Filip Stankovic retraces his growth journey at Venezia in an interview given to Sky Sport. The young goalkeeper expresses gratitude towards Stroppa and his technical staff for the progress made over these years at the lagoon club.
The coach has broadened his vision of the game by introducing him to solutions he hadn’t considered before. The coach has opened up different perspectives for him, and the goalkeeper declares himself satisfied with the collaboration with him and the entire staff, who support him in his development both in playing with his feet and in building from the back.
On the topic of role models, Stankovic reveals: “For me, my idol has always been Julio Cesar, but then I always looked up to Samir Handanovic. I trained with him for 2-3 years and training with him every day was a lesson. I tried to learn as much as possible, both in goal and with my feet, but also off the pitch because he is a professional.”
The goalkeeper particularly appreciates those who arrive first at the field and leave last. That attention to detail characteristic of Handanovic represents for him an example to follow in his professional career.
