While disappointed to learn of S Subramani retirement, National coach Avramovic had spoken of the respect he had for Subramani

He felt the decision by Subramani to give up his place to aid the development of the younger players when he could still have gone on show what kind of a generous person he was.

To Avramovic, Subramani put the team before his own & this time it was no different & that is why the Serb-Montenegrin respect the player decision

That is why Avramovic hopes the younger generation looked upon Subramani as the best example of the type of player any coach would want.

Beside the generous qualities of Subramani, the player was also disciplined & gives his best whenever he plays.
