BANDUNG - After return to Serbia, Vladimir Vujovic chose back to Indonesia to strengthen Persib Bandung. What is the reason man familiarly called Vlado returned to Persib?
For Vlado, Persib and Bandung has been like a second home. Moreover, together with Persib, Vlado has offered a sweet feat, one title Indonesia Super League (ISL). It was not a tough defender bids deserted. He had offers from several Malaysia clubs before deciding again to Persib. But no bids from Jiran country were attracted him.
Some tempting offer does not correspond to the initial conversation. He even had to undergo trial in an interested Malaysia club. It was not in line with his wishes. Moreover, an interested club was the second caste clubs in Malaysia.
"After the President Cup champion, went to Malaysia to perform in the second division, I think is unnecessary. In my opinion, the players who had played in Persib, Arema, or Persipura do not need first trial in Malaysia," said Vlado.
He also chose to return to defend the Bobotoh team pride. The presence of coach Dejan Antonic became an additional magnet to him.
Talk about many number of star players who leave, Vlado still have optimism. He is convinced the players of existing and new players will be determined to bring Persib achievement.
"The situation is now different. But Dejan coming and he knew exactly what he was doing, including with all the players that he was carrying," he said.
"We had to start again step by step, game by game. I think we can go much further because of the players that survive here can replace players who go," said Vlado.
He even mentions the departure of players such as Firman Utina and Supardi be a big challenge for players new and old.
Meanwhile, Vlado itself is expected to return a duet with Ahmad Jufriyanto in defense 'Maung Bandung'. But until now no bright spot if he would actually join or not for a contract with Sriwijaya FC.
"I remain hopeful Jupe came. Every day we contact each other and expect him to come here," he said.
