A year ago for
the very first time my beloved Liverpool football club came to Indonesia. A
year ago the dream all Indonesian Kopites came true. We saw LFC for real. We
saw LFC with our own eyes. Yes we are!
July 17th, 2013
on Halim Perdanakusumah airport, Jakarta at 2.14 pm they were landing. They
step on Indonesia for first time. About
two thousand of Kopites were waiting them. They were preparing special welcome.
That was so so great. Even they run after the bus which takes along the squad.
They troop after hotel where LFC’s player will stay in. Since airport they
called players’ name, sang LFC’s chants, and player’s chants. They were
struggling hard enough (as we knew that time is Ramadan where Muslims are
fasting). However it doesn't matter they race with another lfc’s fans to be
able see closer with the players. Crazy! Unfortunately I missed the chance to
say greeting reception for them. Ya coz I am not in the situation which let me
to do.
I was set the
plan. I was order a ticket from Bigreds so long since May 4th, 2013. Anyway
thanks to Daslah who was help me bought that ticket with her account heheh (I
don’t have BCA account so I asked her to help me :XX). FYI when I knew the news
about Liverpool tour pre season that I got from twitter, facebook and some
media (to make sure the info is not hoax only). I swear I cry. Coz I knew that
time is not appropriate with my education schedule. On July I gonna do KKM,
stay at one village for one month ( I don’t even know where will I stay). Ooohh I was crying, I don’t
care my friend saw me. In that time I was at Imelda’s boarding house with Nira,
Ulfah, Yeni, Nisa and Yunita. I am grateful to have them in my life. They are
my best friends. They were convincing me that I can see Liverpool. They told me
that when I am KKM I asked permission to the leader in my team. So, I took
allocation days go home to go to Jakarta.
Thank you guys for your big supports :*
Next, on Friday,
early morning when my teammates still sleep I was preparing to go home from the
KKM place. I remember only Dina who wake up. She told me to take care, don’t forget to take look with Steven Gerrard
and get his autograph. ahahhah hard enough yes. I am not sure I able to. As I
knew I have so many competitors coz I admire the front man of this club, the
one and only dashing legend. Ohh Mr. Gerro, I love you ya :*
My big bro pick me up. When I was
at home I got sleep coz hard dizzy and fever. Actually I was sick since two
days ago. But I was convincing to myself if I can do it. I can walk means I can
see my Liverpool with my own eyes. It’s very impossible I miss that chance.
Impossible! Bismillah.. Jakarta I am coming. Liverpool waits for me K.
July 19th, 2013,
after jumuah prayer I go to Serang station. Waiting the bus drove me mad. It
made me late to see training season that I got from privilege as Bigreds’
member. Omg I go at 1 pm and I arrive at 6 pm, cool! Errrrr I haven’t got my
ticket and my scarf yet. Even I got strayed away. Hah what a day! >.<
I came to Jakarta by myself ahahhah
determined. After I was disappointed for missed training season, I depart for
my friend’s boarding house (Ipul, my friend when I was senior high school). I
am freak enough yess ahhaha that boarding house is for men but I took risk to
stay there. I ranted one room. Ipul promise to keep me and he told me here is
secure, don’t worry.
In the morning at 10 am Ipul and I
go to GBK. I mean only me who came to GBK. Ipul just carrying me to coz he has
to go to work. In the busway the situation is crowded. I didn't get seat. I
stand with so many people and almost of them are men -.-“.
Finally yeeeaahh welcome to GKB
ahhah lol. There are three things which made me surprise. First one, it’s
Ramadan but there were so many food sellers. Then the buyers were also seemed
innocent, so silly hah. Face of Jakarta, isn't it! Second one, when I came to
locket, a man told that my bag was open end. Omg directly I check my stuffs and
of course my pocket. Alhamdulillah that pickpocket failed stole my money, lol
:P. I can’t imagine if my pocket lost. I can’t back to my house. Ahhh maybe I
can be homeless in Jakarta (lebay) :D. And.. the last one is… the ticket for
bang Rais sold out (7th category). What the hell..! Damn.
Well I sit and saw the amazing
moment while i were waiting Mbay (my friend in LI page who come from Bandung.
We have plan that we'll meet up with some admins at LI page). Bus one by one
came. Kopites from some regions of
Indonesia gather united in one color, Red. They wear full of Liverpool
attributes. The jersey as a pride, scarves, hats, flags, and giant banners deck
out every side of SU-GBK (Indonesia’s national stadium). They sing a loud round
the way with excited faces. My eyes never got bore saw that incredible moment.
Damn.. it’s so awesome God.
