A year and a half after his high-profile move from Mura to Celje, Luka Bobičanec has decided to speak about the real reasons behind his departure from Murska Sobota. The fans of the Prekmurje giant did not receive his decision to move to the princely city well. Luka Bobičanec was publicly branded as a “traitor” and a “mercenary” who prioritized money over loyalty to the club where he had spent six years and won the national championship.
However, Luka Bobičanec now claims that he was wronged and that the leading figures at the Fazanerija club were actually the ones who pushed him out. “I feel dissatisfaction because I was labeled as the culprit. We had a cup match against Celje, and before it, news came out that I was negotiating with that very club. And that was not true. Someone probably leaked this story to cause unrest in our camp. We lost 1:2, but I was at the top of my game and recorded an assist,” Luka Bobičanec told Index.
Luka Bobičanec: “I didn’t understand anything”
The Croatian continued: “After the match, I had a meeting where they told me I would be in the stands for the last three rounds. I didn’t understand anything. They said I was negotiating with Celje, and I replied that after all these years, they could have asked me what was true and what was not. The coach didn’t want to get involved; that was the club’s decision. Two days later, before the match against Olimpija, they called me again and said they would reinstate me in the team. I didn’t want to break my word, so I decided to leave the club. It wasn’t my fault; it was theirs. I regret that the fans didn’t find out the real truth. After all these years, they branded me as guilty and slandered me.”
“Unfortunately, football is business. There is no love; everything has changed. The love between a player and a club can break in two hours. If they decide to remove you, they will pay you off and remove you,” Luka Bobičanec concluded, who has so far played 169 matches in the Prva Liga Telemach and scored 38 goals.
