Kovacevic surprised by physical Championship

Norwich City goalkeeper Vladan Kovacevic admits he has been surprised by the physical aspect of Championship football in his first two games for the club.

The 27-year-old came to Carrow Road from Portuguese club Sporting, having also played in Poland and his native Bosnia-Herzegovina.

"I didn't expect it. I can show you my arms and my back, scars and everything," he told BBC Radio Norfolk.

"Now I know (what it's like), I will be more aggressive. In Poland, it's a similar league, but not like this. In Portugal, they play football or you have the coach screaming.
