HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF?

ASK M. Iksan Rahadian

Why did you choose futsal as your sport?

Because futsal has been a hobby of mine since I was young.

What does futsal mean to you in life?

Futsal has become an inseparable part of my life.

What was your reason for deciding to become a professional futsal player?

I wanted to challenge myself to further develop in futsal and achieve my dreams.

Is it true that there are rumors about you having a favorite jersey that you always bring wherever you go?

Yes, back in the university league and amateur tournaments, I almost always wore the same jersey because many opponents were intimidated by it.

What does that jersey mean to you?

Back then, it didn't have a special meaning. I just brought it as a backup in case the team forgot to bring the goalkeeper jersey or if the size was too small. But now, it has become a memento because we often won while wearing that jersey.

Who is your role model goalkeeper in the futsal world?

Bang Yaw and Bang Ade Lesmana.

What is the funniest moment you remember from your time in the national team or club training camp?

In my club, we once lost a game and as a punishment, we had to dance like a band performing on the field.

What message do you have for goalkeepers in Indonesia?

No matter how skilled you are, you must maintain a good attitude and respect for everyone. And one more thing, don't be lazy in training. Goalkeeper training is inevitably more challenging than training for other positions.
