Ahead of Indonesia vs Palestine: Marc Klok vs Mohammed Rashid, Duel Former Teammate at Persib Bandung

JAKARTA - Indonesian national team midfielder Marc Klok is looking forward to a duel with Palestinian midfielder Mohammed Rashid who has previously defended Persib Bandung.

Mohammed Rashid is one of the players brought in by Palestinian coach Makram Dabboub in the FIFA Matchday match against Indonesia which will be held at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium (GBT) in Surabaya, June 14.

"It's nice to see him again. It's been a long time since we met. Now we are meeting a country against a country," Klok said in his statement in Surabaya as quoted by Antara, Sunday.

Even so, when on the field, the footballer who is 177 centimeters tall will not consider Rashid as a friend.

"There are no friends on the field anymore, but outside it is different," said the Dutch-born naturalized player who took part in training at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium (GBT) in Surabaya on Saturday (10/6) evening.

The owner's full name Marc Anthony Klok thinks Rashid is one of the Palestinian players to watch out for because he has good skills.

"I know Rashid's quality, but now it might be a little different. His shooting is good, you have to anticipate it with blocks, his running from behind can also find momentum," he said.

However, he has not had the chance to see the Palestinian national team play so far.

"We haven't had a chance to see because we are focused on practicing alone and have just joined, maybe on June 12 or June 13 we will analyze Palestine," said the player who was born in April 1993.
