JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team coach, Shin Tae-yong, has determined 30 U-19 national team players who will take part in the training camp in Croatia, at the end of August 2020. However, then a polemic arises over the name being crossed out.
Muhammad Fajar Fatur Rahman was among those not brought by Shin to Croatia. This is somewhat surprising. The reason is, this player from Papua is a mainstay of the Indonesian U-19 national team when Fakhri Husaini still holds him.
In fact, this one player became Indonesia's top scorer during the U-19 Asian Cup Qualification. Fajar scored three goals in the event. Naturally, this player is believed to win Shin Tae-yong's heart.
However, the prediction did not come true. Dawn was crossed out. Previously, Sutan Zico, who was also unable to attract Shin Tae-yong's heart. Many regretted this. However, the South Korean coach has his own considerations.
"Maybe the two of them are not just coach Shin's taste, it doesn't mean they are not good," said national football observer, Rais Adnan, to VOI, Thursday, August 27.
Rais assessed that the former South Korean national team coach chose players who are strong and have mobility. Posture is also quite a concern. It seems that the two players are considered not meeting any of these criteria.
"Zico stylish is the number 9 type. When you get the ball in the box it can be dangerous. About speed is indeed lacking," said the editor in chief of one of the sports media.
"Fajar has high mobility, especially when combing from the wing," he added.
He then commented on the selection of Jack Brown. The name of this Lincoln City player is a surprise because he always failed before. According to him, Shin Tae-yong was still curious about Jack's figure.
"Maybe the posture and the game are suitable, and Jack Brown is more developed than before," he concluded.
