Beijing time on June 1, Beijing time, according to Southeast Asian media, Indonesian Football Association and head coach Shentailong both said that there were problems in the naturalization of three players, including Yordie Amat. Nowadays, the possibility that these three people can play for the Indonesian team is no more than 50%.
As Chinese team withdrew from the 2023 Asian Cup host position, Indonesian wants to become the host and get outstanding results in this competition. In addition, they have ideas about qualifications for the next World Cup.
If there were no such naturalized players, these might just be the dream of the Korean head coach Shin Tailong.
Since National Football Team began to introduce naturalized players on a large scale, Southeast Asian teams have followed suit and followed suit.
Among them, Vietnam is mainly composed of tall goalkeepers. Thailand mainly uses young players of Thai descent, while the Philippines mainly uses European-born players. Indonesia, however, is always there. Before
, they had naturalized defender Croque who had played in the Indonesian league for 5 years, and the black young player Ronaldo- Kuwait , born in Indonesia.
However, relying solely on these players is not enough to bring Indonesia to the stage of the World Cup.
They turned their attention to Jordi Amat from Barcelona youth training, Gent youth training, and Dutch young player Patilama.
But before the friendly match with Bangladesh, Shin Tailong said that these three people represented Indonesia in Asian competitions and all had difficulties, and it was not rumored that the outside world had already won.
Many people don’t know that naturalization and representing the team in Asian competitions are not the same thing. The former is not difficult, but the latter requires the affirmation and proof letter of FIFA and AFC . The three people of
are the problems with the latter.
html Amat was selected for the Spanish National Youth Team in 192. He has played for Espanyol and Swansea . He is a defender. Walsh once rejected the Belgian national youth and turned to the Dutch national youth, who is also a defender. Patilama did not find his so-called Indonesian relatives, who could play as a midfielder and full-back.
Unlike other Asian countries that accumulate naturalized frontcourts, Indonesia wants to introduce them all backcourt players. In addition to these three, they also invited goalkeeper Odero from Sampdoria . The Italian goalkeeper is still hesitating.
If these players join together, Indonesia can form a complete European-born tall defense line. Even if you encounter the strongest teams in Asia such as Iran, Japan, Saudi , South Korea, etc., the team will not concede many goals.
And the Indonesian team's goal is to enter the 2026 World Cup.
They are striving for the host qualification of the 2023 Asian Cup, just like after Vietnam gave up the 2018 Asian Games , the Asian Organizing Committee asked Indonesia to take over.
At the same time, they are also actively holding Asian youth competitions and Asian Champions League competitions. And these can give Indonesian players more opportunities to play.
Indonesian players who are known to be naturalized and qualified for Asian competitions include Elkan, who is Ipswich's youth training, Kroc, who was born in the Indonesian Premier League for five years, forward Suleiman, who plays in Europe, and 17-year-old young player K Ronaldo.
In the just-concluded U23 Asian Cup, Indonesia performed poorly and failed to enter the finals. It also lost 0-3 to the host Vietnam team. The path of naturalized players doesn't seem very reliable.
