Ezra Walian Can Strengthen Indonesia, Netizens: Traumatized If There Is Any Persib Players In National Team, Blamed When Losing

JAKARTA - The administrative process for the transfer of Ezra Walian's status has been declared complete. PSSI ensured that the Persib Bandung player could defend the Indonesian national team.

Secretary-General, Yunus Nusi is grateful that the administrative process of Ezra Walian was finally completed properly and FIFA responded quickly.

As is known, the filing of the administrative process and the change of Ezra's association does take time and is not easy. Although Ezra has been naturalized since 2017, he still has administrative problems.

Moreover, he has played with the Dutch national team in the U-15, U-16, and U-17 age groups.

"It's true, the direction of PSSI Chairman so that the process of transferring the status of Ezra Walian is a priority and we are grateful that today we received a letter from FIFA regarding the decision from the Player Status Committee regarding the status of the player," said Yunus Nusi, Monday, June 14, quoted from the PSSI official website.

Through social media, Ezra welcomed FIFA's decision regarding his current status by expressing gratitude and thanks to all parties.

"Today is a good day! FIFA gave the green light; my association is changed and I am finally allowed to represent my country again," said the Manado descent player through the @ezrawalian account.

"Let’s continue to work hard and do what I love most; play football and we will see what the future will bring! Thank you @pssi @persib. Thank you fans for all your support!" he continued.

Garuda squad supporters and Persib fans are also happy to celebrate Ezra's status. Through the comments column for the striker's upload, various words were said by netizens. Lots of support.

"Congrats bro, miss seeing your action wearing the Garuda jersey," said the account @redijay ***

"Finally congrats yup," wrote @putriiwhw***

However, there are also those who are traumatized by the presence of Persib players in the Indonesian national team. He was worried that Ezra would become a scapegoat every time the Garuda squad lost to their opponents.

"Good luck bro, I feel traumatized if there are Persib players who join the Indonesian national team, but if the Indonesian national team loses there must be Persib players who must be blamed, like the case of @febrihariyadi13 I hope you won't be like the case of @febrihariyadi13 who was bullied continuously if the national team lost," said @arya_pesstor ***
