Robi Dervishyoung player Persib Bandungstealing attention in Indonesia U-20 National Team. Persib legend Yudi Guntara also commented.
By Shin Tae-yong, Robi Darwis was assigned to a number of positions in the 2023 U-20 Asian Cup Qualification. His original position as a defensive midfielder, he was often played as a center back, right back, to the right wing.
Shin Tae-yong’s experiment yielded positive results. The 19-year-old was impressive. Robi Darwis is getting more and more attention because he has additional ammunition: powerful long-range throws.
Yudi Guntara said about Robi Dervish
“Robi Darwis, I see this player has character, has characteristics,” said Mr Yudi Guntara to detikJabar.
“A hard player and the type that Shin Tae-yong likes in my opinion. Like at Persib it was Hariono, then at right-back it was like Asnawi Mangkualamis fight play.”
Of Persib Bandung himself, Robi Darwis has relatively not got many minutes to play. Yudi considers it a natural thing for a young player.
“The levels are different, in the U-20 national team, at the club they play with Marc Klok, (Rachmat) Irianto, (Ricky) Kambuaya, if I were a coach I would definitely choose these three,” said Yudi.
Yudi believes Robi Darwis just needs more flying hours to become the main player of Persib. He also emphasized that Robi Darwis is a valuable asset for Persib Bandung.
“Actually it just takes time, but he (Robi) is a player who has characteristics and character. An asset for him Persib,” he said.
“The most important thing for young players like Robi is discipline, then an attitude that must be good on and off the field. That’s all if I think it’s something that must be maintained,” said Yudi.
