Suwon FC on Indonesia Supernova Arhan, local reporters are also looking forward to it
Arhan was born in 2001 as a member of the Indonesian national team and has already played more than 30 A matches. He played for Tokyo Verdi and recently entered the K-League when he came to Suwon FC. Asnaoui played well for Ansan Greeners and Jeonnam Dragons, and Shin Tae-yong, the head coach of the Indonesian A-team, is also interested in Indonesian soccer in Korea. In the meantime, Arhan came to Suwon FC and received more attention.
Coach Kim Eun-jung said, "I have been paying attention to Arhan since he was a member of the national team by age," adding, "I am ready to help the team to fulfill its potential." Arhan is currently playing the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup before coming to Suwon FC.
Arhan, who plays as the main left-back, was trusted by coach Shin Tae-yong for his outstanding throw-in ability and involvement in offense and defense. He played in matches against Iraq and Vietnam, and contributed to the 1-0 win against Vietnam. Arhan stood out among many players who played in Indonesia.
How would you feel about Indonesia? Muhammad Mahar, a reporter for Compass in Indonesia and Vietnam, said, "Arhan played in all different national teams by age. He was extremely passionate as he spent two hours at home trying to play soccer when he was young. He is humble to his fans and offers good fan service. He has good throw-in skills, moves really hard and has a good star quality. I know he has 4 million followers on Instagram."
In fact, the figure stood at 7 million. Mahar also knew that Arhan went to Suwon FC. When he talked about the Indonesian superstar that Arhan introduced at the time of the recruitment announcement, Mahar replied with a smile, "I think that will happen. We will do better in the future."
If he met Arhan in the mixed zone but doesn't speak any languages other than Indonesian, he said he would promise to do so next time. Arhan will join Suwon FC led by head coach Kim Eun-jung after the Indonesian national team's schedule is over.
Indonesia is still within sight of advancing to the group stage with one win and one loss. The last opponent is Japan. Japan, which lost to Iraq, must catch Indonesia unconditionally. It is an Indonesian game, but since there is head coach Shin Tae-yong and he is playing against Japan, he will likely draw a lot of attention.
