INSIGHT HARBOR

 Indonesian soccer has made history once again. Several naturalized players and players of Indonesian descent have made it into major European leagues. Their presence is not only a source of pride, but also proof that Indonesian talent can compete at the highest level. Here is a list of names that are currently in the spotlight.

Kevin Diks to Borussia Mönchengladbach

Meanwhile, Kevin Diks has chosen to continue his career in Germany. After his contract with FC Copenhagen ended, the right-back joined Borussia Mönchengladbach on a free transfer in July 2024. This transfer makes Diks the latest Indonesian-descent player competing in the Bundesliga.

Jay Idzes to Sassuolo

Jay Idzes officially joined Sassuolo in the 2024 summer transfer window. This formidable defender previously played for Venezia and performed consistently in Serie B. Now, he has the opportunity to prove his quality in Serie A, Italy's top league, which is known for being tough and competitive.

Calvin Verdonk to Lille 

From the Netherlands, Calvin Verdonk is stepping up to a bigger stage. He officially moved from NEC Nijmegen to LOSC Lille in the summer of 2024 for a transfer fee of around €3 million. This naturalized Indonesian national team left-back will now face new challenges in France's Ligue 1, one of Europe's most prestigious competitions.

Emil Audero to Como, then loaned to Cremonese

Emil Audero's name is also making waves. The goalkeeper, born in Mataram, was officially signed by Como from Sampdoria in July 2024 on a four-year contract. However, to secure more playing time, Como loaned him to Cremonese in July 2025. His presence strengthens the Serie A club's goalkeeping position while also extending the list of Indonesian-born players in Italy.

The moves of Jay Idzes, Emil Audero, Calvin Verdonk, and Kevin Diks to major European clubs demonstrate that naturalized players and those of Indonesian descent are increasingly being recognized. Their journeys in Europe's top leagues not only inspire young footballers in Indonesia but also bring pride to all Indonesian football fans.

INSIGHT HARBOR

Wow... Sahipsizler or (Azizah: cinta 6 hati) released on November 13 2024, is one of those series with a synopsis that doesn't really appeal to me. It combines family issues with infidelity and romance. Why is that? Because when I watched it, I felt bored, and my mind got confused when the three elements were mixed together, and the plot was usually predictable. But that’s the story when I’m watching an Indonesian film.

This is different; it's a foreign film (Turkish) with a plot that's hard to predict. And I think foreign cinema is more advanced than Indonesian cinema in this genre. Two things that always intrigue me are the very interesting plot and the constant suspense. Some other things that make this film interesting to watch are that it combines many genres, such as action, romance, family, and historical. This combination makes the drama feel more “alive” and less monotonous. Each episode seems to bring new surprises, making it difficult for viewers to stop watching.

Telling a heartwarming and resilient story, Azizah: Cinta 6 Hati follows the struggles of six siblings—Azize, Cemo, Zeliha, Fidan, Samet, and Balim—who suddenly lose both their parents in a horrific tragedy. Left orphaned at a young age, the six children must survive and stay united amidst the harshness of Istanbul. That is the initial summary of the story, but there is much more excitement to be shared.

For me, Sahipsizler is a drama that’s hard to miss because it always delivers surprises in every episode. Even though it’s only up to 61 episodes across two seasons and is still ongoing, i feel like this story truly leaves a deep emotional impact. Honestly, watching it feels like living alongside the characters themselves.

THE NEXT LEVEL!!
