JAKARTA - The naturalized player of the Indonesian national team, Elkan Baggott, admitted that he was very happy to have the opportunity to appear in the FIFA Matchday match against Argentina. Not only that, Baggott is also happy because he can exchange jerseys with his idol, Cristian Romero.

The moment of exchanging jerseys between Baggott and the Argentine defender occurred after the match at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK) on Monday, June 19 evening WIB. It is known that Baggott had a chance to talk with Romero before exchanging jerseys.

After Romero gave Baggot his jersey, the star also appears to be asking for the clothes worn by the 20-year-old player.

This opportunity is a beautiful moment that made an impression on Baggott. Because the Cheltenham Town FC player did idolize and made Romero an example in his football career.

"He has been proven to be a very good center-back in the Premier League," Baggott said after the match.

Baggott hopes to become a tough defender like Romero. He also wants to have the opportunity to appear in the English Premier League someday.

"Hopefully I can be like him," Baggott hoped.

Romero himself contributed positively to Argentina when he appeared in the match against the Indonesian national team. The 25-year-old scored one goal with a header after taking advantage of a corner.

Romero also performed 90 minutes in the FIFA Matchday match which ended 2-0 for the Albiceleste team.