Ok finally Mbay came. He was
bringing me to Fx mall (Bengawan solo cafe) to take my ticket. We were like
idiot frequently go up on elevator hahah. Actually Bengawan solo cafe is in the
baseman of Fx mall lol. Then yeah I got my ticket (the man said why you didn't
come at training season sist. That was so great. You missed that gold chance). Stuck! Anyone can hit my
head to forget that moron incident which made me late. I was in GBK but the
gate was closed. I don’t lucky at all, lad.
In the Fx I saw
so many Kopites. And some guys asked us, is it true here will come LFC’s squad?
WTF guys please we don’t know anything. We even don’t know my friend will get ticket
or not. Our brain is too busy think about that. Then Mbay said to me those guys
are autism hahah lol. I saw there are a place full of chairs and LFC’s
decoration. Maybe that’ll be use to press conference or advertisement aim.
Honestly I wanna wait in that mall see what happen next. And I also wanna take
a look at the mini Shankly gate, LFC players’ background, LFC player’s image
and I wanna buy LFC stuffs as merchandise and soon. But I won’t Mbay tell that
I am autism too like those guys huahahah.
Well back to GBK. Mbay meet up with
his friends in the freestyle community. He also tried to show me his talent.
Anyhow it’s not his day hahah he played poor, I’m so sorry nocturnal man.
That’s true ehheheh.
Dzuhur payer came. We gonna pray.
Unexpectedly torrential rains. So, we can’t go to anywhere. We stay there for a
moment. After that I decide to wait at gate 5. At 3 pm Kopites who have ticket
category five (sector 9-11) were stand form a line. And Mbay go with his
friends while waiting Aya, wiwid, and soon.
When I am waiting I see Paul
Cumming but I don’t realize it coz I don’t know him. Poor me so poor me. Ok,
finally I got the gate I came in GBK. I was looking for good view. I sit to a
nicety where the player will take corner kick. Actually it is not good enough
as the distance between tribunes with the field is not near as the stadium at
Europe. VVIP class absolutely will more comfort hohoho lol. But the sensation
is I can sing louder with all Kopites. I can scream my Gerro’s name. I am
really feel the sensation how watch football match straightly. (For me it’s also the first time. The first
time I go to Jakarta by myself. The first time I watch football match in the
stadium. The first time I stay far with mom without worry. The first time I can
go outside in the night. The first time I meet up LI’s admin. And then it is
the first time I stay at Aya’s sist in law home. Thanks Mbay, thanks Aya, and
thank you kak Zayong {}..)
Furthermore, a minute later after I
get in. Time for break the fasting came, alhamdulliah. I am salute of you guys.
You can fast fully. You can control yourself. Even though you are fasting but
your spirit is amazing. Hell yeah..!
We were waiting impatiently. We
want our Liverpool play soon. So we called player s’ names and sing Liverpool’s
chants (and dedicated chants for players even we sung Horto Magiko). We didn't
sung for 90 minutes but we already sung two hour before kick off. We sung guys
we just sung without trumpets!
When all players come to the field.
All Kopites begun singing our anthem You’ll Never Walk Alone. Did you know? How
my feeling was? The atmosphere made my flesh creep. Yes, I was crying that day.
Tears of joy. I am so glad. My dream came true. Alhamdullihah Allah, Your’s
plan is so beautiful. That’s really
really frightened. I am as Liverpool fan still unbelief how amazing we were. I
am totally proud being Liverpool fan and always will be. I am one of lucky
Kopites who witnessed Liverpool played at Indonesia’s national stadium (GBK)
for the first time. That was really incredible moment when we sing along made
GBK like Anfield stadium. We made movement like waves which were rockin’ round
stadium. We played with our scarf, pyro (flammable stuffs), flares and smoke
bombs and we called our idol as loud as we can. Gerrard Gerrard Gerrard Gerrard
Gerrard!!!! A minute my voice lost hahah. Then I sung again, record the
wonderful atmosphere, and I was often screaming coz that fucking beauty day.
One more after the match was over. We
didn't move. We stay in the stadium for a moment. We like won't back home. We
want stay at saw my Liverpool longer. And then the learn that i took from
Kopites is we don’t know each other but we stick like a family, so warm, humble, and solid. We are Reds!
That is
unforgettable moment forever ever ever more. That’s the best moment that I have
been through in my life. I wanna redoing that awesome moment. I wish in the
2015 pre season tour, Liverpool will come again. I will buy VVIP ticket! hah it
is in order to I make able to take picture with LFC’s players and get their
autograph! I wanna come to airport and
stay in the same hotel also. The point is I wanna redoing the things that I
can’t do before. I wanna stay closer and wanna can talking to with them.
Yeaaayyhhh!!
Ooooooo Liverpool come again
please…… we do love you!!!
