America is crazy for a Hungarian football player

After winning against the Seattle Sounders, Nikolics Nemanja scored twice during the 3-0 match against the Colorado Rapids, informs nemzetisport.hu. The 29-year-old Hungarian striker is on top of the MLS shooter list with his ten scores, all the while breaking records as a Chicago Fire player.

Upon being asked if he was surprised about his strong opening in the MLS, he answered with a question, smiling: “No, I wasn’t. Why, were you?” Those who know him and what he is capable of are not surprised at all. He was goal king of Videoton three times and one time of Legia Warszawa, and if he keeps scoring at this pace, he might be the most productive football player of the United States at the end of the season. Playing in a team, which prefers entertainment to violence and attack tactics, is beneficial for Nemanja. Nemanja is the first one in the club’s history to score ten times in eleven rounds, already surpassing the previous goal king, David Accam, who scored nine during 24 matches. At the moment, Nemanja is the second best on the league’s rankings. If he keeps this up, he is likely to best surpass Ante Razov, who closed the season with 18 goals in 2000. No wonder, journalists were most interested in him after the last game.

“Those who know me are aware that I am at my best when my teammates are cooperative. I’m not the type of striker who, starting from half-court, dribbles eight players and scores the ball into the upper corner by himself” – told Nemzeti Sport the young footballer. “I have other strengths. If necessary, I will try everything I can to get into position in front of the net. My teammates needed a bit time to get used to this, but we’re getting more and more in sync, and with the arrival of Bastian Schweinsteiger, we are more collected and better at handling the ball. Also, the two home victories fell well on our confidence. We’d like to get into the playoff, and then, if things go well, we can shoot for the stars.
