Bola.net – The Indonesian national team won the 2019 U-23 AFF Cup. However, the title is not a guarantee for Indra Sjafri’s players to have a glorious career.
Several members of the Indonesian national team squad at the 2029 U-23 AFF Cup still exist at the top level. Witan Sulaeman, Andy Setyo, and Dimas Drajad are still in the Indonesian National Team, at the senior level.
Then, there are Firza Andika, Hanif Sjahbandi, and Bagas Adi who regularly play for the team. Fredyan Wahyu and Sani Rizky also have good careers. Asnawi Mangkualam is the most brilliant because he is now playing in South Korea.
However, there are some players who are not lucky enough. Injuries make them have to ‘disappear’ from circulation. There are also players who are missing because their performance continues to decline, making it difficult to find a club.
Who are the ‘missing’ players from the 2019 AFF U-23 Cup winning squad? Come on, see the full review below, Bolaneters.

Position: Right/centre back

Samuel Christianson became part of the Indonesian national team in various age groups. However, until now he has never received a call at the senior level.
