Persib Bandung squad reveals how they reacted when Michael Essien joined the club

Former Real Madrid Michael Essien played in the Indonesian League 1 and defended Persib Bandung in 2017.

The arrival of the former Real Madrid, Chelsea and AC Milan to Persib Bandung caused an uproar in Indonesian football.

How not, a European mega star with a big name wants to graze in Indonesia.

Even though Essien could have contacted his former club to sign him, this was not done.

Gian Zola also expressed his humble nature.

The man who was born in Bandung said that Essien is a star player who is easy to get along with, even he likes to be funny.

Gian was surprised when he found out that Essien’s true nature was like that.

“Actually, I was surprised, he’s a star, he’s a super star, but when he came here, he turned out to be humble and likes to make jokes,” said Gian Zola, on Monday as reported by Republik Bobotoh.

Gian recounted that when Essien was still in Persib Bandung jersey, local players were reluctant to meet him.
