00:00How do you think about it?
00:11Well, when you think about it, I have been reflecting on it recently now when I'm getting old in the football world.
00:2015 years is a long time, but it's going faster and faster the older you are.
00:28But it's been 15 good years, so hopefully there is more to come.
00:38Now, of course, as a footballer or anywhere else in life, you aim to win.
00:45And of course, every year we aim for trophies, so I've been lucky and also I've worked hard for it.
00:54So for me, it's good to win these trophies, but I'm always hungry for more.
01:00So I also had two cup finals here that we lost, so it hurts a lot.
01:08But hopefully I will take maybe this season, I hope.
01:14But we'll see. It's always hard work behind everything.
01:18What can I say?
01:19Well, what can I say? I was quite young at the time, so my dream was always to play in…
01:32For me, my favorite dream when I was young was Juventus, so it was Italy.
01:37But for me, it was to play in a top five league.
01:41I think for every player it's like this.
01:43So, of course, it was a big move and I was happy to get this move.
01:51And yeah, for me it was good. It was like a dream come true.
01:57But of course, you have to work.
02:00How did you move to China?
02:05Well, the move to China was… I had a very good season in Dugaran in 2020.
02:12And then they gave a good offer and I thought it would be a good challenge.
02:16At the time it was great players also in China.
02:20But it was a lot of problems there with Covid, with close down and everything.
02:28So it didn't really go as I was hoping.
02:31So then I wanted to revive my career in Turkey.
02:37But to go back to Norway was not really an option.
02:42And also this club my brothers play for now is not where my hometown anyway.
02:48So for me it was not really an option.
02:51What do you think of your team?
02:56Yes, actually I had a few times offers from America.
03:03So, but also I was thinking the timing was not right for me.
03:10But also there I know the league is growing very fast and a lot.
03:14So, but until now I did really fit with what I wanted with my career.
03:21But who knows, maybe, maybe in the future even though I get, I'm getting older.
03:31Well, in England I think it's a little different because you have a lot of tourists at any game.
03:37So, so for me actually in Poland and also in Sweden because I play in Stockholm.
03:47The Stockholm Derby is a very big rivalry.
03:50So actually in that games and also obviously against Galatasaray and also the cup final was also against the rival in Turkey.
04:00So, and also in Poland.
04:02As I said, this is a very unpredictable league.
04:12I think it's very small margins.
04:15So, it's a very tough league.
04:18This is not so easy to explain, but obviously it's exciting for the fans.
04:25So hopefully we can win more of these games and create more joy for our own fans.
04:34So hopefully we will have more stable results in the future now.
04:39Well, as I said earlier I think the teams who is playing in Europe is doing quite well.
04:52And also as I said, even the team that is last in the league is very competitive.
05:00It's not always like this in other leagues because normally in some leagues you can think you won the game before almost you enter the pitch.
05:12Not in the head, but you know what I mean.
05:14Like here all games are tough and also around there are a lot of fans in every game.
05:23So for me I can see also Poland itself is growing as a country outside of football.
05:32So I think everything is in place for growth.
05:37So, so yeah.
05:42Yeah, of course it means a lot to me.
05:45So hopefully as you say I will reach 100 games.
05:50So, but yeah, everyone has been welcoming me since I come to the club.
05:56And everything is good here.
05:59The stadium is good.
06:00The training facilities is good.
06:02So, and also my family is settled here.
06:06So for me it's good.
06:08And the people around the club is good.
06:10So I can't complain.
06:18Yeah, of course it will mean a lot to me personally also for the city.
06:23Because I know when I signed here they never had a trophy.
06:27So, so of course I will do everything I can to make that happen.
06:32But it's a lot of hard work and it's a long way forward to that.
06:37But hopefully, I hope we can do something special this year.
06:41So, but of course it's, it's, we had two hard defeats the last two years.
06:47But the only thing you can do is look forward.
06:51And now the next step is Jaglonia.
06:53So hopefully you can take three points there.
06:55Fingers crossed.
06:56Thank you very much.
06:57Cheers.
06:59Bye bye.
