JAKARTA - A surprising decision was made by the Indonesian national team coach, Shin Tae-yong. The man from South Korea summoned Jack Brown to join the Indonesian U-19 national team training camp (TC) in Jakarta.

Even though Jack had previously wanted to return to England because he had not received a summons after previously being dropped during TC in Cikarang, January 2020. Jack, who was already in Dubai, then returned to Indonesia to fulfill the call for the national team.

Shin admitted that he had seen Jack's game during TC in Cikarang. However, according to him, the player did not have sufficient time to adapt to the conditions in Indonesia at that time.

Even though Jack's condition was not optimal, Shin still forced the player to eat the same training menu as the others. For this reason, the former coach of the South Korean national team wants to revisit the ability of the Lincoln U-18 player.

"Indeed we have seen it in Cikarang. However, at that time Jack Brown did not have much time to adapt," said Shin Tae-yong to a number of media.

"Before the training camp abroad, I want to see his ability again. I did ask him to come, so let me see again," he added.

The U-19 national team does have a program to undergo training camps in South Korea. Apart from training, the team will also conduct a series of trials. This is in preparation for the team ahead of the AFC U-19 Cup in October and the 2021 U-20 World Cup.
