Interview with Filip Ivanovski

What’s the reason of your low efficiency in Groclin? When can we expect goals from you in Poland, like in Macedonia?
– I hope soon. There’s big difference between the style of playing in Groclin and Makedonija where I had bigger freedom and different tactical tasks. I had an injury when I arrived in Groclin and I was under big pressure since my arrival. This season although I’m not satisfied with my efficiency of only 4 scored goals, I’m satisfied with my performances which are better and better. 

Can you make a comparison between the Macedonian and the Polish League? Can the clubs from the Macedonian First League compete in Polish Ekstraklasa and which clubs could compete for a European spots and which Macedonian clubs would fight against relegation in the Polish league?
– The quality of the polish league is on higher level and one of
the main reasons is the financial investment. A lot is invested in the Polish national team which is competing in the big competitions and also a lot has been invested in the clubs. The conditions for working here are on higher level and the professionalism is present in every segment. From the Macedonian First League, the first 2-3 clubs could compete in the Polish league but I wouldn’t like to predict about the placement which depends on many factors. “The ball is round” and in the sports it happens often that some of the bigger clubs underachieve and some “underdog” to get high placement. 

In what time Macedonia will have better league, at least like the Polish league? What has to be done so the Macedonian football gets improved?
– A big attention has to be given to the younger players and they should be given good conditions so they can deploy their talents and potential. The current conditions, especially the ones under which the young players work, are catastrophic. There must be better investments and consistent clubs. That will generate quality who would have influence on the improvement of the Macedonian national team and by that the attendance will be brought back on the Macedonian stadiums.

Who are the best players in the Polish league and who were the best defenders you ever played against?
– I am impressed by Marek Zienczuk, Roger and our captain Radek Mynar. Zlatko Tanevski of course and also Cleber and Tomasz Hajto are one of the best defenders. 

Who do you think is the best Macedonian football player?
– I share the opinion with most of the football fans and I also think that Goran Pandev (Lazio) is the best Macedonian player. He has great successes in big club, he is constantly in good form and scores goals.
 
What does the Macedonian national team jersey means for you?
– Like every player, it will be great honor for me to wear the colors of my national team. The national shirt is big motivation for me who forces me to work harder and wait for my chance.
