Jović opens up about the difficulties of playing with a mask
Serbian striker speaks out about the challenges he has faced
Luka Jović has spoken out about the difficulties he has faced playing with a mask, saying that it has been a "challenge" to adapt to. The Serbian striker has been wearing a mask since suffering a facial injury in training in September, and he has admitted that it has taken some time to get used to playing with it on.
"It's been a challenge, but I'm getting used to it," Jović said. "It's not easy to play with a mask, but I'm doing my best and I'm confident that I can overcome this challenge."
Jović has scored two goals in three games since returning from injury, and he will be hoping to continue his good form when Real Madrid face Barcelona in the El Clásico on Sunday. The match will be a big test for Jović, and it will be interesting to see how he copes with the pressure of playing in such a high-profile match.
Jović is not the only player to have to play with a mask in recent years. Former Liverpool striker Fernando Torres also wore a mask for a period of time, and he has spoken about the difficulties of playing with it on.
"It's like playing with a blindfold on," Torres said. "You can't see the ball properly, and it's difficult to breathe. But you have to get used to it, and you have to find a way to play with it on."
Jović will be hoping to follow in Torres' footsteps and overcome the challenge of playing with a mask. The Serbian striker is a talented player, and he has the potential to be a success at Real Madrid. If he can adapt to playing with a mask, then he could be a key player for Los Blancos in the years to come.
