play for Austria Wien."
...on the learning effects of his experience abroad: "I learned different things: mentality in training, ambition, in England I could learn good English. At the end in Karlsruhe it didn't go so well on the pitch and it was time for me to come home. Twelve years was too long and I'm glad to be home."
