JAKARTA - The coach of the Indonesian national team, Shin Tae-yong, did not include Nadeo Argawinata as a goalkeeper who was brought to Turkey for a training camp (TC). The decision not to bring Nadeo turned out to reap scathing criticism from the boss of Borneo FC, Nabil Husein.

Shin Tae-yong is known to prefer to bring Syahrul Trisna over Nadeo for TC ahead of the 2023 Asian Cup. The coach's reason is because he thinks Syahrul can appear calm on the field.

Syahrul is a very calm player during matches. Yesterday he often competed with Nadeo. Sometimes he plays, sometimes Nadeo."

"However, when Syahrul played, the possibility of conceding was getting smaller," said Shin Tae-yong in his statement when met in the Central Jakarta area on Tuesday, December 19, 2023, before leaving for Turkey.

Shin Tae-yong's statement was then widely quoted and used as fragments on social media. Nabil even uploaded it on a personal account on Wednesday, December 20, 2023.

Nabil re-uploaded similar quotes by embedding comments. The Borneo FC boss seemed to give a scathing flick of seeing his player, Nadeo Argawinata, not on the list.

Nabil commented on Shin Tae-yong's statement about why not bringing Nadeo was a funny thing. He then quipped that the coach should focus on his career in order to get a contract extension.

Funny things are sometimes conveyed. The focus of the right work, yes, let your contract be extended. Please support this Korean fighter on social media so that it can be extended," wrote Nabil.

Nabil's comments became an overflow of disappointment because the Borneo FC goalkeeper was not brought.

In fact, during the era of Shin Tae-yong's coaching, Nadeo has been trusted as the main goalkeeper 18 times. During Nadeo's involvement, the Indonesian national team's goal conceded 23 times.

Meanwhile, Syahrul's appearance at the Garuda Squad has only been six times. Syahrul has conceded six times or has always conceded in every appearance.

If you refer to these statistics, the number of Nadeo conceded is indeed more. However, it cannot be a reference.

You see, looking at the clean sheet, Nadeo is superior to Syahrul, who has only made a clean sheet once.
