Bad boy Aleksandar Mitrovic has vowed to be on his best
behaviour when Newcastle United
travel to Sunderland on Sunday.
The 21-year-old Serbia international has already picked up
five yellow cards and one red in just 11 games for club and country so far this
season.
But Mitrovic, who was also sent off for former club
Anderlecht against Bruges - the biggest clash in Belgian club football - earlier in his career, insists he has learnt his lesson after receiving his
marching orders against Arsenal in August and serving a three-game ban.
He told Newcastle’s official website: "There will be a
lot of passion at the next game, but I do not want to make the same mistake
that I did against Arsenal and do something
stupid.
"I want to stay on the level. I know they will try to
provoke me, but I will keep my head strong and try to score goals and help my
team-mates.
"It's a derby. I am only 21 but I have played in a lot
of big derbies, big games, and I can say I know how to play these games and
score goals in them.
"I hope I will continue with my goals and score in my
first game against Sunderland."
