Coach , Bernardo Tavares, showed off his team’s contribution to the Indonesian National Team after playing many U-23 players in BRI Liga 1 2023/2024.

PSSI and PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) require each club to field one U-23 player as a starter for a minimum of 45 minutes in BRI Liga 1 this season.

However, Tavares trusted three PSM Makassar U-23 players to play from the early minutes when facing Persebaya Surabaya in Week 26 of BRI Liga 1 at the Batakan Stadium, Balikpapan, on Wednesday (28/2/2024).

The three are Ananda Raehan, 20 years old, Daffa Salman, 21 years old, and Ricky Pratama, 20 years old. However, PSM Makassar was matched by Persebaya 0-0.

Many have been called up to the Indonesian National Team

“Look at how many U-23 players we play. PSM has made a contribution to the Indonesian national team,” said Tavares.

“After this, the Indonesian National Team took several players for a training camp. We only see many PSM players this season three to four times a week,” said Tavares.

PSM Makassar is indeed one of the BRI Liga 1 teams whose players are most often called up by the Indonesian National Team at various age levels, starting from seniors, U-23 and U-20.

In the Indonesian National Team, PSM sent Yakob Sayuri. Names such as Reza Arya, Yance Sayuri, and Dzaky Asraf have also been tried in the past year.

Meanwhile in the U-23 national team, PSM is represented by Ananda Raehan. However, Dzaky Asraf and Victor Dethan were also part of Shin Tae-yong’s fleet squad.

Meanwhile, in the U-20 national team, based on the composition of players at the beginning of this year, PSM had three names consisting of Syamil Bahij, Sulthan Zaky, and Mufli Hidayat.
