Subotic Revels In Dortmund Dream
Borussia Dortmund shooting star Neven Subotic has admitted that he sometimes feels like he's living a dream, things are going so well for him.
Nov 20, 2008 5:51:37 PM
The 19-year-old has been one of the revelations of the season, and not just because he has quite staggeringly managed to score five goals already this season despite being a defender.
"I try not to think about it, otherwise I might think that I'd rather take it easy. But I don't. Even if it's like a dream, I don't want to be woken up," he told the Bundesliga's official website.
Having made the transition from the second division with Mainz to the starting lineup in Dortmund without so much as the smallest hiccup, Subotic was asked what the reason for his success has been.
"That's hard to say," he answered. "I always gave my best and never took things easy. Maybe it's down to my position, too. As a young attacker is easy to come into the limelight, but it's equally easy to disappear. As a defender you always have to take responsibility, and that helps you to mature faster."
Banja Luka-born center-back Neven Subotic is involved in an international tug-of-war between Serbia, Bosnia, and the United States. Reports that the Serbs have won the heart of the Borussia Dortmund defender have recently been recinded, and Subotic has said he will make up his mind at the end of the season.
