Young Indonesian national team star posts bruised photo after match with Argentina

The 18-year-old Indonesian player posted 5 photos on his Instagram page, notably one of him with bruises on his neck and the back of his head. Although Marselino Ferdinan did not add any caption, the post quickly attracted the attention of fans of the "Land of Thousand Islands". After only 3 hours, the post of the striker born in 2004 received more than 300,000 likes.

According to the Indonesian press, although the home team lost to Argentina in the match on the evening of June 19, Marselino Ferdinan personally left an excellent performance and deserved to be praised. It was the composure of the young Indonesian midfielder that made him the focus of the Argentine players.

“From the start of the match, Marcelino Ferdinan really impressed the spectators at Bung Karno Stadium, Jakarta. The individual technique helped the player who plays for KMSK Deinze to surpass some Argentine stars. The climax came in the second half when Marselino Ferdinan successfully completed two impressive solo runs from close range. Therefore, the bruises are believed to have been caused by a foul by an Argentine player.

The first incident was when Marselino Ferdinan fooled Alejandro Garnacho, a rising young star of MU, on the sidelines. Not long after, it was Exequiel Palacios, who faced Marselino Ferdinan directly in the middle of the field, who experienced the same feeling. The 18-year-old's solo performance made thousands of Indonesian spectators in the stands cheer, almost exploding," CNN Indonesia commented.

Indonesian newspapers all commented that Marselino Ferdinan's technique made him the focus of the Argentine national team's midfielders.

In addition to Marselino Ferdinan's injury, Indonesian newspapers also claimed that many times the Argentine players were forced to commit fouls to stop the techniques of the Indonesian team. The bruise on Marselino Ferdinan's neck was just a small part of that. To be more convincing, they also gave the data that the 2022 World Cup champion committed 14 fouls, 1 more than the Indonesian team.

Also in the friendly match between Indonesia and Argentina, young MU player Alejandro Garnacho left a bad impression when he made a dangerous tackle with the sole of his boot on Indonesian defender Asnawi. Alejandro Garnacho entered the field in the 60th minute but did not leave any significant mark when he was closely followed by Asnawi and Marselino Ferdinan.

Alejandro Garnacho's dangerous foul

On social media, many conflicting opinions broke out when the referee only warned about this dangerous foul. Many fans thought that the young MU striker deserved a card, at least a yellow card to warn of violent behavior. Meanwhile, another group agreed and said that Alejandro Garnacho's actions were reasonable, especially when witnessing the home team playing rough for most of this match.

Even though the match has ended, Alejandro Garnacho's tackle is still a controversial topic on social media.
