Asnawi Mangkualam Calls for Recognition of Egy Maulana Vikri

Asnawi Mangkualam took to social media to celebrate the championship while urging supporters to acknowledge the contributions of Egy Maulana Vikri. Proud, everyone should appreciate this man. My roommate for 8 years every time he was called up to the national team. We’ve gone through ups and downs together, but he’s probably faced much tougher things. Asnawi wrote.

Egy delivered key pre-assists during the 9-2 victory over Bangladesh and Elkan Baggott’s equalizing goal against Thailand.

Thank God, God is fair, bro. You finally made a comeback with your best performance and led Indonesia to victory. By the way, this guy often says to me, “Bro, I’ve never won a trophy with the national team.” But now I have, my friend. You deserve it.
