STY's Spicy Satire For Egy Maulana Who Plays Defending Dewa United Against Persib Bandung

JAKARTA - The coach of the Indonesian national team, Shin Tae-yong, was reluctant to comment on the condition of Egy Maulana Vikri, who had previously not been in the squad because he was claimed to have suffered an injury.

Shin only gave a statement that was allegedly a satire for Egy Maulana. The reason is, Egy was caught playing for Dewa United in Liga 1.

Egy appeared for 20 minutes. He came down as a substitute for Theofillo Numberi in the 70th minute.

"Honestly, I can't say anything. However, I hope the national team players must focus on the Garuda symbol," Shin said after his first training at the PTIK Stadium, Monday, March 20.

"The point is to know, to be aware, what the Garuda symbol really means," continued the South Korean coach.

Shin himself has called Stefano Lilipaly to replace Egy. According to Shin, Lilipaly's summons was based on the player's performance in the league.

"So if the players are good in the league, they will definitely be elected, and I will always be open. So to increase the ranking of FIFA and the achievements of the national team, I am always open," he said.

"So I hope all Indonesian players show the best in the league," continued the 52-year-old man.

However, it seems that Egy's name will not be Shin Tae-yong's choice. The coach admitted that he would not call the former Lechia Gdanks player in the near future.
