SEAToday.com, Jakarta - Gelandang Timnas Indonesia, Eliano Reijnders, bertekad membawa Indonesia lolos ke Piala Dunia 2026. Hal ini ia ungkapkan untuk memenuhi harapan sang kakak, Tijjani Reijnders, yang membela Timnas Belanda.

"Dia (Tijjani) memberitahu saya, hei, pergi ke Piala Dunia, mungkin kita bisa bermain dengan satu sama lain, dengan Belanda dan Indonesia. Jadi, ya, saya berharap kita bisa lolos kualifikasi untuk Piala Dunia," kata Eliano dalam Media Day di Hotel Fairmont, Jakarta, Selasa (12/11).

Eliano dan Tijjani menjadi saudara kandung yang membela negara berbeda. Fenomena ini juga terjadi pada beberapa pesepakbola dunia seperti Inaki Williams (Ghana) dan Nico Williams (Spanyol).

Sebelumnya, Tijjani juga mendukung penuh keputusan Eliano untuk membela Timnas Indonesia. "Pertama, ya, tentu saja saya berbicara dengan dia, untuk keputusan saya untuk bermain untuk Indonesia. Dia bilang, ya, jika kamu ingin melakukannya, lakukannya, karena itu negara yang indah," ujar pemain PEC Zwolle itu.

Eliano mengaku tak sabar melakoni debut di SUGBK saat Indonesia menghadapi Jepang pada laga putaran ketiga kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026 zona Asia Grup C, Jumat (15/11). "Ya, saya tidak bisa menunggu, karena itu stadion yang besar," ucapnya.
