“I am not alone, of course accompanied by a reliable football observer, Bung Kus! How are you, Bung Kus?”
“I'm good, and I'm pounding this, waiting for our pride team to compete in the highest tournament in Asia! Indonesia will face South Korea in the final round of this tournament!”
Conversations between commentators who are so lively add an atmosphere that obviously cannot be missed.
This is the most historic day in the world of Indonesian football, where the turning point of Indonesia to be known by the whole world began from being the Asian Cup champion for the first time.
The thing that many people think about is that the biggest contribution can only be included in the name of Reza Kusuma, he totaled nine goals throughout the tournament and became the rarest topscorer.
Which topscorer is the goalkeeper? It was Reza, the score was 3 goals adrift of South Korean forward Heung-min who scored 6 goals throughout the tournament.
The situation at Lusail stadium, an enthusiastic explosion occurred, in an instant all the seats in the stadium had been filled by fans both from Indonesia and from South Korea.
More than that, the country that has a population of 280 million, as if to be one of the few countries that immediately watch together massively throughout Indonesia.
Starting from the state palace, then to the houses of the officials to the Gelora Bung Karno stadium which was installed with a magnificent big screen to watch this rare event.
Sangking enthusiastic, Gelora Bung Karno filled in half for the sake of watching only from the big screen.
While in Palu, Citra's house is heavily guarded by the police at Reza's request to his loyal agent –Bryan Adams– to immediately request a guard from the police.
Reza is afraid of a destroyer that puts his mother in danger, a child's instinct is clearly at stake here.
Then, at Harapan High School, the football field was given a big screen as well which was watched by almost all school students.
It is late afternoon, so a great time to watch from all ages without thinking about it.
In the Indonesian dressing room, Reza is currently staring at the screen of his smartphone, he saw how enthusiastic the people of Indonesia are to see the pride team competing at the top of the most grand tournament in Asia.
“Wah ... Absolutely rare occurrence anyway,” chirped Reza.
His colleagues also nodded their heads, they watched, this was directed by Coach Tae-yong with a disguised purpose.
‘I hope you guys get excited and show your greatest strength,’ Inner Coach Tae-yong.
“Ayo, come! We show the world, especially Indonesia, that this national team has been different from five years ago!” exclaim assistant coach, Arianto.
They gathered and cheered, then got ready.
Pride uniform, tops with lighted colors that are so gallant and bold –Red– then a holy color –Putih– that so looks beautiful in the middle of hundreds to millions of pairs of eyes of the world.
While South Korea itself wears a remake jersey from the era of 2002 which South Korea had shocked the world after becoming a World Cup semi-finalist.
Jersey with white top and red pattern on the right-left side, then red pants.
These are two teams that are considered to compete with each other to win the most prestigious trophy in Asia.
“This is too thrilling. I have played a lot of games, but this is the most thrilling and certainly somewhat moved,” said Reza while staring at the gloves that have been used.
A separate story from the black gloves, this is a legendary glove from Hope High School which was directly awarded by the school to Reza for making a good impact on the school.
“Haa .. So nostalgia deh.” Reza fixed her gloves, her face staring firmly at the camera that was highlighting her.
The whole world knows, Reza is really going to be very serious this time, there's no reason to keep her powers.
“Let's compete with the supportive!”
The national anthem was sung, so majestically in the Lusail stadium, thousands of Indonesians were moved and wept with joy. They had seen this historic event to be told to the grandchildren later.
After that, Reza faced off with Heung-min who was not young anymore about 33 years, but still so energized and of course still in top shape.
“Play sportive, sportive and sportive. Without any resentment between you,” said the referee who led the game, named Takumi.
Both players understood. Coins tos are done, then captured by referee Takumi.
The black side is on top and it belongs to Reza.
“Bola.”
The most historic match will be made, starting with a loud whistle from one of the best referees in the world.
Prits!
Sananta kicked the first ball and gave it to Febri on the right.
The Indonesian players immediately went forward to form an attacking formation that was truly like a guerrilla army, without fear of being hit by bullets from the enemy!
They attack, move flexibly and continue to pass each other showing their best ability without being saddled in the slightest.
They have seen, how enthusiastic the people of Indonesia and the world, so why not show the ability to be glimpsed by clubs outside Indonesia to increase their strength to study abroad.
“There!” marselino shouted very loudly, barely audible in the middle of 89,000 spectators.
Marselino gave a breakthrough pass forward, Sananta snatched it well and controlled it so perfectly amid the pressure of the South Korean players who were no longer playing games.
Min-jae, a South Korean centre-back tries to control the slippery movement from Sananta.
He did not want the ability of his defender obtained from Napoli lost in vain.
He violently tries to do a sweep, but Sananta is still slippery enough in the move that Min-jae barely hits Sananta's feet.
Luckily he immediately dropped his body and got Sananta through it.
In front of Sananta, Yu-min appears again who also does full support of Min-jae's control.
Sananta glanced to the left, there was Saddil who moved quite freely.
Given the ball, Saddil moved forward so quickly to beat Moon-hwan, South Korea's right-back with his nutmeg technique.
Saddil poked in the penalty box, but the slash cut quickly dispelled the ball and took it out of the area of the field.
He is a Heung-min who is suddenly at the back.
“Woah! Danger is also a wing attacker who can move freely once, where already six more goals he scored,” muttered Reza who listened from the area of his goal.
