August 11th In an interview with Dutch National Radio, Indonesian naturalized player Eustin Hubna said that when he was in Indonesia, he felt like he was Ronaldo.

"I'm really the superstar there. You can't walk there as usual, you feel like Cristiano Ronaldo."

"Sometimes I can't believe it myself. I feel like I'm just an ordinary young man playing football, but they (referring to Asian fans) have completely different views. You'll see people crying and chasing you because they want to take a photo with you."

"And at the end I'll think: Wow, this really happened. To get such a status in Europe, you have to be a big star in the Premier League. It's really crazy."

"In Europe, my status is far less high than in Asia. In the Netherlands, I still need to prove everything. So I have to play as many games as possible. I'm looking forward to it. I've been silent for too long. That's what I like to do the most."

Despite being regarded as a world-class superstar, Hubner also revealed that some people don't like him. "Those posters, fans and grand events are really good, but I've also received a lot of negative comments online. I've received the craziest attacks. I've received death threats a lot. It's not normal, but I just try to face it. I'm fine. Most of the reactions are positive, and that's the focus of my attention," Hubner said.
