Stefan Savic admits leaving Atletico Madrid this summer was a difficult decision but it was time for a change.
Stefan Savic chose to end his nine-year career at Atletico Madrid to join Trabzonspor last summer, and the 34-year-old defender admits the decision was not an easy one.
“It’s not an easy decision, it’s difficult for me. It’s difficult for me to make a decision after almost 10 years at the club. Also, I don’t make decisions alone, I have a family, a wife and a one-year-old daughter. It’s a difficult decision, emotional, for many reasons, but it’s right and good. Every player knows when it’s time to move and I see that I’ve come this far. The best สมัคร UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ thing for everyone is for me to move clubs. Even though I still have one year left on my contract,” Savic said.
The 34-year-old defender also revealed the reason why he and the club decided to end their relationship a year early, saying: ‘It wasn’t because of performances. In my last season I had a groin problem, which was really painful, although it’s not the first time it’s happened to me. I don’t know if it comes to you. There’s no reason for you to say, ‘Now I have to change.’
‘We have reached a point where I see a need for change as well. When I speak to the coach, I see that this might be the right time. When I speak to the club or the coach, I always say, ‘The time will come’ and when that time comes, I want us to talk and agree whether I want to stay or leave, and we have spoken about it, especially the coach and myself. ‘
‘Before the Championship ended and when I saw some people weren’t 100 per cent sure I had to stay and I wasn’t 100 per cent sure I should stay, that’s when you have to step up and make a decision.’
