Safee Escapes Indonesian Meltdown
Malaysian international striker Safee Sali is returning home; at least for next season.
Sali moved to Indonesia after a successfull ASEAN Cup in 2010 when he top scored and helped Malaysia to win the title for the first time.
He spent last season with Pelita Jaya but after they were merged/bought out by Bandung Raya he followed the club owners and coach to Arema.
The problem is both clubs are under the umbrella of the Indonesia Super League which is not fully recognised by the world governing bodies despite some MoU in place.
Sali will join Johor and link up with national team strike partner Norshahrul and coach Fandi Ahmad; a move that is likely to see Larkin Stadium attracting bigger crowds than recent years.
