JAKARTA - Suwon FC will consider permission to release their new player, Pratama Arhan, to join the Indonesian national team which will appear in the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup. This was conveyed by the head coach of Suwon FC, Kim Eun-jung.
The 2024 U-23 Asian Cup will run from April 15 to May 3, 2024 in Qatar. In that event, Shin-Tae Yong as the coach is quite bothered to find players to fill the squad. The reason is, the tournament is not an official FIFA agenda so that the club has the authority to detain its players.
Namun, dengan pernyataan yang diungkap Kim Eun-jung terkait Pratama Arhan, situasi itu jelas jadi angin segar bagi Shin Tae-yong. Dalam pernyataannya, pelatih Suwon FC malah dengan bangsa hati akan menghunakan Arhan agar bisa membela Timnas Indonesia.
"So, I will help him (Pratama Arhan) until he can (defense the Indonesian national team)," said Kim Eun-jung in his statement during Media Day at the Sultan Hotel, Senayan, Central Jakarta, on Thursday, February 15, 2024.

Kim Eun-jung's efforts to make it easier for Pratama Arhan to defend the Garuda Squad were not without reason. You see, he knows how it feels to be the coach of the national team.
As is known, Kim Eun-jung was the coach of South Korea U-20 in 2021-2023. Searching for the best player is the most difficult thing.
Therefore, he understands very well the situation faced by Shin Tae-yong and tries to support him.
"I have also worked in the South Korean U-20 national team (Timnas). Therefore, I know that the tournament (the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup) is important for the Indonesian national team and Arhan," said Kim Eun-jung.
On the same occasion, Pratama Arhan emphasized that he would leave all decisions to Suwon FC even though he had received the green light from the coach.
The former Tokyo Verdy player chose to join a joint team decision. Moreover, to determine his status later, Suwon FC must also consider many things.
"If I personally, all decisions are on the side of the team and the coach. It wants to be released (to the U-23 Indonesian national team) or I will stay (in Suwon FC). It's up to the coach and team. I follow the decision of the coach and head coach," said Pratama Arhan.
