tvOnenews.com – News circulated that Jay Idzes’ naturalization was not based on the recommendation of the Indonesian national team coach, Shin Tae-yong.
This news circulated because the Indonesian National Team’s defense line was already filled with naturalized and high-quality players.
These include Jordi Amat, Elkan Baggott, Sandy Walsh, Shayne Pattynama, and local talents such as Rizky Ridho and Muhammad Ferrari.
PSSI General Chair Erick Thohir himself did not provide explicit information regarding the person who recommended the 23 year old player to be naturalized.
“PSSI General Chairman (his network) is not bad, so yes we have a good network,” said Erick at the Madya Stadium, Jakarta, Friday (8/9/2023).
“But the Ministry of Youth and Sports has scouting, coach Shin (Tae-yong) has it, yes, it’s good, you’re welcome. Sometimes there are also things that are not visible, because there is a lot of data everywhere, this is synergy,” he added.
