PSM Makassar Captain Criticizes Indonesian Football Over Referee Controversy
PSM Makassar's captain, YuranFernandes, expressed his frustration with Indonesian football following a controversial match against PSS Sleman in Liga 1 2024-25. After a 1-3 loss, Fernandes criticized the referee's decisions during a post-match press conference. He was particularly upset about two key moments: a disallowed goal he scored after a VAR check and a controversial decision allowing a goal for PSS Sleman despite an apparent foul. These incidents led to his public dissatisfaction, which he shared not only in the press but also on social media.
In an Instagram story, Fernandes vented his anger and mocked the state of football in Indonesia. He suggested that both the level of play and corruption in the sport were stagnant and unchanged. Fernandes sarcastically welcomed players who are looking to make money to come to Indonesia but warned serious footballers to stay away, further illustrating his disappointment with the integrity of the league and its officials.
His comments reflect a deep frustration with the system, which he feels undermines the quality of the sport in the country. By pointing out the lack of fairness in officiating and the overall environment of Indonesian football, Fernandes highlighted the need for significant improvements if the sport is to grow and be taken seriously.
