Stefanovic, two metres of humanity for Alser

Alser BM Puerto Sagunto have presented left-back Bojan Stefanovic as the new player in their 2011–2012 project

Bojan Stefanovic has arrived in Puerto de Sagunto, standing 201 cm tall and weighing 100 kg, on his way to his homeland to recover from an extremely demanding season both professionally and emotionally.

Following the presentation by president Juanjo Bataller, Goran Dzockic said of his fellow Serbian that he is a player “who always adds value, attacks and defends, and you always know that he will contribute his goals and his combinations with the pivot”

During the player's presentation, he made it clear how difficult his journey has been in Spanish handball, with its fragile structures, stating that “at every Asobal club I have been at, there have always been enormous financial problems. I hope there will be none in Puerto de Sagunto and that I will only have to worry about playing”.

Bojan Stefanovic made his Asobal debut with BM Cantabria, having arrived from Partizan Belgrade; the club later disappeared, after which he played for Arrate and Pilotes Posada, where he also experienced delays and unpaid wages. After a brief spell with the Asian champions in Iran, he joined BM Antequera in October last year, with the problems that are well known to everyone.

Given these previous experiences, it is hardly surprising that the Serbian wants peace of mind off the court and the chance to prove that his Yugoslav Cup and League titles, as well as his German runners-up finish in the 2000–2001 season, are not enough credentials to achieve complete success in Spanish handball.

At Alser BM Puerto Sagunto, we wish him the very best of luck and hope to provide him with the environment and peace of mind he needs to do his job, which is to play and score goals for Alser BM Puerto Sagunto.
