Jokowi was fooled by the scene of Indra Sjafri prostrating gratitude

The president said that he was also fooled by the scene when the Indonesian coach, Indra Sjafri, made a prostration of gratitude and celebrated at the end of the second half thinking the game was over.

“I was also wrong, I shook hands, congratulated each other, it turned out that I was still playing and scoring. I was also surprised,” said the President.

The President also confirmed that he would think about an appropriate prize to be given as a bonus for the Indonesian team for their achievements at the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia.

Moreover, Indonesia has quenched its thirst for winning a gold medal in men’s football at the SEA Games, which had been going on for 32 years.

“The prize will be considered later. However, we will give it later. Because this has been really awaited by all Indonesian people, it has been 32 years,” said Jokowi.

Of course, the President has not only prepared bonuses for the men’s soccer team because the Indonesian contingent has also succeeded in closing the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia with a total of 87 gold medals.

This achievement exceeded the previously set target of 60 gold Ministry of Youth and Sportsas well as the target of 69 gold entrusted by President Jokowi when the contingent was released.
