Dušan Vasić is Radnicki sixth reinforcement
Former Serbian national team member and current member of the Georgian national team, Dušan Vasić (31), is the new big reinforcement of Kragujevac Radnicki.
Vasić was part of the generation of Serbia that won the World Cup in 2014, but then as a young player he did not manage to fight for a place in the too strong competition of the golden "dolphins" at major competitions, although he was often invited to preparations. When transferring to Dinamo from Tbilisi in 2020, Vasić agreed to play for the Georgian national team, for which Zimus also played, at the European Championship in Croatia.
This native of Novi Sad grew up in Vojvodina, and then defended the colors of Italian Florence, Greek Panathinaikos, Split Jadran, Athenian Vuliagmeni, Crvena Zvezda, Šabac, and Georgian Dinamo. He arrives in Kragujevac after two seasons in his second term at Zvezda.
- It was not difficult to decide on Radnički. Already in the first conversation with the director and the coach, I saw that something big and beautiful is being prepared, which Radnički as a club deserves. A huge desire for progress prevailed, which certainly matches us. The decision was largely inspired by the fact that I will be working with Uroš Stevanović, whom I greatly appreciate as a person and coach. A club like Radnički deserves to be in the highest possible place, both in Serbian and European water polo, and that is what I personally strive for. In addition to these ambitions, there is also the desire to play in my country and help the Serbian club and our players in their development and results. At home is the most beautiful – pointed out Vasić.
Vasić knows the opportunities in the Kragujevac club very well, through the Super League duels, but also those in the Champions League where he played with Dinamo against Radničko.
- I know my new teammates quite well, I have already worked with some of them, some in the club, some in the national team. After all, there is also my teammate from Georgia, Vato Dadvani, and I am extremely glad that he is staying. I am quite familiar with the Radnicki system, especially through conversations with the players. Everything is positive in all areas of the club, from work with the younger categories, the first team system, to the marketing part at the end of the day, which also makes me extremely happy - Vasić added.
During his guest appearances in Kragujevac, he also saw how much energy Radnički gets from the home crowd.
- I think that Radnički can do a lot in the next season. I want the famous Kragujevac audience to fill the pool to the last seat again, because this club and the people in Kragujevac deserve it. I myself remember how much people in Šumadija love water polo and sports in general and how many fans came to the matches. I'm sure that we will deserve the results through hard work and hard work, and I'm sure that the audience will recognize that - Vasić concluded.
So far, Serbian national team members Strahinja Rašović, Radoslav Filipović, Radomir Drašović and Petar Jakšić, as well as the Montenegrin international Nikola Murišić, have stepped up their work.
