His name suddenly soared after being able to play in Europe and
getting a starting place in a European giant, PSV Eindhoven. Rigan is
now in the club's B team, and should be proud for being the only Asian
in the whole PSV squad.

"Rigan has amazing skills and potential. His ability to read the play,
his technique, and his skills and really good. Besides that, his
parents' support are enormous. I'm very impressed," said Ronny
Pattinasarani, his coach at SSB (football School) AS-IOP.

Rigan's road to success was fulfilled after so many sacrifices by his
father. David Pono. He not only sold most of his possessions to
support Rigan's career ever since he was seven, but he was also there
every time Rigan played football. Pono's totality was answered by
Rigan when Rigan decided to quit high school (10th grade) to play
professional football.

Rigan said, "Everywhere I played, Da always took me and waited for me
patiently. He even gave me inputs on my performance now and then."

At the beginning, Pono's ambition to make Rigan a successfull
professional football player was not fully accepted by the son. No
wonder, arguments often happened between the two. But not until Rigan
arrive in Holland that he realized the truth behind his dad's words.
"To achieve success, one must possess the mental strength steel.
That's what I always instill in him," said Pono.

When he was playing in Indonesia, Rigan was well-known for his temper.
Quite a few times he was involved in fights on the pitch. "Once, I
almost died because I was stepped on and gang-banged on by other
players. Another occasion, I was almost stabbed because I was fighting
on the pitch. Dad was also hit a by board when he was trying to save
me," Rigan revealed.

"I used to always worry about Rigan's going to matches. If I remember
all those things, I'd never dream of him to ever play in Holland,"
said his mother, Sri Eliyani.

The lack temper control was admitted by Rigan as his weakness. But
now, he's more able to control his emotion. "If I got mad, I channeled
that emotion to play harder. Because I'd rather holding back my
emotion than getting banned from playing," said the oldest child of
ten siblings.

Any thought of playing for the Indonesian junior national team?
"Honestly, no, not yet. Father and all my family members have
sacrificed everything to support me, For now, I will play and do my
best to pay them back," Rigan said honestly.
