Meet BambangPamungkas
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
BambangPamungkas left from the bus. When, we wanted
to get close to BambangPamungkas, a security guard was
familiar. He was my old friend, Budi. After that, he let me
in. Finally, I could meet BambangPamungkas 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.
