Tottenham defender Maksim Paskotsi proud of Estonia debut

Tottenham defender Maksim Paskotsi is full of pride to have made his Estonia debut.

The 18 yer-old found himself thrust straight in at the heart of his country's defence as they took on Czech Republic in Poland on Wednesday night.

It was, as expected, a huge challenge for the depleted Estonian side and they ended up going down 6-2.

“It's the best feeling and a huge honour for me as a player and a person to represent my country at such a young age," he told the club's website.

“I've always dreamed of playing for the national team, but I didn't expect that this would happen so quickly and unexpectedly. Nowadays, with the situation in football and around the world, you have to always be ready and I'm lucky that I've got an opportunity like this."
