Mileta Rajovic and Mads Bech Sørensen have put their old cup clash behind them. Rajovic, now on loan at FC Midtjylland, said he spoke with his new teammate about the red card he received two years ago.
“I got to talk to Mads about the red card back then,” Rajovic told FC Midtjylland’s website. “Fortunately, we could laugh about it. There are no hard feelings. It is great to be here.”
I got to talk to Mads about the red card back then.
Rajovic was playing for Brøndby on loan from English club Watford when the incident occurred. He started the cup match against FC Midtjylland and scored to make it 1-0 before receiving a second-half red card for kicking Bech, who was on the ground.
Fortunately, we could laugh about it. There are no hard feelings. It is great to be here.
He later moved to Polish club Legia Warsaw, which loaned him to FC Midtjylland on the final day of the transfer window. The 27-year-old is expected to help fill the gap left by Franculino, who was sold to Trabzonspor in Turkey.
Rajovic said he is physically ready after training well and playing matches in Poland. He could feature on Monday evening against FC Nordsjælland. Wearing number nine, he described himself as a big striker who can hold up the ball, compete in the air and finish with both feet.
I am a big striker who takes up a lot of space. I can hold on to the ball, I am good in the air and I can finish with both feet.
