Waiting for Marselino Ferdinan’s debut in the Oxford United vs Cardiff City match tonight

Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – Marselino Ferdinan has the potential to make his debut in the Oxford United vs Cardiff City match in the 2024/2025 English League 2 at the Kassam Stadium, Oxford, Thursday (26/12/2024) starting at 22.00 WIB.

Marselino Ferdinan returned to England last weekend after failing to bring the Indonesian national team to the semifinals of the 2024 AFF Cup, because they lost 0-1 to the Philippines in group B at the Manahan Stadium, Solo, Central Java, Saturday (21/12/2024).

Marselino Ferdinand failed to score and assists in the three matches he played in the 2024 AFF Cup. The 20-year-old midfielder from Jakarta even received a red card during the Indonesia versus Laos match which ended with a score of 3-3.

Marselino Ferdinan has now rejoined Oxford United. He has the potential to enter starting eleven Oxford United vs Cardiff City.

Oxford United coach Gary Rowett will put together the best squad in his first match against Cardiff City after being appointed to coach the club owned by Indonesian businessmen Erick Thohir and Anindya Bakrie last week. He wants to get full points in this match.

“We will be very organized when we lose the ball. We will press at the right time and try to be more aggressive when the opportunity comes, and try to put pressure on the opponent. We will work very hard to keep that going in the match,” said Gary ahead of the Oxford United vs Cardiff City match.

“When we have the ball, we want to control the game. I care more about creating chances, having opportunities and getting shots on goal. Sometimes you have to play forward with quality and precision more quickly when space is there. We’ll see how that goes in the game first,” continued Gary, quoted from Oxford United’s official website.

Cardiff City is one place above Oxford in the English League 2 standings. Cardiff have not won an away game since April 2024 and are determined to turn things around at Oxford United.

“The only thing we can do now is try to win the game, and we will bring the same approach to the game against Oxford,” said Cardiff City coach Omer Riza.
