Football club BSK Borca made a major step in their promotion of the Asian market. Cooperation was agreed with one of the richest Chinese clubs Shanghai SIPG. Let us remind that in last transfer window FC Shanghai has hired Brazilian Hulk, and only for his transfer it’s been paid 58 million euros.
As the first part of the cooperation with the Chinese, it’s arrival of a talented Zhu Zhengyu (21), young National team player of China, who will be on loan until the end of the season.
- We are satisfied with the cooperation with club like is Shanghai SIPG, and we hope that our cooperation in near future will be bigger and bigger. Zhu has arrived earlier and he had a minor injury, but what is important he fits perfectly in our club, and we expect a lot from him in the future. I also would like to thank the manager Darko Maric with whose contacts we started a new rapid development of our club - satisfied is head mean for transfers in BSK Jovan Vasic.
We asked Mr.Darko Maric, a former football player who spent part of his football career in China, and now director of the agency D.M.management how it came to cooperate with Shanghai SIPG, and why is chosen BSK club?
- We see that in recent years is more and more investment in Chinese football. Sport cooperation in this days with China has the greatest potential because it can involve many areas, and also to follow already excellent political relations between Serbia and China. Since I live in Belgrade on the left bank of the Danube, it was logical that the first steps are directed toward BSK - explains Maric.
China is a proven friend of Serbia because they don’t recognized Kosovo's independence, and also Serbia supported the sovereignty and integrity of China. On the left bank of the Danube next to Pupin's bridge, which was built by Chinese company CRBC, there is plans for new Chinese port, and a large industrial park. Serbia is the first country in Europe with which China established visa-free regime. Now we have the Chinese player in Belgrade, the first after 28 years when Jia Xiuquan and Liu Haiguang played for Partizan Belgrade. Do you think that this will be an important signal for investors from China to come and invest in projects in our municipality in Belgrade?
- I am convinced that through sport, especially football, we may more intensify the cooperation between the two countries. I believe that the arrival of Chinese players contribute to the new agreements and the opening of many other options. I think that advantage that we have Chinese player from one from their biggest clubs, opens a great opportunity for leadership of the Belgrade municipality of Palilula, and to impose themselves to Chinese investors and companies. I am convinced that it will now be even easier for Chinese investors to decide to invest in projects on Palilula - sure is in the future good relations Darko Maric.
