Aliff said on Instagram that while he noticed poking fun at him for looking like the football player, he said that he understands that fans just want to release stress and needed some entertainment.
He said that the past two days, many have messaged and asked him about his lookalike.
“How can I be Turkish when I have Javanese roots?
“I can’t even properly play football too.
“But in terms of the handsome scale, we’re both quite good looking,” he said.
Aliff then asked fans to get their opinions on whether they both actually look alike and most said yes.
“The nose, eyes and mouth of both of them are similar,” one fan wrote.
“I didn’t know Aliff Syukri played for Istanbul,” joked another user.
