Serbian enjoying his time at Alvalade so far

Speaking exclusively with Sporting TV after Saturday's training session, the midfielder reflected on his time in Lisbon so far.

"It was my first training session, so I am a bit tired. It is normal. We are at the start of pre-season, but the two weeks we have done so far have been excellent. The most important thing is that we keep up the pace now and I feel great. The players have made me feel really welcome and I am really happy with everyone. We have great facilities here now and it is up to us to put the work in."

The Serbian international went on to reveal what Jorge Jesus had already shared with him: "I am still at the beginning. The coach showed me what he wants me to do in my position. I am trying to take on everything, so that I am ready for the start of the season. Today we trained with the B team and it was important for us to iron out any mistakes. I see a lot of quality in the squad, with four in the Portuguese national tam right now. There are a lot of really talented young players here and the atmosphere is great."

Petrovic on his four-year deal at Alvalade

Speaking after penning a deal that will see him play in Alvalade for the coming four seasons, Radosav Petrovic proved happy with the opportunity to represent a side that he alraedy knew well.

“I know that this club is at a really high level and is looking to win trophies and to play in the Champions League. I know some players from here, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Figo, Nani and Peter Schmeichel, as well as some of the lads from the squad, like Slimani, Aquilani, Bryan Ruiz, Rui Patrício and William Carvalho", said the 27-year old Serbian arriving from Dynamo Kiev, adding: "When I decided to come here I didn't even need to speak with Miguel Veloso or anyone from the Serbian team. When the president invited me I really didn't need to think much about it. Of course I had spoken to Miguel (Veloso) about a lot of things during the season, including Sporting, but it was an easy decision. This is a club where I think I can show my quality."

“I prefer to show my qualities on the pitch than to just talk about them", finished Patrovic.
