Martin Baturina arrived in great shape at the Vatreni gathering before the UEFA Nations League matches against Scotland and Poland. Dinamo‘s midfielder played a masterful game against Monaco and then was one of the protagonists of the minimal championship victory over Varaždin.
Before that, the week was really bad, I’m glad that this good week has come, we just need to continue like this
About playing time in the national team
It was a very good experience for me, I haven’t played many games like that. There are really great players there, great competition, you prove yourself in every training session and hope to be in there
Many consider Baturina as Luka Modrić’s successor in the national line
I really don’t want to put any pressure on myself. To take a number 10 from Luka… Every child dreams of that, but I’m not in a hurry, we’re going step by step
About playing with Luka and his tips
There is no need to say much, we all know what kind of master he is, not only him but all these players. You just watch and learn. The first time I came, I just observed who was doing what, you just watch and learn. You can always progress in the national team
About the possibility that Modrić will play for Vatrene in the next World Cup
It would certainly mean a lot to us, he’s the captain and all the credit to him. I hope he extends that contract with Real because it means a lot to Real madrid CF, just like to us
How Baturina would like to be like Luka when he sees his longevity
About that later, those are the big years, we’ll see when I get to them, I can’t think about that now
