Bosančič loves his home and fights for Liberec

Www.efotbal.cz, a website devoted to football, published a short article about Miloš Bosančič. The text of the article is shown below.

Slavia were playing Liberec when, all of a sudden, the whole stadium cried: “Offside!” But it wasn’t, Štajner taught Vaniak a lesson and netted. But who was behind this goal? Miloš Bosančič, an inconspicuous Serbian footballer. Despite not being well-known in this country and being overlooked by journalists, he is one of the greatest talents of Serbian football. He is a member of his country’s Under-21 national team.

He was introduced to the world of big football in Partisan Beograd. He spent some time in Boavista Porto and played for OFK Beograd, too. He came to Slovan Liberec a year ago. Since then he has become one of the team’s key players.

Although it took him some time to get accustomed to the club, he feels at home in Liberec now. “I just understood I’d have to adapt, which I can manage. I’ve found both Czech friends here and a few acquaintances from my country,” said the native from Ruma, Serbia. He believes that this stage at Slovan Liberec might carry him to a really large club. “But it’s clear to me that this will only be possible if I perform well,” said the pleasant young man, who is an engineering technician originally, but a creative midfielder in football.

If you talk to him about his homeland, his eyes glow. It is evident that he is a patriot, which is not very common in this country. “I like Serbian music and films, and I support the Serbian football team,” he admits. Only traditional Serbian food is not something he is missing. “I’ve got used to chicken and pasta. It’s good for football and, what’s more, I really like it,” he said. He only has Serbian meat delicacies when he is back at home with his family.

And it is his family that he misses most in the Czech Republic. “Yes, I miss them, that’s true, but I’ve put up with the fact that I'm here without them. That’s simply the football life. And football is my job and I want to do it the best way possible,” he adds.

He has gradually won a position in Slovan Liberec. Ladislav Škorpil, a former manager of Liberec, nicknamed the team “Yugoslavia” jokingly. “It’s because the team consists of Slavs. Some of them received football basics in the south, in the former Yugoslavia, and a vast majority in Prague’s Slavia,” joked Škorpil at that time. And he was right, in fact. Besides players who grew up in Liberec, the team has former Slavia players, a Serb and Croats. “There’s a great atmosphere in the team, we all talk together. I’m open to all and talk to everyone. There are no animosities among us,” he said with a smile.

Regarding football, he has found the biggest understanding with Jiří Štajner. “I feel that we think in much the same way, look for each other on the pitch and oblige each other. It feels great to play with him,” he praised his new teammate who has gained plenty of experience in the German Bundesliga. “Štajny” returns Bosančič’s praise. “He has a great feeling for a pass. The one he sent me at Slavia truly showed what is in him. There is certainly a great future ahead of him,” believes Štajner.

Bosančič's current goal is to flash his qualities in the Czech league. And he seems to be on his way.
