This season, Tahilovic, who just turned 20 in March, has made seven appearances for Roma, two of which have been started. It was also because of the rise in the club that the Bosnian national team finally got ahead of Sweden and recruited the future star into the team. Tahilovic started for Bosnia and Herzegovina in the just-concluded UEFA 3-0 win over Iceland.
Speaking about his international debut, Tahilovic thanked Mourinho for giving him the opportunity to perform at the club. 'I'm grateful to Jose Mourinho because the players who play in my position are of a high level, so there's a lot of competition on the list.
"I'm young, but I keep studying and working every day, I'm young, but it doesn't have any impact on me competing to play. Mourinho is demanding and it's not for nothing that he has the nickname 'The Special One'. Yes, I've played less time than anyone else, but the important thing is that Roma have now reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League. Tahilovich said.
At the same time, Tahilovic also stressed that he has learned a lot from Matic. "Matic? He is definitely a top player, even higher than the top players. I try to learn as much as I can from him and observe what he's been doing on the pitch. We also had a good relationship off the pitch and Nemanja Matic is a very nice person. ”
Commenting on his debut for the Bosnian national team, Tahilovic excited: "Everything was great! From the moment I learned I was going to play, my emotions were excited. From warming up, to hearing the cheers, to walking into the stadium, and finally to playing the national anthem, everything is so wonderful. ”
