JAKARTA - Marko Simic has opened up about his fate at Persija Jakarta. He admitted that he had terminated the cooperation contract with the Kemayoran Tigers because the club was considered to have committed a violation.

In his open letter which was later uploaded to Instagram, Marko Simic admitted that his salary for one year was not paid by Persija Jakarta management. He even admitted that he was reserved because he was asking for a salary which was his right as a player.

"After months of promises not being kept, and being left on the bench just because I was demanding rights, I think now I need to step up. I need to do what's best for myself and what I deserve," wrote Marko Simic.

The 34-year-old's upload was certainly widely discussed. Not a few fellow football players commented on the outpouring of the player's heart, nicknamed Super Simic.

In fact, World Cup-class players such as Ivan Klasnic also commented.

"Brother, you are the strongest there, all the best," wrote the former Croatia international who appeared at the 2006 World Cup.

Persib Bandung player, David Da Silva, also gave his opinion regarding Simic's fate. "The bad side of football. It hurts so much. Keep going, brother! God bless you and your future wherever you are!" he wrote.

The netizens did not want to lose. They also commented on Marko Simic's upload. There are netizens who think this case is very embarrassing.

"Until it was commented on by @ivanklasnic17... the original case was very libelous to the name of Indonesian football," wrote the account @dund***.

"Anjirr really embarrassed Persija until Klasnic found out about this," said the account @deer_k***.

"We are ashamed that Jak has commented on the caliber of World Cup players," commented the @anoparian*** account while tagging the Instagram accounts of Ivan Klasnic, Persija Jakarta, and the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI).
