Unesa.ac.id, SURABAYA-The Indonesian national team will face Thailand in the first leg of the 2020 AFF Cup Final which will be held at the National Stadium, Singapore, tonight, Wednesday, December 28, 2021, at 19.30 WIB. Various supports for the national team came from all Indonesian people, one of which was from UNESA. To encourage the national team, the Chancellor made a live video call with the mainstay midfielder of the Indonesian national team, Rachmat Irianto, today at around 13.40 WIB.
Rachmat Irianto, who is an active student of UNESA Sports Education, stated that they had just held a meeting with the coach to stabilize the match tonight. How are you and the preparations there? "Thank God, Sir (UNESA Chancellor, ed) we are all fine and the preparations are also thank God. Yes, I ask for prayers, Sir, from the UNESA big family and all, I hope the match goes safely and can win," said the man who is usually called Rian.
UNESA Chancellor Prof. Dr. Nurhasan, M.Kes., on that occasion encouraged the National Anchor Midfielder. He stated that with passion and hard work, the national team could win in the final match. He advised, to always be confident and optimistic to play calmly and beautifully. “Fight like you train and train like you fight. Stick to that principle in order to produce a calm and controlled game. This is what I always message the athletes," he said.
He added that nothing unites the national spirit from Sabang to Merauke, except for two events; Independence Day is commemorated every August 17 and when the best sons and daughters fight for the Red and White, they fly on the champion podium. "Every movement of Mas Irianto and his teammates in the field can regulate the heartbeat of our Indonesian people from Sabang to Merauke. There is tension, there is emotion and there is happy laughter," he said.
The Indonesian people believe, continued Cak Hasan, that the national team can create laughter and happiness for the entire Indonesian nation in the AFF Cup Final. People also believe that Indonesia can become a champion.
"I and the entire UNESA family and even the entire Indonesian nation believe that the national team is able to provide the best. Best wishes from all of us for the victory and glory of the Indonesian national team," he said. “When we return home, we from UNESA have a special appreciation for Mas Irianto. Greetings other friends. Keep your spirits up and believe you can win,” he ordered, ending the short conversation. [UNESA PR]
