JAKARTA - The manager of the Indonesian national team, Sumardji, revealed the impression received by Patrick Kluivert after directly monitoring one of the Liga 1 matches. He said the new coach of the Garuda Squad had a good impression on the match.

"Yes, (Patrick) Kluiver, Alex (Pastoor), and Denny (Landzaat), four people, all of whom saw firsthand, especially seeing talents, yes, each (player) we will summon for the Indonesian national team," said Sumardi after attending a meeting with Commission X DPR RI on Monday, February 3, 2025.

"If asked about the impressions, yes, of course each has a pretty good impression," said the man who is also the chairman of the National Team Agency (BTN).
Furthermore, Sumardji ensured that the monitoring carried out by Kluivers in Liga 1 was carried out carefully. This is so that the players who are summoned to the Indonesian national team will later become the right person.
"Well, of course, what will be called is specifically seen from all things. So, this is a tight time, so it's not wrong to call, something like that," said Sumardji.
Kluivert and three of his assistants will still monitor the other League 1 matches for the remainder of the season. The plan is that the Dutch coach will watch the Dewa United vs Persija Jakarta match at Pakansari Stadium, Bogor, Saturday, February 8, 2025.
This monitoring process is part of Kluiver's efforts and three of his assistants have the names of the best players who play League 1 to strengthen the Indonesian national team.
The reason is, the Indonesian national team will play a follow-up match for the 2026 World Cup Qualification Third Round against Australia on March 20 and Bahrain on March 25, 2025.
