In an exclusive interview with Flashscore, experienced goalscorer Aleksandar Mitrovic explains what it’s like playing football in Qatar during times of military conflict. He’s now at four goals scored in seven league games, and has recorded either a goal or an assist in each of his last seven games across all competitions. “Obviously nobody wants to see any wars and we all hope that the situation will return to normal very soon,” he adds. Those decisions include potentially leaving Qatar altogether, though Mitrovic mentions that was not on his mind for long. “We didn’t think too much about the situation,” Mitrovic claims when asked if the conflict was on his mind during the match.
