Jay Idzes Debut In Serie A Postponed Due To Card Accumulation

Jay Idzes had to postpone his appearance in the first week of Serie A 2024/2025 (Instagram/@jayidzes).

JAKARTA - The debut of the Indonesian national team player, Jay Idzes, in Serie A 2024/2025 with Venezia must be delayed. The reason is that the player must undergo a card accumulation sentence during the final playing-off promotion match.

While defending Venezia in the second leg of the promotion play-off final against Cremonese in June 2024, Jay Idzes was given a yellow card.

The card was sent because the referee considered Idzes unsportsmanlike in a dispute with the Cremonese player.

Ganjaran akumulasi kartu itu kemudian diterima Jay Idzes dan diterapkan untuk musim berikutnya. Mengamannya, akumulasi itu tidak berlaku di Coppa Italia yang Jay Idzes masih bisa tetap bermain ketika Venezia kalah 1-3 dari Brescia akhir pekan lalu.

The accumulation of cards received by Idzes is clearly a major blow to Venezia. Moreover, in the first week of Serie A 2024/2025, Venezia, who is the debutant team, will be faced with an away schedule to Lazio headquarters, Monday, August 19, 2024.

The match was tough for Venezia, who started the season with a loss to Brescia. In addition, Lazio is also predicted to be one of the most dangerous black horses in Serie A 2024/2025.

Giorgio Altare will most likely be prepared to fill the back line post of Venezia left by Jay Idzes. Altare also admitted that it was ready to be deployed.

"Yes, I feel ready. I am ready at any time, regardless of the coach's choice. I am always ready and you must always be ready when you have to face matches and championships like this."

"You have to be at the peak of your ability and potential," said Altare, quoted by Tutto Mercato Web.
