Valdo Dambrauskas' coached Split team "Hajduk" has a very loyal supporter. Yesterday, the Lithuanian's trainees defeated the "Rijeka" team 3:1 in the country's cup final, and their triumph was witnessed live in the stadium by Japanese Akihisa Wada. The Buddhist monk who adores the "Hajduk" club did not hesitate to embark on a very long journey from his homeland and overcame 9500 kilometers. Five years ago, the Japanese had flown a total of 20,000 kilometers to watch his beloved team play against Liverpool's "Everton". "I fell in love with Croatia and the 'Hajduk' club in 2006, when I watched the national team's match against Japan in the World Cup," the fan explained. "I started researching Croatian football online and was impressed by 'Hajduk' and the dedicated fans of this team," A. Wada said.
