JAKARTA - The Italian club, Como 1907, is being discussed by Indonesian netizens. Initially, the team owned by the Indonesian ruler received appreciation for successfully promoting it to Serie A.
Como ended Serie B 2023/2024 as runners-up in the competition. They accompany Parma to Italy's highest league next season.
However, recently the appreciation turned into ridicule. The trigger, one of the representatives of Como owners, Mirwan Suwarso, said Thom Haye did not meet the standards.
Even if it is recruited, said Mirwan, Thom Haye may be the third layer.

The statement turned out to make Indonesian football lovers furious and attack Como's Instagram account, @comofootball.
Many netizens say Como is too arrogant and demeans the quality of Thom Haye.
Meanwhile, Mirwan further said that Como had technical reasons behind the refusal to recruit Thom Haye.
The tough competition in Serie A next season makes Como prioritize recruiting high-quality players so they don't just ride by.
In addition, the character of a midfielder like Thom Haye did not match the team's needs.
Currently, Como needs dynamic and aggressive midfielders number 8 and 10, as the team implements the pressing game. While Thom Haye is not like that.
Thom Haye is a type of player like a sickle that has an accurate long distance pass. The 29-year-old also operates more often as the second-field man.
No wonder, Thom Haye is said to be unable to support the pattern of the team's game that requires players who are actively pressing.
Previously, Como was known to have monitored Thom Haye's talent to appear in Serie B. However, the plan was canceled.
Now that it is in Serie A, the criteria for players to be recruited by Como are clearly different.
