PSIS Semarang’s 17-year-old center back, Brandon Scheunemann, was in the spotlight in the match against Arema FC, Saturday (21/1/2023).
BOLANAS.COM – Brandon Scheunemann can immediately enter the ranks of the Indonesian U-20 national team starters, depending on Shin Tae-yong’s will.
The U-20 Indonesian National Team has the opportunity to add one more “European” power following Brandon Scheunemann’s appearance in League 1.
Brandon Scheunemann just made his debut for PSIS Semarang when he met Arema FC in Week 19 of League 1 2022/23, Saturday (21/1/2023).
In that match, Brandon played the full 90 minutes by pocketing one yellow card and keeping a clean sheet.

Brandon’s background is somewhat interesting considering he is the son of the former Persema Malang coach, Timo Scheunemann.
During this time, Brandon often became a demonstration in many video tutorials on basic soccer techniques on his father’s YouTube channel.
In a way, Brandon is a “hidden gem” found by PSIS Semarang and polished by coach M Ridwan.
M Ridwan deserves credit for Brandon’s sudden appearance, considering that the new player briefly defended PSIS.

The coach, who is also a former Indonesian national team winger, seemed to see something big in Brandon.
“In football there is a term if you are good enough, there is no problem with your age, no one is young, no one is old,” said M Ridwan.
“I quite appreciate Brandon’s appearance, he has given all the abilities he has,” he continued.
Brandon also looks mature enough to duel with Dedik Setiawan, Abel Camara, and even Sergio Silva in a dead ball situation.
With such a performance, it would be impossible for Shin Tae-yong to miss him to be called up to the U-20 Indonesian national team.

Justin Hubner scolded Cahya Supriadi after making a blunder in the Indonesia U-20 vs France national team match (17/11/2022).
The U-20 Indonesian national team is scheduled to start training camp in February, to welcome the 2023 U-20 Asian Cup in March.
With a stature of 186 cm, Brandon has a towering physique which has been an added value in Shin Tae-yong’s eyes.
In the U-20 national team, he was able to immediately fill the center back post which was recently filled by Robi Darwis, a player whose original position is midfielder from Persib.
