Jay Idzes, a Dutch midfielder who currently plays for Venezia in Serie B, recently made headlines in Indonesia by giving away Venezia jerseys to two Indonesian national team players, Witan Sulaeman and Marselino Ferdinan.
This gesture from Idzes has sparked a debate among Indonesian football fans as to which player is better suited to wear the Venezia jersey. Both Witan and Marselino have been rising stars in Indonesian football, with impressive performances for both club and country.
Witan Sulaeman, a 21-year-old midfielder who plays for Persebaya Surabaya, has been a key player for the Indonesian national team. Known for his technical skills and composure on the ball, Witan has the ability to control the midfield and create scoring opportunities for his teammates. His versatility allows him to play in various positions, making him a valuable asset for any team.
On the other hand, Marselino Ferdinan, a 23-year-old striker who plays for Bali United, has also been making a name for himself in Indonesian football. With his speed, agility, and goal-scoring ability, Marselino has been a consistent threat in front of goal for both club and country. His ability to find the back of the net has earned him praise from fans and pundits alike.
As fans continue to debate over which player is more deserving of wearing the Venezia jersey, it is important to remember that both Witan and Marselino have their own unique strengths and qualities that make them valuable assets to the Indonesian national team. Ultimately, it will be up to Jay Idzes and the coaching staff at Venezia to decide which player fits best into their squad.
Regardless of the outcome, the fact that Indonesian players are catching the attention of foreign clubs like Venezia is a positive sign for the development of Indonesian football. With more opportunities for Indonesian players to showcase their talents on the international stage, the future looks bright for Indonesian football.
