Top role model

Aleksandar Duric with the PPCFC Academy

Aleksandar Đurić, probably the best role model any young footballer could wish to emulate, spent time talking to the Phnom Penh Crown Academy youngsters on Friday morning, as well as taking a coaching stint with the attacking players and giving the boys tips on improving their core body strength. He also dispensed lots of advice on why he is still at the top of his game - over 50 caps for Singapore and still playing in the S-League at the age of 43 years old. His is a remarkable story - he even rowed for Bosnia in the 1992 Olympics - and the Academy boys will benefit from his visit. Đurić was in town at the invitation of NagaWorld and spent time with the Cambodia U-19 squad and Naga Corp.
