Aleksandar Mitrovic

Away from football, it is just family. I try to spend time with my kids - I have to spend a lot of time away, so every time I am at home, I like to spend time with them.

I could have gone down a very different path, but my parents would not let me give up football.

I am not bothered what people say. You have always different opinions.

I am always in the box, strong, good in the air, and, of course, I like getting stuck in. I play a physical game.

This is a club with a very big history, and the fans are a big part of that. There will be pressure here, for sure, but I like pressure. I also know about the famous players who have played for Newcastle United, like Alan Shearer, who is a hero of mine.

I've always loved Newcastle. Even when you're watching their games on television, you can feel the passion of the crowd.

Sometimes I score, sometimes I don't, so people are here to judge, but I know my qualities, and I try to give everything to win and help my team-mates.

Life's boring enough without always having the same hair.

I have followed Newcastle my whole life. I had two Newcastle shirts when I was little. It was unusual; most people choose a team like Manchester United or Barcelona, but for me, it has always been Newcastle.

I will always be a Newcastle United fan all my life.

The Serbian people are very kind. Sometimes life is ruthless, and you have to show character. But come to Serbia and see how friendly everyone is; then you'll change your mind.

I say that if the team play well and use me in the right way... the goals will come.
