JAKARTA Warganet assessed that Marselino Ferdinand would have success in Europe compared to his predecessor. That was after the former Persebaya Surabaya player scored one goal each and an assist for KMSK Debze.

The Indonesian national team player started for the first time when his team played in a friendly against KV Oostende at Diaz Arena, Belgium, Thursday, March 23, 2023, afternoon local time.

"It looks like Marselino's career abroad will be more proud than the previous one," commented an Instagram user in the Belgian club's upload.

In this match, Marselino scored in the 73rd minute to help his team close the game with a 3-1 win. He grabbed his partner's pass with a header.

In addition to scoring goals, he also made an assist for the team's first goal. The 18-year-old gave Ayman Kasimi a measured cross from the right and was struck by Ayman Kasimi in the 35th minute.

This appearance made netizens hope that coach Deinze could consider getting Marselino to become a major player in the team.

"Hopefully we can become the main players," wrote another Instagram user.

There are also those who say that Marselino performed so nicely in that match. The midfielder's game is considered neater than usual.

"Don't be complacent Marsel. Continue to the level of ability," wrote another.

Other netizens say that it is physically possible for Marselino to compete in Europe. However, it should need to increase its muscle mass.

"From his height posture, Marselino supports it. It's just a matter of muscle. Cool this kid," commented one user.

This is the first time Marselino has been in a line-up that has come down in the early minutes since joining the club in February. Previously he only played as a reserve with two appearances.
