Now TOMS league started and the problem is that we did not have the opportunity to train much with full squad. But we will work hard to make up for this. In general, preparing in a new team was interesting. We all have to get used to a new system playing system and we are all hungry for matches.

Eurohandball.com: For the first time you will have the opportunity to work with Anja Andersen. What do you think about her? Is she different from your former coaches?

Eurohandball.com: You started your carrier in Napredak Krusevac. Then you moved to Madeira, Randers and Ikast. Besides handball, what is attractive in Denmark?

Tanja Milanovic: Great conditions and the best handball league in the world. Apart from this, Denmark also offers a nice life quality. I only miss my family and more sunny days.

Eurohandball.com: You are one of the best scorers of TOMS league. After four years you will once again compete in the Champions League. FCK will soon play QT 2 against Dunaferr, Zaporozhye and Naisa. What do you expect? 

Tanja Milanovic: The overall favourite is Zvezda Zvenigorod, but every year brings surprises. I’m really looking forward to the CL season and I think FCK has a place in the CL.
