TIMNAS Indonesia U-23 have to resign from 2022 AFF U-23 Cup due to the Covid-19 storm. This news has attracted the attention of many parties, especially Malaysian netizens.
One of the Malaysian netizens with the Instagram account @malayantiger.co issued a provocative sentence about the news of the withdrawal of the U-23 Indonesian National Team. In the caption on the photo of the U-23 Indonesian National Team he uploaded, @malayantiger.co wrote, “Weak, population of 270 million. The sick 14. Just change.”
The upload was automatically commented on by fans of the U-23 Indonesian National Team. They teased again by reminiscing about Malaysia’s 1-4 defeat to the Indonesian national team in the 2020 AFF Cup.
“Think of it as entertainment for you, so that the 4-1 tragedy or worse tragedy doesn’t repeat itself. Predict the score if Indonesia U-23 joins (5-0 for Indo),” wrote the account @ubed_ubaidillah28.
However, it turns out that there are also Malaysian netizens who sympathize with the U-23 Indonesian National Team. Malaysian netizens with the account @amarshafie considered the sentence @malayantiger.co inappropriate.
“It is not beautiful to use materials for epidemics or disasters. We must pray for good. Fight, fight too. But fellow Muslims, fellow human beings, need to be taken care of too, right?” write the account @amarshafie.
The absence of the U-23 Indonesian National Team is quite unfortunate. Because, Garuda Nusantara is the defending champion in this tournament.
