  • Riko Simanjuntak merupakan salah satu winger terbaik di Indonesia saat ini.
  • Namun Riko Simanjuntak justru mengawali karier sepak bola sebagai gelandang bertahan.
  • Posisi gelandang bertahan diperankan Riko Simanjuntak saat masih memperkuat tim SSB.

SKOR.id - Siapa sangka, sebelum menjadi salah satu winger terbaik di Liga Indonesia, Riko Simanjuntak mengawali karier sepak bolanya di posisi lain.

Pemain asal Pematang Siantar tersebut, sejatinya memulai karier di lapangan hijau sebagai pemain gelandang bertahan. Posisi yang identik dengan pemain yang mendapat julukan "Si Pengangkut Air".

Posisi itu dimainkan Riko saat masih memperkuat tim Sekolah Sepak bola (SSB)-nya beberapa tahun silam.

Ada alasan tersendiri kenapa pelatih SSB-nya memainkan Riko Simanjuntak sebagai gelandang bertahan.

"Waktu saya di Siantar, saya di SSB Harapan Jaya dan Bintang Muda bermain di posisi gelandang bertahan. Kecepatan yang saya miliki bermanfaat untuk menahan laju serangan lawan," ujar Riko.

Seperti diketahui, seiring berjalannya waktu, Riko Simanjuntak dikenal sebagai salah satu pemain sayap terbaik Indonesia saat ini.

Kecepatan dan akurasi umpan menjadi kelebihan pemain Persija Jakarta bernomor punggung 25 ini.

Bahkan berkat kelebihannya tersebut, Riko masuk dalam Best XI versi AFF tahun 2019.
Di Persija Jakarta, Riko memang belum pernah ditugaskan sebagai pemain bertahan.

Selain bermain di sektor sayap, Riko hanya pernah ditugaskan sebagai gelandang serang untuk mengatur serangan saat Persija dilatih oleh pelatih asal Spanyol, Julio Banuelos Saez.

Namun dalam permainan, ia juga tak jarang untuk membantu pertahanan saat dibutuhkan tim.
