JAKARTA - A scathing criticism was conveyed by Madura United foreign player, Lee Yu-jun, to PSSI. He asked the football parent to care more about the lives of the players than to be busy dealing with naturalization.
The criticism was conveyed by Lee after the horror incident that befell his teammate, Ricki Ariansyah. According to the South Korean player, there needs to be regulations in dealing with emergencies faced by footballers.
"PSSI must have regulations related to emergency (emergency) for players. Like what happened earlier, ambulances exist, but medical equipment for emergency matters is not ready. Even just oxygen doesn't exist," Lee wrote on Instagram Story.
"Please, things related to the safety of the players are prioritized. Don't just talk about naturalization, but the medical team is not standard at all," Lee added.
As previously reported, the player who is familiarly called Rian collapsed when his team won 2-0 over PSIS Semarang in Liga 1, Tuesday, March 7. He was unconscious when he scored Madura United's second goal against PSIS.
The 25-year-old collapsed in the extra minutes of the second half.
When he headed the ball, Ricki seemed to be hit by an opposing player's kick right in the face. He immediately fell before other players realized that Ricki was unconscious.
After the incident, Ricki immediately received medical assistance before being rushed to the hospital. However, medical equipment for emergency assistance is considered inadequate at all.
After receiving help from officers, Ricki was immediately taken to St. Elisabeth Semarang. Currently he is reported to be conscious.
