Football5Star.com, Indonesia – The presence of lineage players at the back can help the Indonesian national team balance the Middle East team. The high posture of these players can be relied on when the balls are over.

As is known, PSSI is currently processing three players of Indonesian descent in order to strengthen the Garuda squad. They are Jordi Amat, Sandy Walsh, and Shayne Pattynama. The first two names of the documents are already in the hands of the government, while Pattynama is still being processed by PSSI.
If the three players can finish the process soon, it is certainly hoped that they will be able to participate in defending the Indonesian national team in the 2023 Asian Cup qualifiers. Moreover, Indonesia will face Middle Eastern teams, such as Kuwait and Jordan plus Nepal.

“If it’s good at the back, there’s Sandy Walsh, Elkan Baggott, Jordi Amat, there’s Shayne Patinama, meeting the Arab team, competing for a high-balanced ball, staying up front playing with the Shin Tae-yong scheme,” said a member of the Executive Committee (Exco) PSSI, Hasani Abdulgani quoted from the GAN CHANNEL YouTube channel.
The Descendants of the Local Players
The presence of Indonesian blooded players, of course, will not erode local players. For example in the position of Sandy Walsh and Shayne Pattynama. Actually there is also Asnawi Mangkualam and Pratama Arhan.

“About Primary Arhan and Asnawi, Pattynama and Sandy Walsh can switch as defensive midfielders, just look at the opponent,” concluded Hasani.
