Quite a pretty entrance from the age of 16 Otto from Tiitinen.
No more needed Ilves’ star player For Anton Popovitch say. The smile was already in the ears.
– Unfasic debut. I don’t know if you can do it better. The opening of the season, and there is little to him hype Been here, so it went great, Popovitch glowed.
It was only 16-year-old Tiitinen in practice in practice. However, the 2-2 handicap was marked as HJK’s own goal. 77 In a minute, Tiitinen seals a 3-2 victory over Ilves with a handsome cannon.
Popovitch mentioned the word hype. It has undoubtedly been after the training season. Midfielder Tiitinen appeared in the limelight in the League Cup in a way that many could not expect.
– I didn’t even know who was Otto Tiitinen last year, Popovitch admitted directly.
In the winter, a light -haired Kikarapää appeared in Ilves’ workouts.
– It was December when he arrived. I noticed that he was a good boy and wondered who he was.
– He has earned appreciation in the booth. He has seemed to be one of this group in games and practice.
“Must understand”
Tiitinen collects praise as a person and as a football player.
However, he has emphasized that it does not allow the external hustle to influence himself. A young man can take things cool, right?
– Well … Yes, we have already laughed a little when he has been annoyed in different magazines and raised, Popovitch grinned.
– Well, the boy has accepted all the outside pressures. It must be understood that he is only 16 years old. Game performance will certainly vary from that age. Now he showed his skills.
Tiitinen’s agent Sami Salonen Before the opening round of the Veikkausliiga, Tiitinen had the opportunity to go abroad for this season. However, the Ilves breeder decided to seek a breakthrough in the home main series.
