JAKARTA - The U-17 Indonesian national team coach, Bima Sakti stated, had seen the performances of several diaspora players previously presented by the Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora), Dito Ariotedjo. He saw their appearance from the video.
Call it Gabriel Han Wilhoft-King, who is currently working at Tottenham Hotspur. In addition, he has also seen a video of Igor Sanders' game, who is a player in the PSV Eindhoven junior team.
Bima admitted that he had communicated with their parents. However, he emphasized that the players still had to go through the selection process before being selected to appear in the U-17 World Cup.
"Gabriel at Tottenham has played in the England U-16 national team against Turkey. I've seen, how many passes, he has quality. But still, I made the same rules, nothing special, they will also be selected like others," said Bima, as reported by Antara, Thursday, July 20.
Bima admitted that he would call a number of diaspora players to strengthen the teams competing in the U-17 World Cup in November.
Currently, there are six diaspora players or Indonesian descendants. However, Bima still opens up opportunities to bring in other descendants, or write off descendants who have entered the team at this time.

"Later we will communicate with his parents first, we ask for a video. It is impossible to move to one country to another," said Bima.
"We want to see the video, it must be observed as needed by us, and the quality is really above the players here," he continued, after leading the U-17 national team training in the Gelora Bung Karno area, Jakarta.
After completing the selection, Bima planned that his team could conduct a trial exercise with the Barcelona team and the Japanese national team in Bali in early August. After that, the U-17 national team will be brought to Germany in September, to undergo a training camp there, as well as an agenda for playing against several junior teams of the German League.
"They (the team from Germany) plan to arrange and arrange as long as we are there. Yes, maybe we will fight the German League teams there, who are the same age as them (the U-27 national team players)," he said.
