Well..Aleks,first of all thank you so much for allowing me to do this interview.
Can you tell me about your football career so far, and did you always want to be a goalkeeper?
My football career so far has taken me to some wonderful places and I'm really enjoying Indonesia. As for being a goalkeeper it's always been a dream of mine so I'm very grateful
What is your career highlight so far?
My career highlight so far has to be playing in the under 17 world cup against players like nuri sahin, Carlos vela and Giovanni dos santos.
What are the differences between playing in the A-League and the Indonesian Premier League?
The most notable difference for me is the physical side of the game in Australia the players are much bigger and therefore more physical
How do you rate your team, Solo FC, performance so far?
I think we began the season very well and then in tapered off a little bit but we have to re group and improve
Which striker you have faced has the hardest shot?
De Porras and Barisic so far have had to wonder strikes against me and I'd have to say they've hit the hardest shot until now
Are there any jokers at the club?
I think I'm the main joker at the club hahaha.. But in also 'Moko (Bagus Tri Widyatmoko) is a bit a joker when I understand him
In your opinion, who is currently the best footballer in the world?
Best Footballer in the world hands down is Lionel Messi, he makes football look so easy.
Are you a football fan? Do you watch other matches?
Yeah I love football whenever there is a game on tv I will watch it regardless where in the world it is.
When you were younger who was your playing idol?
My playing idol when I was growing up was Oliver Kahn he is one of the best goalkeepers in the last 20 years and the way he played at the 2002 world cup was inspirational
If you weren't a footballer, what would you be doing now?
If I wasn't a Footballer i think I would go to university and get a degree.
Finally, is there any good advice that you could share with us?
Work hard and never give up! You don't know what tomorrow will bring..
thank you for the time Aleks, wish you all the best for your career and personal life
