The Serbian coach also responded to the horrible incident who caused the death of one supporter. He thinks the supporter’s fanatism in Indonesia is too much and out of logic.

“Rivalry is a common thing, even in Europe football. But I’m sorry for this incident,” Milan revealed.

“In fact, everyone can unite when supporting the national team in the international competition. They come from Arema, Persebaya, Persib, Persija, and many more,” he added.

Hence, Milan supports PSSI’s decision to terminate the competition. On the other hand, the team’s training program was bothered due to the match termination that has been prepared for a long time ago.

“We accept the decision from the federation. Whatever it is, hopefully, will result in the best solution to prevent the further incident in the future,” he concluded.
