No, I highly believe Adhi made the wrong decision during the starting of the story as he was staying up late, evading him to wake up early and go training. Additionally, his ego to rely on natural talent over hard work nearly made the opportunity look far fetched which once was likely to fall on his lap.

firstable Adhi was making wrong decisions believing that his talent is good enough to make the team. at the end he understood he had to change his habits if he wants to get his dreams.
Natural talent is important but whitout hard work and discipline is imposible to go far in football.

I think that Adhi made the right desicion because a good lesson learned, learned to work hard to reach your goal.
Adhi paid off in the end because it would go to Australia thanks to headhunters.
I think it's better to work hard to have the natural talent.
