FAJAR.CO.ID, MAKASSAR — One of PSM’s potential players, Sulthan Zaky was officially selected to take part in the U-17 Indonesian National Team training camp (TC).
Sulthan Zaky himself is one of the players chosen by the coach of the U-17 Indonesian National Team, namely Bima Sakti.
Later, this 17-year-old player will compete with 34 other players who received calls to join TC.
After receiving news regarding the summons, Zaky also felt grateful and proud to be able to again have the opportunity to defend the national team.
His gratitude is inseparable from the failure yesterday when he competed with the U-20 Indonesian National Team in the U-20 World Cup because FIFA revoked Indonesia’s host status.
“Alhamdulillah, I am very proud because yesterday I was disappointed that the U-20 World Cup failed. Now there is an opportunity, God willing, to play at u-17,” said Sulthan Zaky to Fajar.co.id, when met after training with PSM, Monday (10/9/2023).
The U-19 Indonesian National Team training camp, which is still in selection status, certainly makes this player who is identical to number 14 have to prove himself.
He also admitted that he would do and work as much as possible and leave the final decision to the coach.
However, Zaky remains optimistic that he can become one of the players to defend the Indonesian national team which is competing in the U-17 World Cup.
“Do the maximum, later in the TC it depends on the coach,” he said.
“Optimistic because everyone definitely wants to play in two world cups,” he said.
If later his dream of competing in the U-17 World Cup can come true, this close relative of Asnawi Mangkualam has his own targets.
