STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT-Jakarta. U-22 Indonesia’s national soccer team Will participate in SEA Games in Kamboja next one and half month again. In many SEA Games occation, our national team has always under the output of main rival especially Vietnam and Thailand. But in SEA Games, just only player who are under 22 years old can play. At this age, Indonesia has players more talented than Vietnam if we quote Vietnam”s coach Phillipe Troussier. But Troussier’s statement may just only propaganda which is aimed to make Indonesia does not enough preparation
Because of that, PSSI had chosen Indra Sjafrie as head coach of U22 national soccer team. Those framework of team is running selection at two steps before Indra Sjafrie Will chose the player who are able to make Indonesia be champion at next SEA Games soccer arena
Indra Sjafrie has plan to make friendly match with BRI Liga-1 team. Maybe Indra Sjafrie Will choose RANS Nusantara, Barito Putra, Persija, Persib and PSM Makassar as their sparing partner.
It is more interesting if U 22 national team Will face Liga-1 BRI selection team and coach Bernardo Tavares, Luis Milla Aspas and Thomas Doll can be choosed as head coach.
On the writer observation, many BRI Liga 1 can be selected such as Tedja Pakualam/Persib, Resya/PSM Makassar and Muhammad Ridho/Bali United as goal keeper. Dodi Alex Vantjin/Madura United, Altaballah/Persebaya, Bagas Kahfi/Barito Putra, Cleberson/Madura United, Hugo Lelis/Persebaya, Renan Alves/Barito Putra, Ondrej Kudela/Persija, Jamie Xavier/Persis Solo, Yuran Fernandez/PSM Makassar, Nick Kuipers/Persib, Firza Andika/Persija, Kadek Arel, Ricky Fajrin, Ruben Sanadi, Taisei Marukawa, Renan Silva, Wiljan Pluim, Cirro Alves, Alfeandra Dewangga, Mathias Pato, Lulinha, Eber Bessa, Privat Braga, David ada Silva, Hambra Hehanussa, and Ilija Spasojevic. They can give U-22 national soccer team many experience. We can see and try it. Hopefully.
