The latest news came from the U-17 Indonesian National Team training camp. Adapted from the page suara.com (22/7/2023) the coaching team crossed out four diaspora players who were previously called up in 34 names for training camp.
They are Aaron Nathan Ang from FC Nottingen who plays as a goalkeeper, then Mahesa Ekayanto from FC Dordecht in the center back position, Staffan Horito from Sant Cugat who plays at left back and Madrid Augusta from AFC Alkmaar who plays in the central midfield position.
The elimination of the four diaspora players was of course very surprising to some circles, because unexpectedly, the players who had diaspora labels had to be eliminated in the early stages of the selection.
If you look in the mirror at this write-off, there is at least one name that we can understand about his dropping out, namely Aaron Nathan Ang, who is in the goalkeeper position and is currently pursuing a career at FC Nottingen.
Copied from the site suara.com (18/7/2023), the 48-year-old coach once stated that one of the requirements for filling the goalkeeper position in the U-17 Indonesian National Team was to have a minimum height of 180 cm.

Thus, Aaron Nathan Ang’s elimination is still quite reasonable, because in the available data, this player has a height of 179 cm, less than what is required by the Milky Way.
But unfortunately, Aaron’s removal also brought a big question. If the player’s height is being disputed by coach Bima, then in fact there are still players in the goalkeeper position who are less than 180 cm tall, namely Andrika Fathir. Of course this is a polemic in itself and still leaves a big question related to the deletion.
But whatever has been decided, of course Bima Sakti and the coaching staff have much more reasonable reasons. Because after all, they have their own views and visions in forming the U-17 Indonesian National Team squad which is projected for the U-17 World Cup later.
Then, what do you think is the reason behind writing off these players?
