My Take
I have a soft spot for Bambang Pamungkas, the striker Indonesians know simply as Bepe. Born in Semarang and standing only 170cm, he was never built to overpower defences, yet he scored relentlessly for Persija Jakarta and the national team across a long career. Southeast Asian football rarely gets discussed seriously elsewhere, but the burden of being your country's talisman is the same everywhere, and he carried it for years. His move into coaching, and his continued public presence through his own site, show a player invested in passing the game on. A forward who scores on instinct and heart, not size, is exactly my type.
Overview
Bambang Pamungkas (born 10 June 1980) is an Indonesian football manager and former player. As a footballer, he predominantly played for Persija Jakarta and the Indonesia national football team. His natural position is striker.
