Dejan Lovren: "I feel great, I'm getting better and better every day"

Khimki v Zenit is this Friday. What are you expecting for the new season?

We expect to start well, like last year, when we also started against Khimki. That was a tough game and was really hot. We need to start well, that’s important for us. 

After such a big win last weekend, does that make it harder or easier to concentrate in training?

We have to learn from our mistakes, we always play really well against big teams and when it’s for a trophy. We have to understand that every game is important, and we should play like it’s a big game. 

Is the first game a special game?

It’s like a first date, you always have to start well and that’s important.

How do you feel?

I feel great, I'm getting better and better every day. I’m here and available for the coach and the boss will decide if he needs me.
