Touching Story of Former Indonesian National Team Star Zulfiandi, Retiring from Football to Take Care of His Mother

Dream - Zulfiandi made a surprising decision. The former player of the Indonesian national football team announced a temporary hiatus from the green field. This decision to take a break from the green field has clearly shocked football fans. Because, he is still considered to be in his prime as a football player.

But Zul has made a decision. Everyone must respect him. Through Instagram, he stated that many people questioned his decision to take a break from kicking the round skin. "Therefore, I permit myself to convey it here," wrote the man born in Bireuen on July 17, 1995.

For Zul, all questions sent via direct message about his decision are seen as a form of concern. "I would like to express my gratitude to friends who have been asking about my football career. I consider it as a form of care and attention from my friends," he continued.

In the post, Zul said that there were actually many offers from various football clubs in the homeland to him. So, his decision to take a break from the green field is not because there are no clubs that need his energy. "Thank God there are offers for cooperation to me, both from Liga 1 and Liga 2," he emphasized.

"Take care of mother"

However, there are several reasons that made him decide to take a break. One of them is because his mother is currently ill. "Of course, as a child, I want to give my best service to her," wrote Zulfiandi.

According to Zul, no one knows how long a human's lifespan is. Zul wants to serve his mother by taking care of her when she is sick. "The form of service I can do right now is by taking care of her and accompanying her," writes Zul.

"Other Reasons"

Another reason, Zul wants to enjoy moments with his children. He wants to witness their growth and development. He wants to play together, accompany and pick them up from school. "Alhamdulillah, an opportunity like this for me is a pleasure from Allah," he said.

Zul is well aware that not everyone agrees with his decision. Because everyone has different principles. "The most important thing is how we can respect each other," he added.

"Career Journey"

Zulfiandi began his football career from his hometown. PSSB Bireun became his first club. In 2013, he joined the U-19 National Team and became the champion of the AFF U-19 Cup held in Indonesia.

"He also joined the Indonesian national team in the 2019 SEA Games in the Philippines. At that time, the Indonesian national team was only able to achieve silver after losing to the Vietnamese national team in the final match."

A number of major clubs have been defended by him throughout his career. Among them are Bhayangkara FC, Bali United, Sriwijaya, and Madura United. In those clubs, Zulfiandi has always been an important pillar in maintaining midfield stability as a defensive midfielder.
