" Marselino Ferdinan has star syndrome, he plays worse and worse ," wrote Saputraa1995 on social network X (formerly Twitter).
Thousands of critical comments aimed at Indonesian players and Marselino Ferdinan appeared on the evening of January 5. The Indonesian team lost its second consecutive match against the Libyan team. In this match, the Indonesian team took the lead in the 6th minute but was easily turned around by the opponent. Individual mistakes in defense were the reason why coach Shin Tae-yong and his team received the "bitter fruit".
Marselino Ferdinan was criticized on social media.
The Indonesian team even suffered a heavy 0-4 defeat against the Libyan team on January 2. Three of the four goals conceded came from mistakes by naturalized stars like Justin Hubner and Jordi Amat.
For midfielder Marselino Ferdinan, the lack of professionalism in his daily life puts even more pressure on him. On the evening of December 28, Witan Sulaeman suddenly posted a picture of him cooking instant noodles with Ferdinan. Eating instant noodles is never a good thing for professional players. The duo was sternly reminded by coach Shin Tae-yong.
Unmag account sarcastically said: " Don't compete like that anymore Marselino Ferdinan, otherwise your instant noodles will be talked about by everyone ".
Account Adalah Racun analyzed: " The national team is in decline, maybe Marselino Ferdinan needs to be replaced earlier. Anyway, the second match was much better, the Libyan team could only defend and did not control the ball as much as the first match ".
There are still people who sympathize and support the young players. Laily wrote: " Marselino is injured and not in his best form. Some other players are also not connecting well. Hopefully everything will be better at the 2023 Asian Cup, keep trying ."
Despite mixed reviews, Marselino Ferdinan is still one of Indonesia's top young talents. He plays for KMSK Deinze in the Belgian Second Division. Ferdinan was born in 2004 and still has plenty of time to develop.
At the 2023 Asian Cup, the Indonesian team is in Group D with Japan, Vietnam and Iraq.
