New Persib Bandung player Dion Markx revealed the reason for choosing the number 44 jersey he wears with Bojan Hodak's team.
The number 44 is the sum of 25, which was his jersey number during his time at TOP Oss, and 19, which was his jersey number with the Indonesian national age group team.
"When I debuted at my previous club, I wore 25, and when I debuted for the Indonesian national team, I wore 19. Combined, I get 44," Dion explained on Persib's website on Wednesday.
He believes that number 44 still represents him as a defender.
He admitted that he liked number 4, but this number had already been worn by Julio Cesar.
