Indonesia U-23 football manager
Rahmad Darmawan calling for sign out from his post. His decision shocking most
of football fans, because he did a great job creating Indonesia U-23 football
team become a solid team although he failed to present the gold medal.
“The point is, he felt fail to get
gold medal in SEA GAMES,” said Eddy Syahputra, Darmawan’s represent for
Indonesian Football Federation (PSSI), at the PSSI headquarter. Eventhough he
couldn’t manage his team to win the tournament, public love the way he trains.
Not only made some various and
attractive games yet become tough team to defeat, he also can unite Indonesian
squad from the whole places of this country. As we know, Indonesia consists of
dozen tribes and nations stretch thousand miles from the West most in Sabang to
the East most in Merauke. But Darmawan could compose those talents that spread
all of the country to create a solid team. Unfortunately, his team was defeated
in penalty shootout against their fierce rival Malaysia in the final stage.
There is no strong reason to make
him out of his post, but he can’t accept failure. He failed to achieve
his goals. Failure is a failure, no matter what people say. So he resigned from
his post. Seeing that, it’s so rare in this country, where the public officers
always reluctant to quit, althought they are so busted commited in crime and
corruption. Really it’s a gentleman act, he choose to resign because of his
failure.
But lately, he confirms that he has
another reason about his resignation is because PSSI discriminates players from
LSI (Liga Super Indonesia) cannot play for national teams because they are
playing contrary to LPI (Liga Prima Indonesia). LSI is contra league to LPI
created by people who doesn’t content with previous PSSI members. And the next
thing, as usual in “political” world, PSSI strikes back with a policy that
player who play in LSI cannot play for national team.

“Players from LSI cannot plays for
national team. That’s what makes me resign,” said Darmawan in press conference,
Thursday (15/12).
He explained that to build a solid
national team we should unite all talents that spread across country not
discriminating the player outside legal league. Players must not be a victim
from political affairs inside PSSI.
Doesn’t agree with PSSI policy, he
choose to quit from his post. And again I said, he is a true gentleman. He
choose not to be a hypocrate, that always show acceptance, but deepdown in
heart not agree. A clear attitude that he doesn’t like the policy.
And one more thing, not only a
gentleman, but he also good in reading “language” underneath words. What I’m
trying to say is, I think his resignation is a smart decision because he had
high bargain position in national team and public opinion. His image is so good
in front of public. He had nothing to loose if he quits. Meanwhile, it’s a
really lost losing someone as good as Darmawan in national team coach.
Goddamnit ! Really it is a smart
gentleman.
