Arema FC Won’t Complain About the National Team Schedule, Here’s Why

DBasia.news – Defending the national team must be a dream for every football player in this world. It’s a part of nationalism, despite the temporary leave for the club.

Arema FC Milan Petrovic understands that hence he never complained since the preparation of his squad was bothered by the national team’s schedule.

Throughout this year, Milan Petrovic often prepares the Arema FC strategy without involving four main players. Kurniawan Kartika Aji, Ahmad Nur Hardianto, Hanif Sjahbandi, and Bagas Adi Nugroho often come in and out of the team due to the role in the U23 national team. The two last names remained until the end of Asian Games.

“Seeing them to the national level is a pride. So, I don’t think there would be a problem,” Milan Petrovic said.

While today, he once again must lose Bagas, Hanif, Alfin Tuasalamony, and Dedik Setiawan in FIFA’s official schedule. Apparently, the Indonesia against Mauritius match on September 11 was just two days away before the match between Arema FC against Persib Bandung in Liga 1.

“I will support them, despite the absence,” the Serbian coach concluded.

Hence, Milan Petrovic has prepared another plan if they can’t join the squad in Bandung after completing the national team duty.

“And by this condition, I have the job to look for the right solution. In this team, there are many young high-spirited players, who always waiting for the chance to play,” he concluded.
