BANDUNG - Two candidates for naturalization, Jordi Amat and Sandy Walsh, have started to join the training with the Indonesian national team. The two of them were seen training with the Garuda Squad at Sidolig Field, Bandung, Sunday, May 29.

Their presence received a positive response from other Indonesian national team players. One of them is Marc Klok.

According to the naturalized player from the Netherlands, in addition to having good skills, Jordi and Sandy also have career experience in Europe which is valuable for the Indonesian national team.

"Their quality is good. I'm glad they joined us," said Klok as quoted by Antara.

Meanwhile, the coach of the Indonesian national team, Shin Tae-yong, said that the two candidates for naturalization still needed time to show their maximum performance. Understandably, both are said to have been out of practice for a long time.

"For Jordi, he has just returned to training after about five weeks of rest. Jordi looks very tired. It takes a week or 10 more days of training to get him back in shape," said Shin.

"Sandy is still in rehab training, but his progress is very good. Soon he will be back in the team and training normally," he continued.

Sandy Walsh is known to have just undergone surgery to heal the collarbone fracture he suffered.

It should be noted that Sandy and Jordi have completed several naturalization agendas in Jakarta some time ago. Among them are taking care of several matters at the embassy of their home country in Indonesia, conducting medical tests and participating in closed interviews with the State Intelligence Agency (BIN).

Although the two players are not yet legally Indonesian citizens, Shin invited them to join the Indonesian national team training in Bandung to adapt to the team.
