According to him, the superiors and leaders of the National Police continue to motivate Polri personnel who are athletes to excel, thus bringing the name of the Bhayangkara Corps closer to the community.
“From the Police agency, they support our expertise as well as in sports and anywhere, the Police agency can be closer to the community,” said the player with the jersey number 22.
“The commanders also encourage us too, because carrying the name of the agency also in sports in Indonesian soccer is quite a lot, from the commanders a lot of support is more motivated,” said Dendy.
Dendy, who currently serves in the Lamongan Police HR, is also proud that the National Police can contribute to the Indonesian National Team.
Since his debut in the senior national team in 2022 until now, Dendy has appeared 11 times and scored four goals. Becoming a member of the Indonesian national team has been his dream since childhood.
“I am proud because of my dreams from childhood, especially now that I am a member of the National Police, so I am double proud, on the other hand I can make my parents and the National Police agency proud,” concluded Dendy.
Reporting from the Wikipedia page, the 176 cm man made his first appearance for the Indonesian Senior National Team in a friendly match against Curacao on September 24, 2022, by scoring the first goal for Indonesia in a 2-1 victory over Curacao.
