The last time he played for the national team was at the SEA Games in March 2017 under coach Luis Milla. Waiting for more than 4 years, finally he can return to defend the Red and White banner and get a chance from coach Shin Tae-yong.
“Today we practiced basic things like recovery, stretching. This is my first time meeting him (Shin Tae-yong) and he looks very good,” said the Ajax academy dropout about his first impression of Shin Tae-yong.
Ezra Walian also included in the squad projection for the AFF Cup
Ezra will fly to Turkey for a training camp and face two test matches against Afghanistan and Myanmar. He is also included in the projected squad that will be taken to the AFF Cup next month.
“It’s great, like I said, I’m happy to be here, enjoying every moment. So my first impression was very pleasant,” he said again, as quoted by Football5star from PSSI’s youtube.
In addition to Ezra Walian, another descendant of players who is scheduled to attend the training camp in Turkey is Elkan Baggott. The defender from Ispwich Town has finally returned after being considered to have ignored the national team call.
