In the “Dribler” podcast, he told some interesting details about the play-off matches against Wales and Italy.
Let us remind you that the Dragons first defeated Wales in Cardiff in the play-off, and then Italy in Zenica and qualified for the World Championship.
Čelik was also in the playing squad for both matches, who revealed when he realized that the Dragons were going to beat Italy as well.
“After Keri’s penalty when we ran to the fans, that’s when I think we all knew we were going to get past Italy. We all had a 100 percent feeling. After the first game, that’s when we got confidence. You saw our reactions after the first game.” Steel began.
He referred to the opponents themselves as well as some details of both matches.
“The first time we saw the draw, I think every player believed in it, I was the first to believe that we could. And when we got together, we saw that really everyone, everyone, everyone thinks that we can, and we will. How did we survive the game? We don’t even know.” Čelik said jokingly.
He also admitted when he was most scared in the play-off matches.
“In the first game in Cardiff, it was the first half, when I saw how they started, in addition to their atmosphere, I was a little scared to be honest. And in the second game, I think it was the second extra time, and I thought to myself ‘well, we won’t do it again’. You know how lucky we are Maki in terms of playoffs, but everything ended for the best.” Celik pointed out.
He also commented on the feeling he had when he played with Edin Dzeko for the first time.
“I still can’t believe it. Especially after the first meeting, that I was there, that I was with him at the table, that I was with him at training, in the locker room. It still seems unreal to me, I was 18 years old at the time.” Çelik recalled.
He also said what he expects from the group stage at the World Cup.
“The group is tailored. But we won’t look too far ahead either. We just focus from game to game. Of course we believe in passing as much as anyone in the group and we believe in our quality.” said the young BH. defender.
