“Besides, I won’t give any appeal considering the lesson. If they acted violated the regulation, they deserved to be punished. That’s what I think,” he added.

He stated that despite the disturbance in Persija Jakarta’s power. Moreover, Andritany Ardhiyasa and Rezaldi Hehanussa will support Indonesia national team in the friendly matches against Myanmar, Wednesday (10/10) and Hong Kong (16/10).

“The coach will have the solution despite the decreasing squad. We have many options, not just one. Like Andritany, he has two goalkeeper options. Bule and Ismed as well. So it won’t be a problem,” Ardhi continued.
