“Sorry, I’m not a true supporter of you, coach,” said Ibnu Jamil, starting his writing.
“There must have been a lot of energy, thought and time that has been put into helping bring Indonesian football this far. “We are at the temporary finishing point, which is getting closer to entering the World Cup,” explained Ibnu Jamil.
