Jakarta, CNN Indonesia – Edy Rahmayadi later, it became a hot conversation on social media. Not because of his accomplishments as general president PSSI or governor Sumatra North, but because the comments are not good, bin not log on which is often viral.
Recently, Edy's comments on the failure of the Indonesian national team in the 2018 AFF Cup have again sparked controversy. Instead of answering the question, Edy instead accused the reporters of being responsible for the failure of the exploits of the Garuda team.
"Journalists have to be good, so if the journalists are good, the national team is good," Edy said.
As a journalist, of course I have the right to be offended. But I chose to laugh at his comments. Especially after seeing the same hilarious and entertaining internet users of the time now.
My heart really shook when the words of Edy were made sing or the slogan of the Ultras Garuda supporters group during the match of the Indonesia-Philippines national team at the main stadium Bung Karno, Jakarta, Sunday (25/11).
"Journalists have to be good, journalists need to be good, journalists need to be good, Ooo … Ooo … Ooo," so about sing who echoed the supporters of the red and white teams at the end of the first half of the match did not determine it.

Their action also received applause from journalists in the stands, including myself. An unusual scene occurs where teams of journalists and supporters support each other.
The group of supporters in the southern stands has been the most active singing since the beginning of the fight. It is not uncommon for their songs to be followed by other fans whose number does not exceed 15,000 people. Including screams "Edy Out" and "PSSI Revolution".
The disappointment of fans at GBK yesterday could represent the millions of Indonesian football lovers' voices. They are angry, furious and sad to see that the achievements of the Indonesian national team continue to fade.
How not As the only country in Southeast Asia to have participated in the World Cup, even under the name of the Dutch East Indies, Indonesia has not even been able to succeed in the AFF Cup phase, launched for the first time in 1996.

Ended up like finalist in the previous edition, the achievements of the Indonesian national team were back in free fall in the AFF 2018 Cup. The Milky Way landing team was unable to speak anymore and had to Stop in group stage.
Hansamu Yama Pranata and his friends were able to finish only fourth or a level above the interim group B team, Timor-Leste. The top two teams, Thailand and the Philippines, have the right to qualify for the semi-finals.
This is undoubtedly one of the worst achievements of the Indonesian national team at the tournament stage of the ASEAN countries. Especially this time, it was confirmed to Indonesia to lift the bag earlier and that he had only one game left.
It therefore seems normal that the media criticize coaches, players and the PSSI as a parent of Indonesian football. Of course, too, if the fans make the same criticism, of course, in a different way.
Dear Mr. Edy, may forget the function of the media. He also neglected the fact that the media can not only be a promotional tool, but also when he advertises in the form of news during the election campaign of the governor of North Sumatra.
The essential function of the media is to be a means of information capable of expressing the critique of power as a form of social control. While it is undeniable that it often has a negative trend, media criticism is ideally aimed at building for the common good.
The media can also play a role as watch dog or watchdog whose duty is to watch. He barks whenever there is abuse of authority.
Usually, manufactured products come in the form of journalistic breath reviews. Well, this type of criticism is what often makes the ear of the owners of the heat that, in this context, officials of the PSSI.
Although it is an independent institution, PSSI is an extension of the government whose job is to manage the nuts and bolts of Indonesian football.
Therefore, Mr. Edy must understand that the media only work watch dog against PSSI. The leaders of the PSSI must understand that they represent the hopes of millions of Indonesians who have missed their achievements.
In short, if you do not want to be criticized, you do not have to serve at PSSI. If you do not want to work optimally, do not sit in the PSSI soft chair.
It is therefore natural for the media to criticize the performance of the PSSI era, Edy Rahmayadi. He managed to reduce the management conflict that had plagued PSSI's body. However, he was not able to make PSSI "healthy".
The chronic PSSI disease concerning the determination of the schedule of competitions of the Indonesian League was still not cured. The league continues to function while the Indonesian national team faces AFF Cup. A rare situation that could only occur in Indonesia.

The biggest mistake of PSSI is the cancellation of Luis Milla's contract a few days before the start of the AFF Cup. The Spanish coach was considered to have managed to change the pattern of Garuda's game to make it more attractive although he did not achieve his goals at SEA Games and Asian Games. Games.
The chief trainer's seat was entrusted to the Milky Way, who was previously badistant. Unfortunately, the experience of Bima as a former player of the Indonesian national team is still not enough to present his achievements.
After the last game of the group stage, the Milky Way, with great enthusiasm, apologized for the failure of the AF Cup 2018. He even almost shed tears in front of the media.
The former Primavera team player is aware that his minimal experience as a coach is not sufficient to present the trophy. He hopes that all parties have joined together from the beginning to form a national team without seeking scapegoats.
Bima also pointed out that media criticism had never been disturbed. For him, the critics of the reporters were an encouragement for the progress of the Indonesian national team.
"In the future, reporters should not be afraid to criticize and comment, because I know the purpose of all for the advancement of the Indonesian national team," said the Milky Way.
If the Milky Way is capable of great minds and apologizes to the Indonesian public, it is different from the PSSI's attitude. Their "commander", Edy Rahmayadi, rather conferred on the journalists.
Inhibiting freedom of the press
I have tried to think positively to the words of Edy Rahmayadi. Perhaps former Pangkostrad was troubled by his dual role as PSSI governor and governor of North Sumatra.
My conjecture was reinforced by the comments of Edy, who admitted to being dizzy by answering the many questions that reporters considered his position.
"I have a lot of badignments, have my head spinning, what do you ask of the time?" no I got dizzy. Because I'm not one of my thoughts, I think about everything, "Edy told Medan last September.

The statement followed controversial comments in a direct interview with Kompas TV presenter Aiman Wicaksono, who had asked questions about competing positions.
"What does your company ask about it? It's not your right to ask me," said Edy Rahmayadi.
Since then, Edy Rahmayadi has often requested the presence of Kompas TV journalists at a press conference. Whether it is joking or serious, Edy 's behavior could hinder freedom of the press.
I hope Edy only jokes when he says that the achievements of the national team will be good if the reporters are too. Because this sentence has no correlation.
Until then, I did not really understand the definition of a good journalist that Edy Rahmayadi wanted. Are they the ones who only have good news or have special relationships with IHSP representatives?
Edy Rahmayadi may need to re-read the story of Tirto Adhi Soerjo, a young man from Stovia who inspired the Indonesian press. The tendency of the questioner was often warm to the ears of the Dutch colonial government at that time.
So, PSSI does not have to be angry to be criticized by the nation itself. After allIts main purpose is only to promote Indonesian football.
If possible, I would like to ask the Honorable Edy: "If reporters are good, when can PSSI be healthy?" (VWS)
