JAKARTA - Persija Jakarta midfielder Riko Simanjuntak responded to Marko Simic's farewell message. Intense closeness, both on and off the field, often makes the two called true bromance.

It is natural that Simic's farewell moment from Persija is shocking news for Riko. The player with the nickname Si Kancil admitted that it was hard to lose Simic, who had been a tandem on the field.

However, Riko Simanjuntak tries to understand the difficult situation of his best friend in the team. Although emotional, Riko promised to release Simic gracefully.

This is as stated by Riko Simanjuntak in the latest upload on his Instagram. This 30-year-old footballer shows a short video of togetherness with Simic accompanied by the song Intimacy from Iwan Fals.

In the statement made, Riko promised not to cry when Simic left the team.

"Promise not to cry. My brother @markosimic_77," said Riko in the caption that accompanied the video.

The post was immediately commented on by Marko Simic. The bromance did not hesitate to reply with an expression of affection. However, Simic also couldn't deny that they had to separate.

"I love you forever my brother. I will miss you, can't believe this is all over," commented Simic.

"The only thing, it will be difficult if you have to score goals without you. Forever we are brothers," wrote Simic.

The duet of Riko and Simic is often the key on the front lines of the Kemayoran Tigers. These two players became the foundation to break into the opponent's goal when Persija Jakarta appeared.

However, the collaboration between the two was forced to end along with the facts revealed by Simic. He decided to leave Persija after revealing his condition in the team, where his rights have not been fulfilled recently.
