Completely Defending The Indonesian National Team, Dean James And Emil Audero: Thank You Surabaya

JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team has finished carrying out the September 2025 edition of the FIFA Matchday agenda. The players will return to their respective clubs. Prior to that, Emil Audero and Dean James did not forget to thank Surabaya for being the host.

Throughout the FIFA Matchday agenda, two matches of the Indonesian national team were held at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium. As a result, the Indonesian national team won 6-0 over China Taipei and played without a 0-0 goal against Lebanon.

After the FIFA Matchday match, Emil Audero was seen uploading a photo after the match. He also did not forget to write a thank you note for Surabaya and hoped he would return soon.

"Thank you Surabaya. See you later," Emil wrote in an upload on his Instagram account quoted Wednesday, September 10, 2025.

Not only Emil, a similar appreciation was also conveyed by Dean James. The Go Ahead Eagles player also expressed his gratitude to Surabaya.

"Always grateful, always proud. Thank you Surabaya," said Dean James.

In the match against Lebanon, Dean James showed a slick performance. On Monday, September 8, 2025, he managed to create several dangerous crosss for the opponent's defense.

Unfortunately, the Indonesian national team had problems in finishing the end of this match. This made a number of mature passes given by Dean James unable to be converted into goals.

Meanwhile Emil Audero performed full in two test matches against China Taipei and Lebanon. The Cremonese goalkeeper also marked his performance with a clean-sheet score in those two matches.

This good report card Emil Audero has made the competition under the Indonesian national team's bar even more fierce. He will compete fiercely with FC Dallas goalkeeper Maarten Paes to fill the main goalkeeper post in the Fourth Round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.
