JAKARTA - The feud between the Indonesian national team coach, Shin Tae-yong, and Persija Jakarta boss, Thomas Doll, has entered a new chapter. STY firmly refused to apologize to Doll who called him aower.
The South Korean coach emphasized that he could not remain silent if someone had a personal problem with his figure.
According to Shin, the attitude of badmouthing others in front of the media cannot be justified. Plus, the statement came from the club coach for the national team coach.
Therefore, Thomas Doll's apology to Shin was conveyed a day after the designation of a▁motif could not be accepted.
"Honestly, I can't help you because such behavior is wrong," said Shin after leading his squad's training at Field A Gelora Bung Karno, Jakarta, Wednesday, February 15.
"I was made like a bad person and not good in front of the media, after that I apologized. What if it happened the other way around," he continued.
Thomas Doll made the mention of a▁motif for Shin Tae-yong on Saturday, February 11, when criticizing Shin who was not present at the virtual meeting between Persija and the Indonesian national team, a few days earlier.
Shin's decision to send assistant coach Nova Arianto to represent him angered Thomas Doll because in Persija camp he and all the coaching staff participated in the discussion.
Persija memang merupakan klub yang pemainnya paling banyak dianggil Shin untuk TC timnas U-20 yaitu sembilan orang.
The TC, which is the preparation for the 2023 U-20 Asian Cup, will take place on February 1-28, 2023 in Jakarta.
Thomas Doll's anxiety continues to be called a▁motif for Shin because the South Korean coach is starring in food advertisements in Indonesia.
"For me he is more like animous than a coach. That should not be done by a national team coach. I've never seen a coach do anything like that," said Doll at the time.
Thomas Doll himself apologized publicly to Shin Tae-yong last Sunday.
