Flourishing in a new league and a new culture: Alexander Popovic's rise to Asia and perfect start at a new Korean club
The former Adelaide United defender has made the perfect start at his new club in South Korea with Gwangju winning both their opening games in the K-League.
he’s hit the ground running and his performances in training have made him one of the first names on the team sheet – thats all you can ask for from any young player in a brand new country.
great start to life in gwanju and if he can keep that up (which he should because gwanju are a very good side, i’d expect them to mount a title challenge this season) then he’ll likely get that move to europe a player of his talent deserves next season
i know he’s not a lock for australia at international level either at this stage of his career, even though australian CB stocks arent great he’s keeping his options open because there is still serbia lurking in the background who arent exactly developing CB’s atm
potentially could be an interesting tug of war in 12-24 months
