Meet Bambang Pamungkas
On Friday, there was a football match
between Indonesia and Japan. It held on Gelora Bung Karno Stadium. I went to
Gelra Bung Karno Stadium with my friend, Jono.
Before entering Gelora Bung Karno Stadium,
we looked the bus that took Indonesian football players. Then, we followed
that bus to main entrance. I found that Bambang Pamungkas left from the bus.
When, we wanted to get close to Bambang Pamungkas, a security guard was
familiar. He was my old friend, Budi. After that, he let me in. Finally, I
could meet Bambang Pamungkas and got his signature.
Next, I went back to my seat at the
Stadium and the match just began. It was an amazing day and good match.
