During the transfer market, welcoming and saying goodbye to players is the order of the day. In the case of goodbyes, not everything is the same. There are some who simply sympathize with the fans. This is the case of Uros Djurdjevic, ‘Djuka’. The forward left Sporting de Gijón after defending the jacket for 6 years, scoring up to 66 goals.
In his best campaign, 20-21, scored 22 goals in 39 games. At worst, 23-24, 4 of 38 games. But sometimes you don’t need to look at numbers to appreciate a player. Just look at the love the fans have for him and vice versa. A striker doesn’t leave, a sporting player does. And that is the great magic of football, that a Serbian guy who does not know the greatness of a club like Sporting, is now one of them. As the club itself said in one of its farewell tweets: ”You were there when we needed it. You are a leader in moments that require character, passion and faith. 𝗡𝗮𝗮𝗮𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗹𝗻𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗻𝗻𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗻𝗻𝗻𝗻𝗻𝗻𝗻𝗻𝗻𝗻𝗻𝗻𝗻”
Djuka’s message to fans
‘‘I spent six incredible years there. This is my second home. I have many friends and I feel like many people are part of the family. For this season I have a message that they are with the team. Last year we were very close, I hope we can achieve it next season”, start. As for his best goals, he kept the ones he scored against Oviedo, his eternal rival. He is also proud to play for Sporting, which “just needs to be in first place, which it really deserves.” Finally, he thanked the fans, ”who always support me when I score goals and when I don’t. They know that I always gave 100%, that’s why they supported me. I hope they find another idol because they are very good players. “I am very grateful to everyone.”
