"I feel ready for the challenge," said J. Juranović upon his arrival at Union Berlin. The Croatian, who played in the Premier League last season, brings a wealth of experience and is expected to be a key player in defense. Union faced defensive problems last season, and the hope is that Juranović can address these weaknesses.

With his aggressive playing style and ability to build play from the back, he is already seen as a leader in defense. Many fans still recall his impressive performances for the national team during the World Cup. Whether he can replicate that form in the Bundesliga remains to be seen.

On his first training day, he received an enthusiastic welcome from fans. His professionalism and tireless effort in training have only heightened expectations. Coach Urs Fischer views Juranović as the ideal player to strengthen the defensive unit and enhance stability at the back.

The upcoming season will be crucial for Union's defense, and Juranović could be the key to it. He will face increased pressure, especially in the derbies against Hertha BSC, where every point counts.
