REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- After failed to persuade Andik Firmansyah to join the club, Ventforet Kofu - a Japanese football (soccer) club from Kofu- is not giving up to chase Indonesian players. The club is now scheduled to conduct a trial on three other Indonesian players on December 13, 2013.
The three players are Irfan Bachdim, Ruben Sanadi and Syakir Sulaiman. Bachdim departure to Japan has been known by Thai media last week. He with two other Thai players, Surawich Longarwit and Noppanon Kotchpalayuk from Chonburi FC will undergo a practise at Vegalta Sendai.
National player who was born 25 years ago will follow a trial with his colleagues from Indonesia. Bachdim spent his time with Sriracha FC, while Sanadi (26 years) is a member of Persipura Jayapura that won Indonesia Super League 2012-2013. The youngest player is Sulaiman (21 years), a member of Persiba Balikpapan who won title as the best ISL young player in previous season.
Ventforet Kofu previously conducted one week trial for Firmansyah. However, both sides did not reach an agreement. Firmansyah later ensured himself to join Malaysian club, Selangor FA.
