Kevin Diks 'Threatens' PSSI, Observer: Just Ignore It
JAKARTA - The Danish League club player, AGF, on loan from Fiorentina, Kevin Diks, claims he is ready to defend the Indonesian national team. In fact, he is waiting for a call from the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI). He will not refuse if the offer comes.
In fact, Diks was a little 'threatening' PSSI. He asked the Indonesian soccer parent to move quickly. The reason is, he cannot guarantee that he will be able to defend the Indonesian national team in the future.
Many Indonesian supporters asked PSSI to immediately establish communication with Diks. Understandably, supporters of the national team are dazzled by the track record of the 23-year-old player in Europe.
However, this is not the case with national football observer, Anton Sanjoyo. He considered, PSSI did not need to worry about the statement from the player from Ambon.
"I think PSSI's attitude is natural because the concentration with players who are clearly available. No need to take Kevin's statement too seriously," said the man who is familiarly called Joy to VOI, Wednesday, September 16.
"Just ignore it. Indonesia has many talents. Just focus on the available players," he continued.
Anton admitted, calling players of descent like Diks is definitely better than naturalizing players whose origins are unclear. However, he judged there was something better than that.
Joy asked PSSI to continue to prioritize players in Indonesia. It's even called priority.
"It's not a matter of authenticity or not. Players who are available in domestic competitions are much easier to handle," he said.
